About this tool

Korean Baby Food Recipes by Age (iyusik) takes a baby’s birth date and developmental signs (head control, supported sitting, extrusion-reflex gone, interest in food) to time the start of solids and produce a 4-stage plan: early (4–6 mo) / middle (7–8) / late (9–11) / finisher (12–15) with daily frequency, texture, and ordered food lists. Includes a weekly introduction plan for the top-8 allergens (egg / milk / wheat / nuts / soy / fish / shellfish / sesame), Korean staple recipes (rice porridge, zucchini, chicken breast), an auto-shopping list, and a reaction-monitoring guide (rash / vomiting / diarrhea). Built on the 2023 Korean Pediatric Society guidelines and AAP / WHO complementary-feeding recommendations.

Use cases

Scenario 1

When to start solids

First-time parents of a 5-month-old check the 4 developmental signs and decide when to safely begin with 10 mL of rice porridge once a day.

Scenario 2

Family allergy history

When the family has nut-allergy history, the tool builds a one-allergen-per-week introduction plan to detect reactions safely.

Scenario 3

Middle β†’ late transition

For an 8-month-old, the tool walks through transitions in texture (7-part β†’ 5-part rice) and frequency (2 β†’ 3 daily).

Scenario 4

Returning-to-work parent

A parent returning to work gets a weekly meal plan, shopping list, and a make-ahead / freeze guide all at once.

Frequently asked

Q. When should I start solids?
A. The Korean Pediatric Society recommends 4–6 months. The optimal trigger is the appearance of all four signs: head control, supported sitting, loss of extrusion reflex, and interest in food. Before 4 mo risks allergy / immature gut; after 6 mo risks iron deficiency.
Q. How do I start the early stage?
A. Once a day, before lunch, start with 10–30 mL of rice porridge. Add a new food every 3–5 days and watch for rashes / vomiting / diarrhea. Texture moves from 10-part rice to 7-part.
Q. When can I introduce egg / milk?
A. Modern guidance recommends introducing allergens after 6 months rather than waiting until age 1. With family history, follow the tool’s slower weekly plan.
Q. Store-bought vs. homemade?
A. Store-bought wins on balance and time; homemade gives you fine control over single-ingredient introductions. The tool focuses on the homemade route.
