What is BabyBites?

BabyBites helps parents follow every step of their baby's feeding journey. They explore an illustrated library of the first 100 foods, log meals and moods, introduce the 9 major allergens safely, record reactions, track growth and plan balanced weeks — all in a calm, premium design that works on every phone.

Families can share a baby profile with a partner, grandparent or nanny as parent, caregiver or viewer. Reminders are sent by e-mail, and every family can export or delete its data at any time.

It runs on normal shared hosting (Hostinger, cPanel, Plesk) with PHP and MySQL. The web installer checks your server, creates the database and your admin account in about a minute, in a domain root, a sub-domain or a sub-folder.
