A baby allergy tracker that remembers the details for you

The best way to track your baby food allergies is to write down the details the moment they happen. Here is how Plumi makes it simple.

Starting solids is exciting, and a little nerve-wracking. A few new foods in, most parents hit the same moment: a rash, some fussiness, a bit of spit-up, and the quiet worry that maybe it was something he ate.

The hard part usually isn’t guessing which food. It’s the details. What time did he eat it? How bad was the reaction? Which symptoms, and how long after the meal? Those are the exact questions your pediatrician will ask, and by the time you’re in the office two weeks later, the answers are a blur.

That’s the whole reason we built a proper baby allergy tracker into Plumi. Write it down while it’s fresh, and you never have to guess.

Catch it while it’s happening

When you log a solid feed, there’s a Reaction? toggle right there. Flip it on, mark how bad it was, and tap the symptoms you’re seeing (rash, hives, vomiting, and so on). You’re logging it in the moment, so the time and date take care of themselves. Save it, and that food lands on your baby’s allergy list automatically.

A few taps now, and you’ve got a real record instead of a fuzzy memory later.

One list of foods to watch

Everything you flag collects into a single allergy list. You can also add one straight away: tap a common allergen like milk, egg, or peanut, or type in any food, then set how bad it was and jot a quick note. Little qualifiers like “only raw, cooked is fine” never fit in a checkbox, and this is where they live.

Working out the real culprit often takes a few tries. You pull a suspect food for a while, then give it another go later to see if the reaction comes back. A dated record is what makes that possible, since you can’t reliably compare a rash today with one from last month in your head. One thing worth saying: reintroducing a food that caused a reaction is a conversation to have with your pediatrician first, especially if it was a bad one. Plumi’s job is just to hand you the clear history you’ll bring to them.

Share it with whoever feeds your baby

Your baby is rarely fed by only one person. Grandparents, a partner, daycare, a sitter. From the list, Share list sends a clean, plain-text summary through the normal share sheet, so it works in Messages, WhatsApp, or email. Nothing to install on their end, just a readable list they can glance at before mealtime.

Ready for the check-up

For appointments, Plumi can pull everything onto a single Baby Card you can print or save as a PDF. It sets the allergies next to growth, vaccinations, and health history, so your doctor sees the whole picture on one page. The Baby Card is part of Plumi Pro; logging allergies, keeping the list, and sharing it are always free.

Plumi doesn’t diagnose anything, and it isn’t medical advice. It just holds the details so you’re not relying on memory when it counts. That record stays on your phone, and you bring it to your pediatrician to decide what it means together.

Calm days, gently remembered.
