Is this a feeding plan or medical advice?

No. The Taste Log is only a place to write down what your child has tried and how it went. It doesn't tell you what to try, in what order, or at what age — for any questions about feeding, please talk to your health visitor or doctor.

What should I write in the 'Liked / didn't like' column?

Just your own observation from that day — it isn't a final verdict. A 'didn't like' note today can easily change the next time you write down the same taste, so there's no need to read too much into a single entry.

Can I use this sheet at daycare as well?

Yes. Many families print an extra copy so daycare staff can add new tastes during the day, keeping one shared overview between home and daycare instead of two separate lists.

Which version should I choose?

Pick whichever layout suits how you like to write things down — a simple log with fewer columns and larger fields, a full log with every column and the most rows, or a month-by-month layout for looking back over time. All three work the same way.

Do I need to fill in every row?

No. The rows are simply there for whenever a new taste comes up — leave blank rows for later and fill them in at your own pace, since there's no schedule to follow.

First Foods Taste Log – Free Printable

The First Foods Taste Log is a free A4 sheet where you write down every new taste your child tries — what it was, when it happened, and whether your child liked it. The sheet is meant only as a practical memory aid for your family and daycare, not as health guidance; any questions about feeding or reactions should go to your health visitor or doctor. Print the sheet and hang it up at home, or keep it in a binder you fill in as new tastes come along.

About this sheet

Keeping a written log makes it much easier to remember what your child has actually tried, especially once the list grows longer than you expected. A quick note in the moment beats trying to recall it weeks later.

The sheet is meant to be filled in by hand, a little at a time, rather than planned out in advance. There's no required order for writing things down — just add each new taste as it happens.

Because the log is simple and visual, it works well as a shared reference between parents, grandparents, and daycare, so everyone sees the same overview at a glance.

If you ever have questions about feeding, reactions, or anything else related to your child's diet, your health visitor or doctor is the right person to ask — this sheet is only here to help you keep track, not to guide those decisions.

What you get

One printable A4 page with blank rows for logging every new taste
Three versions: a simple log, a full log, and a month-by-month log
Space for the date and whether your child liked each new taste
A clear note that this is a memory aid only, not health guidance

How to use it

Print the sheet. Choose the version that fits your routine and print it on A4 paper.
Fill in as you go. Each time your child tries something new, write it down along with the date and how it went.
Hang it up or file it. Keep the sheet on the fridge or in a binder, or bring it along to checkups as your own notes.
