I used Tot Squad to schedule a nutrition consultation for a picky eater I used Tot Squad to schedule a nutrition consultation for my picky 12-month-old baby. He never took to solids, and we just couldn't figure out a way to entice him. Even though he's our third child we were completely clueless because our other children loved solids and were great (baby) eaters! Leonila was our coach, and she was fabulous. She provided great suggestions, normalized our experiences, was not judgmental and never made me feel bad. She also followed up via email with a feeding resource that I printed out and put up on our fridge to support my baby's eating. I'm happy to say that my baby has improved in his eating, and so has my sanity! I would absolutely recommend Tot Squad, and Leonila for nutrition consults. I may try sleep consultations next!

Helpful, but overpriced I have two very picky eaters at home, one aged 4 and the other aged 20 months. My toddler has recently started being pickier than usual so I decided to give tot squad a try. My nutritionist was very helpful, knowledgeable and her cheery demeanor helped bring my spirits up. She helped me believe that my boys would soon be eating better with time. Krystyn emailed me right after our consultation with some valuable information that we had spoken about and some additional links that I could find useful. I have not seen a difference in my kids’ eating habits yet, but I am hoping that will change soon. My least favorite part was how short the consultation was. If a parent is paying $50 a pop, I expect something a bit longer than 20 minutes. I do not think I would use this service again because of the briefness of the service and because most of these tips could be discussed with your child’s pediatrician if you are very worried or found online on sites like Pinterest.

Not Worth It I want to be clear that the person I met with was knowledgable and friendly and did her best to be helpful. I think the service delivery model needs tweaking. For me, RD services are covered by insurance so to go $50 out of pocket there needs to be something exceptional. Since there is not a robust intake procedure it felt very surface level and introductory. For "standard" RD visit or feeding therapy you would fill out several pages of paperwork and meet for 30+ minutes. She did have some helpful suggestions and was able to speak to every issue that I brought up. She also promised to email me additional resources but I have not received these.

A personalized nutritionist for your kid Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me an opportunity to try a nutritional coach from the Tot Squad for my almost 1 year old. Even as a second time mom my two boys are so different especially in how they eat. We were worried about food allergies and since I was unable to make my own baby food from scratch like I did for the first one; it was important to me that I make sure he gets exactly what he needs to grow healthy and with a strong immune system due to the pandemic. Scheduling a coach was easy enough although they did not have too many options. Once scheduled I received a few emails that were a bit confusing but nonetheless the virtual appointment was not difficult to access. My coach was very interested in hearing what my concerns and or focus for the appointment and I explained my reasons for using their services. The session is only 20 minutes long so it was very short and abbreviated given the amount of time you get within your appointment. She assured me that she would email me with all that was discussed and she did later that afternoon. I had a 9:20am time slot and she emailed me at about 1:15pm. She included links and pdf images to help support her recommendations. She was thorough in her email with details and even correcting some her over the phone advise. This bothered me because we specifically spoke about cows milk and she never mentioned that we should not start til after 1 years old. Only in her email did she stress the importance of waiting before introducing this to him and that was concerning considering how long after we received the email. Overall a great experience but not sure I would use again in the future. I would recommend to family with a child having feeding issues.

Helpful information I found my visit with TotSquad helpful and it was a comfortable and relaxing setting being able to have the virtual call from home. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of scheduling my appointment and that I could pretty much pick any time of day to schedule it (even on weekends and evenings). I received the TotSquad session from the Stellar Panel and chose the allergy prevention topic as my oldest child does have food allergies. As a parent of a child with food allergies (and also a dietitian myself), I saw this visit as more of a review session for my youngest (who is just starting on solid foods) and wouldn't say that I necessarily learned any new tips. However, could see this as very helpful to first time parents. The coach I met with seemed to be knowledgable in the topic and also emailed references and handouts after the call, which was much appreciated. She also did touch on other topics and asked if I had any other questions regarding breastfeeding or introducing solids.
