What a great resource To start, booking with TotSquad was so easy. The scheduling system was quick and easy to use, and there were so many choices available for my session. Also, there were tons of time slots and plenty were early morning or late at night after the kids were in bed, so it was really convenient. I really liked my coach, as she was a mom herself and was super personable. I showed up in my towel after a shower, and she completely related and didn't make me feel bad for not being put together. She was easy to talk to, really knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. She even took time after our session to send me helpful links and resources based on our convo. I would absolutely recommend TotSquad based on my experience. While I generally don't seek outside advice like this, I found it refreshing to speak with someone in a relaxed setting, who wasn't my doctor but was more experienced than a friend. Especially when the internet can be overwhelming, it was nice to get guidance specified to my situation.

Great service, just not for me Tot squad is a modern and up to date way for all nursing mom's to get advice, help and support especially during tough times such as these. It was super easy to schedule online a time and date to make an appointment to meet over zoom. My coach was good but honestly I can't say she helped me in particular much. During video call, she told me because she's not seeing me in person, there is not much she can help with. Being a 3rd time nursing mama, I think I honestly helped myself more than the appointment helped me. I kind of wish I learned something new or helpful tips to fixing my nursing issue. At the end, she kindly offered to send me links and information on breastfeeding that I already researched online myself from before. Therefore, this was my least favorite part about the video call. I can't say I learned much but maybe this was just my experience. I think if I was a first time mom and didn't have access to a lactation consultant this would be convenient and very beneficial. The other thing for me personally is that I do not feel comfortable nursing my son over the internet on a video chat with a stranger. Moving forward, I doubt I would use this service but I would still recommend it to my girlfriend who may need help or advice from an experienced lactation consultant and who is comfortable on the internet.

Great Virtual Resource Thank you to Stellar Panel for the opportunity to try Tot Squad. It was very easy to make an appointment on their site and the nutritionist was on time for the call. It was nice to know that there are virtual resources like this especially during Covid. They had late time slots which made it convenient after work/after baby went to bed. As for the content, it was just okay— as a first time mom and just starting my baby on foods I was looking for advice on allergy/food introductions. She recommended that we wait 7-10 days between trying new foods which is a very conservative approach! To keep everything else the same— lotions, soaps, etc so it’s easier to isolate the cause if there is a reaction.

Great advice for a picky eater! I scheduled a half hour call with the Tot Squad to get some much needed advice for my toddler who has turned into a picky eater. I was concerned that he wasn’t getting the nutrition he needed and more than that, that we were allowing bad habits to set in. After experiencing some technical difficulties getting our video call started, my coach Sara listened closely to my concerns and dug deep into our current eating routine. She eased my concerns that from a nutritional perspective, my toddler was likely just fine. What a relief. She then gave some great tips and tricks to start changing his eating habits. Cutting new foods into fun shapes or different cutting techniques (fries, diced, etc) are some tricks I’ve tried incorporating and they work - he at least tries the food which is a win. She also set some ground rules for us as parents to take control back from our toddler - it’s easy to enable him to avoid a tantrum but Sara provided some steps to help set boundaries around mealtime. The price tag is a little steep for the half hour consult, but I did get a lot of value out of it and would recommend this service to anyone who’s tried scouring the internet and is looking for some advice customized to your particular child.

I discovered Tot Squad through the Stellar Panel I discovered Tot Squad through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. After learning about this service, I decided to try it out because there was nothing to lose. I paid $50 and received 5 $10 gift cards back. I chose the feeding support service because I wanted to learn how to properly and safely prepare and store baby food. I also wanted to know what foods I should avoid and what foods I should give my baby. I felt satisfied with the information I received from my coach and felt confident about feeding my baby. I thought booking a call with Tot Squad was ok. I was very confused by the time zones. I am ET and my coach was ET, but Tot Squad showed all the video call times in PT zone. I thought everything went smoothly until I was waiting for my coach. My camera and audio worked and my coach could hear and see me but I could not hear my coach. About 10 minutes after my scheduled appointment, my coach called me and apologized and we started the call. There were definitely technical difficulties through the Tot Squad platform, but I was still able to get the feeding support I needed. My coach was very nice and answered all of my questions. Unfortunately, I probably would not use this service again because I think a 20 minute call is too short and my coach spent 10 minutes trying to get the video call to work.
