GBeasy and helpful feeding support I found the session with Tot Squad very helpful! Super easy to set up, and Coach Leonila was kind and supportive. She answered all my questions about my 3yo and 10 month old boys and also gave me ideas about quick and easy meals for the kids and how to make them BLW friendly and preschooler friendly. Thanks again to Tot Squad and to the Stellar Testing Panel for the opportunity!

GBA 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.

GBNot 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.

GBTot Squad consultation I got to participate in a consultation thanks to the Stellar Panel. It was a great way to review basic nutritional principles and also get into unique ways to get my toddler to eat more veggies. A great way to learn, be reassured, and make a plan.

GBGreat 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.
