Q: Is this considered cereal?
submitted by tgrant - 6 months ago
A: Yes, this is considered a baby cereal. Baby cereals like this one are made with grains that have been treated with enzymes to make the cereals more digestible and easier to prepare compared to regular cereals (like your morning oatmeal) which require a cooking step or use of hot water.

Q: When to start allergy food for babies
submitted by Menchie - 1 year ago
A: The 2020 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans and other prominent medical associations (NIH, AAP, AAAAI) recommend starting babies as early as 4 months of age with food allergen introduction. We recommend starting the Stage 1 introduction, and Stage 2 for continued exposure together anytime between 4 - 12 months of age. You should sustain exposure to Stage 2 for at least 2 months. Stage 3 is designed as the next step from Stage 2, and expands allergen exposure from 3 to 9 allergens including tree nuts, sesame, wheat and soy. However, if your baby hasn't started allergen introduction, but is already eating solid foods, feel free to start with Stage 3. Continue on Stage 3 for 3 - 6 months. Feeding foods like peanut, egg, and milk only once or twice is NOT enough. We recommend using Ready. Set. Food!, for at least 6 months, or until your baby is regularly eating the allergens at least 3 times a week. We designed Ready. Set. Food!, to make it safe and easy for parents to not only introduce the allergens, but to sustain exposure as well.

Hard to cancel, confusing subscription structure

The product itself is ok. It clumps a little. However, the way they structure the subscription and make it very hard and confusing to cancel is extremely frustrating. I’ve been going back and forth with a rep for about a week and still don’t understand what’s going on with my subscription, and why i still need to pay more even if i cancel
Ideal for parents who have food allergies

Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
poodlemom - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
As a ER nurse and a new mom this was something that I’ve been eyeing for awhile. Since my husband is severely allergic to milk, peanuts and eggs where I am not. I wanted a safe way to introduce these food to our daughter. By luck she tolerated all these with no reactions. We have started her on the first box of the maintenance. The only negative I have noticed with these is you do need to use a bigger nipple size if you are mixing with formula, this wasn’t an issue with me since we already thickened her bottles for reflux. But could be for other parents. Otherwise I found this to be a safe way to slowly build her body up so she could tolerate these foods. I don’t think the full 6 months of this is needed once you child starts eating soft foods. It definitely something for any parent to try out when food allergies are a concern, yes it can be pricey but worth it on my end.
Poor design & waste of money if known allergies
2 out of 5 stars
Mom of CMPA baby - 8 months ago
originally posted on Ready, Set, Food!
Loved the idea of this but the design fails to consider what happens if a child is allergic to one of the early allergens (i.e., milk or egg). The rest of the kit is completely unusable after that because each step includes the allergens from the previous step with no way to remove it. If you find your baby is allergic to milk or egg, you can't test peanut because that contains both milk and egg. For maintenance, you also can't use if your baby has a reaction to any of the three because it contains all 3 allergens together rather than individually. Recommend having the allergens packaged separately so the process can be personalized based on what is learned at each step. If you learn your baby is allergic to any of the 3, you basically have to throw out the rest of the packages because they contain all 3 together instead of being able to continue to expose your child to the allergens to which they did not have a reaction.

Having trouble with it stopping up the holes in nipples, but otherwise all seems good .. We are just finishing up the intro to the milk, egg, peanut!!

I love the concept and design/ease of use. Unfortunately, my daughter had a reaction (hives all over face, neck and trunk) to the second maintenance packet and we had to stop using. All things considered, a reaction like that is better than having two systems affected (vomiting with hives, airway issues and hives etc). Glad it was a small exposure when we found out.
Good System

SS - 11 months ago

A good system for new parents… Stage 1 is clearly labeled for each day, pretty much a no brainer. Doses are very small as well.. My baby who is diagnosed with eczema hasn’t had any flares yet (fingers crossed). My baby didn’t detect anything different in her formula and finished everything. I do notice you will need to shake vigorously to mix though. However, I think the product may not be suitable for those with allergies since it goes by Dairy… Dairy + Egg… Dairy + Egg + Peanut to build up the allergens intake .. So it might go to waste if your baby does have an allergy early on. There’s also no refund policy on it so might want to just start with stage 1 first.
Doesn’t dissolve well

These are a great idea, especially because my baby had a mild reaction to the cows milk powder (I’m glad it was a tiny dose)… but the only complaint is that they don’t dissolve well, even in warm milk.
Milk in all powder

Milk in all powder so baby can’t have any of the powder due to having an allergy to dairy. Lil mixins is another brand that introduces top allergens but luckily they don’t have milk in all the different stages.
Couldn’t use

I love the idea of this program but wish it allowed for more individualization. I only used the first packed bc my son had an allergic reaction to the milk protein. I was disappointed because I could not use any of the rest of the packets because of that. I wish that each allergen was in its own packet, so that way in cases like this, we could’ve still introduced the other allergens, bust since they were combined it was a waste.

My brother told me about this after seeing it on Shark Tank. I spoke with my pediatrician before starting my baby on it to make sure he was OK with it. His biggest concern was that the allergens would be introduced all at the same time so you couldn’t decipher which Food your baby had an allergy too. I was so happy when I opened the box for the first month and saw that the allergens are actually introduced one at a time so that I will know if he has an allergy to some thing some reviews say that the packets are hard to dissolve . So far, that has not been my experience. We just added it to his formula in the morning and have had no issues with clumps or it getting stuck in the nipple. We are on day four, but so far I am really happy with how easy this has been to introduce allergens to my four month old, and I am hopeful that this will help prevent him from having food allergies in life.

Peanut packets need improvement
1 out of 5 stars
Ceedubs - 1 year ago
originally posted on Ready, Set, Food!
Worked really well up until peanut was added. It was so thick and clumpy. I tried three different nipples on our bottles, I tried breast milk and formula. I even tried the nipples for “thicker fluids” but those ended up being too fast for our 5 month old. I tried mixing it with food but there’s no way to get all of the packet in with food at this age. I wanted this to work so badly! Our first kiddo had issues with peanut. We used ready set food puffs after working through it to help maintain and we LOVED those. I was hoping this would give us a head start since our second also has eczema and may be at risk. I’m going to try mixing with breast milk and using one of those infant medicine syringes to see if that works to try to maintain what we’ve built up so far until she starts consuming more solids and I can mix it in that without wasting it.
Highly recommend, used with all kids

Great Concept, Needs Packaging Improvement
4 out of 5 stars
Asimpson - 1 year ago
originally posted on Ready, Set, Food!
I absolutely love the concept of Ready. Set. Food! Introducing allergies to our baby was something I was always nervous about and this program makes it easy. The only thing I wish would be improved is the packaging. The powder really sticks to the inside of the package, so I'm often having to take a small spoon to get it all out in the bottle. It makes it very messy. If they made thinner packets, it would be a lot easier to pour into the bottle. Also, it says to use at least a size 1 nipple. I use the Dr. Brown bottles and have to use a size 3, otherwise it clogs.
Do not buy - allergens are mixed together!

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
jannelle525 - 1 year ago
Please look at all the 1-2 starred reviews before purchasing or you risk wasting a lot of money. You'll realize that this system is majorly flawed. Suppose your child is allergic to milk which is the first allergen introduced. EVERY SINGLE PACKET in the system contains milk as all allergens are mixed together in a single packet. For me, my son showed allergic symptoms on day 7 with eggs, and as mentioned before, every single packet from day 7 onwards contains eggs. This means he is not able to continue with the system and I had just wasted $100 as no refunds are offered. Many infants are allergic to milk, eggs or peanuts, especially those with eczema, so your chances of wasting money are pretty high. Please look elsewhere parents. There are similar products on the market that isolate allergens which are much much better. Do not be fooled by the marketing of this product. When questioned on the logic behind mixing allergens together, the response was simply for convenience. Trust me, you do not want to trade being able to properly introduce allergens for convenience. It is really not worth it. I wouldn't have purchased this product had my brain worked a little better and figured out the flaws in the system.

We're sorry to hear about your son's reaction to egg when using our product. Our Mix-Ins were developed by allergists and pediatricians to match the design of clinical trials. This means starting with a low dose of a food allergen and building it up gradually, and then maintaining that exposure over time, because it is this combination of early introduction AND sustained exposure that has been proven successful in clinical trials. This is the reason we combine multiple allergens in each of our daily packets.
