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.

Professional, helpful advice with practical solutions This 30 minute feeding consultation was a great support for me as a parent of a super picky toddler. The appointment was easy to set up, with a lot of flexibility to fit my busy schedule. My coach, Krystyn, really listened to my concerns and gave me amazing tips and suggestions that left me feeling empowered as a parent. My husband and I have been using the ideas given to us, and have found ourselves enjoying meal time again! It isn't perfect, but the progress we have made gives me hope that my kids are both developing positive eating habits. The consultation confirmed things that I was doing well, and ideas on how to help improve our food conversations in the home to help develop these habits even more. I would absolutely use this service in the future and I have recommended this to fellow moms of picky eaters! I also love that my coach followed up with an email with further information about our conversation. I can even follow her on social media to get more great tips. Thanks for the support, both for my self and for my picky toddler!Thank you to the Stellar Review Pannel for this opportunity.

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.

Telling all my friends! Had a great experience, used Tot Squad to find a sleep consultant and loved being able to compare across different providers. Then used them again for a car seat installation service which gave me great peace of mind!

I scheduled a call with Tot Squad to… I scheduled a call with Tot Squad to discuss my toddler who is a picky eater. Booking the call was very simple - I purchased the call through the Walmart website, and then was sent very clear email instructions with a link to sign up for a time slot. I LOVED that the time slots began early in the morning and ran well past toddler bedtime, and there was also a lot of weekend availability. I was able to get an appointment as soon as the next day, and I could work around my work schedule and my kids’ routines so that the call had no impact whatsoever on our day, which was awesome. While I know remote/video appointments have become the norm (at least for now), I still really appreciated this format and flexibility as a working mom with little ones, and felt the range of times gave Tot Squad an advantage over any other video appointments I’ve scheduled. My coach, Theresa, was excellent. She was kind and empathetic but also very clearly knowledgeable about feeding concerns. I love that she is a lactation consultant in addition to a registered dietician, because she was able to incorporate information about my toddler’s nursing history and consider all aspects when thinking about her current eating habits. Theresa provided reassurance but also gave me practical suggestions, and I left the call feeling heard and with some ideas for improvement to try at home. She also followed up and provided helpful and reputable literature via email, which was a nice touch. I would consider using Tot Squad again if the price were more reasonable. The call was great for a low commitment, super convenient opportunity to speak with a professional about concerns that may or may not warrant more formal or consistent help. However, at $50 for a 20 minute session, it would probably be more cost effective for me to schedule a free screening with a local pediatric therapy clinic or to pay the co-pay through my insurance for a virtual or office visit with a specialist with similar credentials. My favorite part about Tot Squad was the convenience of scheduling and the comfort of making the call from my own home. The commitment was minimal, and it was not at all intimidating for a parent who might be hesitant to reach out for help. It’s a nice option if you are looking for a little reassurance about next steps - is a call and a few tips enough, or should I pursue something more to help my child? This is a great way to find out. Still, the cost may be prohibitive for some. For me, if I were considering this service again, it would depend on whether convenience or cost were more important to me at that moment in time. If I need an appointment right away with flexible timing, Tot Squad would be worth the price. If I can wait and work around typical business hours, I could likely save most or all of the cost by looking elsewhere.
