Ready Set Food Stage 3 Baby Food Mix-Ins - Baby Allergen Introduction Kit | 9 Top Allergens, Peanut, Egg, Milk, Cashew & More, Organic Allergen Powder for Babies & Toddlers 6+ Months, 30-Day Supply

Great way to introduce and maintain allergens in baby’s diet. Mixes completely into bottle and so easy.

I used this system with my first child starting at around 4 months old and he has no allergies now at 2 years old. I’m currently using it with my second child but started a little late at around 7 months. He was already showing interest in solids at 6 months and developed hives while eating eggs. After finishing the egg introduction packets, he no longer has any allergic reaction to eggs! I like that this system introduces each allergen separately so if your child has a reaction, you know what allergen it is, and the amounts start very low and build up to increase their exposure. I also appreciate that it’s designed to be added to breastmilk/formula so you can start long before they start solids, but it can also be mixed into foods and purées. It’s put me at ease knowing my kids are safe from developing anaphylactic allergies to the most common allergens.

We've been enjoying this product. Really great concept and the ease makes it worth the price. I found the stage 2 packets are best in solids (oatmeal/cereal) for my baby. She was fine drinking the earlier packets in stage 1 in a bottle, but once we got to the stage 2 packets, she wouldn't drink the bottle with it. No problem, it works great in oatmeal. Here's the but: We did stage 1 and have been doing stage 2. The first couple boxes of packets were easy to pour into a bowl. However, our most recent box of packets hasn't been. They powder is very stuck to the pouch. I try scraping it out, but find it very hard to get it all out with it so stuck to the inner side of the pouch. I'm not sure if this was just a bad batch or not. Going to give it 1 more order, and if it's still challenging, we may stop unfortunately. Hoping for the best because we loved using it prior. Update: We continued into stage 3 and had a good experience. So it must have just been a bad batch or the outside temperature on delivery day or something! We loved using it.

Great concept and mostly going well with our five month old. As others have mentioned the system is slightly flawed in that all allergens are packaged together after day 5, so if baby is already allergic to one, the rest is of the system is useless. Thankfully we haven’t had that issue, but once we got to the stage where peanut was added it started clogging the bottles. No matter how well we shake the bottle, it doesn’t fully dissolve into the milk. You can see the sediment particles on the bottom. Packaging says it’s best with size 1 nipples or higher. We’re using 1s, and we have a few different bottle brands. They all get clogged with this product. Keep having to pull the bottle away and swish it around to get the sediment out of the way. Which makes for a very frustrated baby. Going to try size 2 nipples. Hopefully that will be better. UPDATE: Size 2 nipples are better, but still not great. I’ve found how I prep the bottle helps. I add the packet to 2oz warm water, shake vigorously, then add formula powder. Still clogs the bottle a bit, especially near the end of the bottle because the sediment settles to the bottom. Overall still happy with it, but can’t wait until he’s eating solids so I can add it to those.

I started using these baby mix-ins to prevent allergies and must say that the first two steps were quite enjoyable. The convenience of adding an allergy-preventing element to my baby's diet was a relief, and it seemed like a fantastic solution. However, my experience took a turn with the third step. Unfortunately, it can't be mixed into a bottle, which is a major downside, especially when practicing baby-led weaning. This approach involves introducing solid foods to your baby, so the inability to mix it with your bottle makes it challenging to incorporate into their diet. I've noticed that they've come out with snack-size versions of these mix-ins, and I'm considering switching to those once I finish these packets. My pediatrician even mentioned that these might be a bit gimmicky, so I've been supplementing with actual peanut products as well. Overall, the first two steps were promising, but the inconvenience of the third step has been a drawback for me. I'll be exploring alternative options that fit better with my baby-led weaning approach.

I like the product itself due to how simple it is to use. Just mix one packet in a bottle every day. The first 12 packets are numbered so that each of the first three allergens are added one at a time every four days. First four days is just milk allergen, then four days of milk and egg, then four days of milk, egg, and peanut. My issue is that I only received 27 packets instead of 30 as the package says it should have. I have reached out multiple times through both email and phone calls and have still not received any communication from the seller. Updated to add: it's been nearly two weeks. I've sent multiple emails and phone calls and still haven't received any response.

We are big fans of ready, set, food! Our baby breezed through stages 1 & 2 with cow's milk, eggs, and peanut so I assumed stage 3 would be equally easy. I put the powder in and started feeding. Within a few minutes my baby started getting fussy, cheeks turning red, and then the hives started. It was scary but we had benadryl on hand and called our peds for next steps. We then had our baby tested and discovered a severe sesame allergy. I'm sad and anxious about our baby having an allergy but also grateful to know that it exists and how to manage it going forward. Having the small dose and precise ingredients made it easy to pinpoint and diagnose the allergy. Our baby had also been exposed to wheat and soy before stage 3 so we were really able to narrow the allergist appointment to tree nuts and sesame. Perhaps not the best review of the product, but at least you know it works in terms of small exposures!

This product was amazing for my kiddo a year ago. I was going to buy it again but the price jumped up 60 dollars?! Really wish I could have used this for my second born if it didnt get to pricey.
