Stage 3 Mix-Ins

Love these mix ins for allergy introduction. Easy to use. Just mix it in to yogurt every morning for my baby’s breakfast.

We loved this when we had our son. I wanted to purchase the again for my daughter but can no longer afford them. The price went up $30 in 1.5 years unfortunately.

Worked well but my baby didn’t like the taste so it was hard to get her to eat them

I'll try to keep this vague because the last 2 times I wrote a review for this, it violated community guidelines and couldn't be published (I'm not sure why, I reviewed the guidelines and all I did was share my experience). Pros: great way to introduce multiple allergens to babies early if you are hoping to possibly maybe (not saying definitely, so I'm not violating any guidelines AMAZON) prevent allergies in the future. Flavor is nutty and my baby liked it. Easy to mix in with cereals. Cons: if your child has a reaction like mine did, you will have to throw away the whole box which is a big waste of money, and you will not know which allergen actually caused the reaction. Advice: use this product after you've introduced each allergen individually and confirmed no reactions. Hope this helps!

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!

I used more than recommended amount of liquid to dissolve this powder, but it never dissolved enough and ended up being stuck in the nipple hole, so my baby didn’t like it. He never got to consume the whole package. I used Medium size nipple but still didn’t get through. I tried mixing it with his favorite food such as oatmeal, but he didn’t like the taste or texture. I think a lot of people would try to use this powder because they believe they can let their babies consume allergens constantly with less hustle even if the babies can’t handle much amount of solid food. For that purpose, this powder should be able to dissolve much more easily. It was a bit of disappointment especially since I liked the first stage one which dissolved very well in formula/breast milk and came out easily through both size S and M nipples. Too bad that I didn’t get refund too because of their strict policy.

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.

We really liked Stage 1 packets. Each item is introduced in a safe manner. These packets for stage 3 do not have intro packets. All of them contain all allergens, there is no building up to add. I would give this full stars if they had introduced packets. Maybe use once you have given your child each one separately.
