Are Consultations Right For You?

✔️  Your baby is experiencing discomfort by exhibiting one or more of these symptoms: diarrhea, bloody stool, excessively mucous stool, constipation, rash, sleep challenges, acid reflux, vomiting, or general inconsolability. 

 

✔️  You suspect your baby might be reacting to something in your diet (if breastfeeding) or an ingredient in your formula, and are looking for professional support to identify the culprit(s). 

 

✔️  You've been given the option to give your baby medicine, but you'd prefer to resolve the root cause, rather than simply treat the symptoms.

 

✔️  You find yourself googling for answers, but that's resulted in little to no value, and you have low confidence in the information you've come across so far. 

 

​✔️  You want to resolve your baby's symptoms, reduce their discomfort, and reach your feeding goals, as quickly as possible, but are feeling discouraged and stressed by the challenges you and your baby are facing.

 

✔️  You are seeking guidance from experts who understand the challenges you're experiencing (because we've been there with our own children), and are equipped to help you!

What to Expect?

 

After you book, you will be prompted to share some information about your baby's history and current challenges. The more detail you give us upfront, the faster we can get to real answers in your session.


To get the most out of your consultation, have these ready:

  • Your child's age and symptoms

  • How long you have noticed reactions

  • What you have already tried (diet changes, allergy testing, medications)

  • Your feeding goals

  • What your child's medical team has recommended so far

  • How your own mental and physical health are holding up

 

This is a science-based education consultation tailored to your journey. It is not a substitute for standard medical care or treatment advice. Sessions may be observed by a Free to Feed team member in training.

What families are saying

Free to Feed is literally a LIFE SAVER. If your child has food allergies, you need this in your life. From providing educational resources in a way you can understand to connecting you with a community, it's the first time I don't feel alone and lost. The most valuable part to me is having a community of Drs and Specialists that are certified and actually knowledgeable in this space. Finally gives food allergy parents hope.
