Stage 1 + 2 Mix-Ins

Fair question, and we’d rather answer it straight.

We kept our price the same for seven years while the cost of almost everything in each packet went up. This year we finally changed it. Here’s what you’re paying for:

• Organic allergen foods are expensive. Nuts are some of the most expensive foods you can buy, and organic ones cost even more. We bring in our organic cashew and walnut from Germany because that’s where we can get infant-grade organic supply that meets our standards.
• Tiny, exact amounts are hard to make. Every packet has a very small, precise amount that goes up a little at a time. Getting that right in every packet takes specialized production that most food makers can’t do.
• We test every lot, every time. Before anything ships, we test it, including heavy metals per serving at an ISO 17025 accredited lab.
• We don’t cut corners to get the price down. We’re 100% organic, with no added sugar and nothing artificial, and we’re Clean Label Project certified. Cheaper ingredients would cost less, and we won’t use them.

On the 6-month program, that comes to about $2 a day, with nothing to measure and nothing to throw away.

If cost is getting in the way, email us at support@readysetfood.com. We’d rather help you find a plan that works than have you skip it.

Chances are you'll never need this — reactions in babies under 1 are rare and usually mild. Stage 1+2 is built to keep it that way: one allergen at a time, starting with a tiny amount that increases slowly, so if anything does show up, you'll know exactly which food.

Ready. Set. Food! was created with leading allergists to make early allergen introduction as gentle as possible. We start with tiny amounts of peanut, egg, and milk, introduce them one at a time, and build up slowly to the amounts used in clinical studies, following AAP and CDC recommendations.

Before you start. If your baby has severe eczema or a known egg allergy, check with your pediatrician first.

Make it easy to watch. On days a new food begins (your packets are labeled day by day), give the packet in the first morning feed, when your baby is well, and keep an eye on them for the next couple of hours. Reactions show up within minutes, almost always within 2 hours.

A mild reaction looks like: a few hives (raised red bumps) or redness in one spot, mild swelling around the lips, or a single vomit. Pause the packets, snap a photo, and call your pediatrician before continuing.

Call 911 right away if (this is rare): trouble breathing or wheezing, swelling of the tongue or throat, hives spreading across the body, repeated vomiting, or your baby looks pale, floppy or unusually sleepy.

Not a reaction: fussiness, gas or constipation on their own. Keep going, and mention it to your pediatrician if it persists.
