Newborns and infants have specific needs and feeding issues. If you are concerned that your infant is not getting sufficient nutrition from breastfeeding, we can recommend formula options. If your baby is ready to transition from breastfeeding to pureed or solid foods, we can ease the transition and help our New York patients choose options that are as healthy and natural as possible for their infant.

Toddlers can be finicky and opinionated, particularly when it comes to feeding time. Sometimes, it can be all too easy to give into your toddler's desires and give them the foods they want to eat. However, it is important to encourage healthy eating habits at this age to assist children in getting the proper nutrition for their growth and development, and in being open to a wider range of healthy food options.

I really like our interaction, we have already met 3 times. Ms Schulman is very professional and thorough, with excellent bedside manner, as she is a great listener and really makes an effort to know and understand her patients lifestyles and health issues.
