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.

Do Lots of Kids Have Unhealthy Diets?
Unfortunately, yes. According to this study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
What Should My Child's Diet Consist Of?
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that children over the age of two should have a diet that consists of:
- Various fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Fat-free and low-fat dairy products
- A variety of protein-rich foods
- Healthy oils
Meanwhile, children should limit their intake of saturated fats, trans fats, sodium, and added sugars.
Certain children may have dietary restrictions or conditions that require deviations from these recommendations, but Allison Schulman can adapt your child's diet to ensure they have the nutritional building blocks they need to develop both physically and mentally.
A Good Diet Can Equal Good Health

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. It is a pleasure to meet with her every month and learn from her the importance of leading a healthy life by eating healthy and exercising regularly...

Additional Benefits of Nutrition Counseling
Prevent Medical Conditions
A healthy diet can contribute to the prevention of disorders like high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and iron deficiencies, so your child can live a healthier life unhindered by these conditions.
Introduce New Foods
Picky eaters often don't get the nutrients they need and can be unwilling to try new foods based on the way the food looks, or past experiences with food. Allison can help you introduce your child to a variety of new foods by improving their presentation and making them taste more appetizing.
Learn to Cook
Even if you're an excellent chef, Allison can teach you how to hone your skills even further and get more creative in the kitchen. After creating a personalized nutrition plan for your child, she will make sure you have everything you need to carry it out.
Nutrition Counseling and Insurance
Many insurance companies reimburse for nutrition therapy services. Depending on the reason for your nutrition therapy, your insurance may contribute to the cost. Allison Schulman Nutrition accepts many insurance plans so this counseling can fit comfortably into your budget.
