Pediatric Nutrition Consultant and Advisor

As a licensed pediatric registered dietitian, single mother of three, and nutrition expert with over 15 years of experience in childhood nutrition, I know what babies and kids need to eat in order to thrive and grow, and I am deeply attuned to the challenges parents face as they strive to feed them.

I use my background and work history to help like-minded companies develop food products and nutrition initiatives that improve the lives of infant, child, and family nutrition everywhere.

If you are a brand, business, organization, educational campaign, or food company ready to optimize your offerings for the infant, child, and family feeding space, let’s chat!

Here is some of the experience and nutrition expertise I’ll bring to our work together:

  • Private practice: I have run a private pediatric practice in New York for the past 8 years, working primarily with infants, toddlers, and children

  • Clinical nutrition: I spent over two years working as a clinical dietitian at the Bronx VA Medical Center in weight management

  • Corporate: For six years, I served as the Director of Nutrition at a concierge telemedicine and wellness platform rooted in telomere science and longevity

  • Social Media: I am a top nutrition influencer and thought leader in the infant and child feeding space, with over 140K followers on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube

  • Traditional Media: As a former National Media Spokesperson (New York Media Market) for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, I am media-trained and a seasoned media dietitian with extensive experience in print, in front of, and behind the camera

  • Author: I’m the best-selling author of two infant feeding books on baby-led weaning and food allergy prevention

Malina is an absolute gem! She's extremely knowledgeable about child nutrition, incredibly creative, easy to work with, and delivers fantastic content. Malina is a true professional who can translate complicated science into easy-to-digest facts and practical tips that parents and other healthcare professionals can actually use. I've worked with Malina once and can't wait to work with her again on future projects.
