programs and services
Our team is dedicated to helping families be as healthy as possible. That's why we offer a variety of services for families inpatient and outpatient. Learn more below!
nutrition clinic
During a patient visit in the nutrition clinic patients will have the chance to meet with the dietitian for one hour. This allows plenty of time to discuss everything related to the patient’s nutrition needs and work on plans to make sure they will be getting the food and drinks they need to stay healthy and support their growing body!
lactation clinic
Breastfeeding and pumping provide lifelong benefits for both mothers and babies, and Dayton Children’s is committed to promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding and lactation. Lactation support is offered in our outpatient lactation clinic, at Dayton Children’s Pediatrics, and in all inpatient areas including the neonatal intensive care unit and pediatric inpatient units.
