Lactation Clinic at Miami Valley Hospital

The Lactation Clinic at Miami Valley Hospital, located at 1 Wyoming Street in Dayton, Ohio, is a health institution dedicated to providing support and guidance to new mothers and those new to breastfeeding. Our experienced team is here to help you establish a successful breastfeeding relationship with your newborn, ensuring a stress-free and rewarding experience for both mom and baby.

Research has shown that breastfeeding offers numerous benefits for both mother and child, making it an important aspect of postnatal care. The first few hours after birth are crucial for establishing breastfeeding, with skin-to-skin contact and feeding encouraged within the first 30 to 90 minutes.

Our lactation consultants are available to address any questions or concerns you may have before or after your hospital stay. We want to make sure you feel confident and supported in your breastfeeding journey.

Breastfeeding is a natural and rewarding experience, but it can also present challenges for some mothers. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with a physician or certified nurse midwife, take a virtual tour of our maternity centers, or sign up for childbirth, breastfeeding, and family education classes.
