Mom’s Place, A Breast Milk Center 694-5338

Many parents know that breastfeeding is the healthiest way to feed their baby. Driscoll Children’s Hospital encourages all mothers who want to breastfeed to do so … and “Mom’s Place,” a fully staffed, on-site lactation center, helps accomplish this goal. The new facility is a comfortable and private place to pump and store breast milk, and serves mothers of pre-mature babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit or mothers of young patients throughout the entire hospital. A lactation specialist is also on staff and ready to assist with any questions or concerns that you may have about breastfeeding.

Teen Room 694-5048

Driscoll’s Child Life Specialists know that being a teenager in the hospital is much different than when a small child is hospitalized. Teenagers need a place of their own to hang out, watch television, play video games, or read books. The Driscoll Teen Room is just the place to do this. Located on the 4th floor, and open various hours throughout the day, the Teen Room can be a place of respite for the hospitalized teen. Please check with your nurse for the exact hours of operation. Call the Child Life department for the exact hours of operation.
