There is no routine nutrition and dietetic service at The NMH for mothers or babies following discharge however, care is available in the community through your GP and Public Health Nurse.

Community Services may also be able to refer you to community based nutrition and dietetic services if required. Check with your general practitioner (GP) about a referral.

There are also dietitians who see patients privately.  These dietitians are not linked with the Hospital. 

If you would like to arrange an appointment with a private dietitian, there is a list of appropriately qualified dietitians available on the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute website INDI.ie. 

Ensure that any dietitian that you attend is registered with CORU, the professional regulator for dietitians in Ireland.
