Expert infant tongue & lip tie care with Dr. Greg Notestine, DDS + lactation consultants in Kettering, OH.

Feeding challenges are rarely just about one thing.

Sometimes it’s a restriction.
Sometimes it’s tension.
Often, it’s how baby’s whole body is working together during feeds.

That’s why we don’t start with labels or jump straight to solutions.
We start with function.

When we assess feeding, we’re looking at how baby moves, breathes, latches, and regulates—not just what things look like on the surface. And support doesn’t always mean a release.

It can include gentle body work, positioning changes, oral motor support, pacing strategies… and when a release is truly needed, we refer directly to our in-house specialist so care stays coordinated and supportive.

The goal is never “Does baby have a tie?”
The goal is: Can baby feed comfortably and efficiently?

If you’re trying to match your baby’s latch to what you see online — pause.

Our lactation clinic team, including an IBCLC, looks at your baby and makes adjustments to find what works best for you.

Different babies. Different latches.
And that’s okay 🤍

If you’re feeling unsure or just want reassurance, support is available — you don’t have to figure this out alone. DM us or visit our website to schedule a consult.

Breastfeeding is real work.
In fact, your body uses up to 25% of its resting energy to make milk.

That means the fatigue you feel isn’t a lack of strength or willpower. It’s your body doing something metabolically demanding, around the clock.

Rest matters. Nourishment matters. Support matters.

If breastfeeding feels heavy some days, it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means your body is working incredibly hard for your baby.

One of the biggest reasons families wait to reach out for lactation support is thinking they need permission first.

Most of the time, you don’t.

You don’t need a referral.
You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need to be struggling “enough.”

If something feels off, if feeding feels harder than expected, or if you just want reassurance, you’re allowed to ask for support.

We’re here to meet you where you are and help guide the next steps, including insurance questions if they come up.

Support should feel accessible, not complicated.

No one comes in excited about an oral tie consult or possible release.
But walking through our pink front door and being met with calm, care, and “we’ve got you” energy?
That part tends to feel pretty good. 💕

Sometimes tongue ties show up as:
• Painful or shallow latch
• Clicking or leaking while feeding
• Long, exhausting feeds
• Baby seeming hungry shortly after feeding
• Gassiness, fussiness, or reflux-like symptoms
• A parent thinking, “This just feels harder than it should.”

A tongue tie can limit how the tongue moves, which may affect feeding comfort and milk transfer.

If this sounds familiar, it doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.

It just means there may be more information worth exploring.

If you’re wondering whether a tongue tie could be playing a role, schedule a consult with our team and Dr. Notestine. We’re here to help you sort through it. Use the link on our website to schedule or call 937-356-3162.

Sometimes all it takes is a little clarity, a listening ear, and the right support to change everything.

If feeding feels harder than you expected, if something feels off, or if you’re simply craving reassurance — you don’t have to carry that alone. Our team is here to help you make sense of what you’re seeing, feeling, and experiencing, without judgment or pressure.

Support can look like answers. It can look like relief. And sometimes it starts with a simple conversation.

We’re here when you’re ready.

As the year comes to a close, we want to remind you of this:

However you fed your baby - breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, combo feeding - you did enough.

As we head into the new year, our hope is simple:
That families feel empowered to ask questions, trust their instincts, and know help is available - without judgment, pressure, or blame.

If feeding was painful, exhausting, or just never felt quite right, there may still be answers worth exploring, including things like tongue or lip ties.

It’s never “too late” to ask questions.

And you don’t have to do it alone.
