The Lactation Clinic at The Well

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

05/28/2026

A tongue tie assessment isn’t just about the mouth.

When Dr. Notestine evaluates a baby, he’s looking at the bigger picture:

How baby moves.
How baby feeds.
How everything is functioning together.

Because feeding challenges don’t always come from one single thing.

Sometimes we’re connecting dots parents didn’t even realize were connected yet.

The goal isn’t just feeding.

The goal is function. 🤍

If you’ve been feeling like something is “off” but can’t quite explain it, you’re not alone.

That’s often where these conversations start.

Message us with questions or book a consult if you’d like support navigating feeding concerns, tongue ties, or oral function.

If your newborn wants to eat again 20 minutes later, it doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong.

Sometimes it’s cluster feeding. Sometimes it’s a growth spurt.

Sometimes we look deeper at things like milk transfer, latch, body tension, or oral function.

“How often is too often?” is one of the questions we hear most.

Tell us: what surprised you most about newborn feeding?

Feeding issues are rarely caused by just one thing.

And parents shouldn’t have to figure it all out alone.

One of the things families appreciate most at The Lactation Clinic is having a team that works together — not separate appointments that leave you piecing everything together afterward.

Whether support includes lactation care, tongue tie evaluations with Dr. Notestine, feeding assessments, follow-up care, or referrals, our goal is simple:

To look at the full picture and help families feel supported through it.

Because those early postpartum weeks can already feel overwhelming enough.

Having providers who communicate, collaborate, and genuinely care can make a huge difference in a family’s feeding journey.

If feeding has felt harder than expected, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate it alone either.

Some of the heaviest parts of motherhood are the parts no one sees.

The mental checklist.
The feeding questions.
The wondering if baby got enough.
The second-guessing.
The planning, tracking, remembering, adjusting.

The invisible weight of trying to do it all right.

And a lot of moms carry that weight quietly.

Did baby eat enough?
Are they gaining enough?
Am I making the right choices?
Why does this feel harder than I thought it would?

If that sounds familiar, here’s what we want you to know:

The moms who wonder if they’re doing enough
are often doing more than they realize.

Not because worry makes you a good mom.
But because caring deeply takes work.

And motherhood is full of work no one else can measure.

If feeding feels hard right now, you don’t have to carry that alone.

🤍 We’re here when you need support.

Send this to a mama who needs the reminder.

Motherhood is a lot.

And somehow May said,
“What if we made it… more?” 🤪

Field trips.
Teacher gifts.
Sports schedules.
Spirit weeks.
Summer planning.
Appointments.
Pump parts.
Night feeds.

And all the invisible things no one sees.

The remembering.
The planning.
The carrying.

For a lot of moms, Mother’s Day lands right in the middle of survival mode.

So here’s your reminder:

✨You do not have to earn rest.
✨You do not have to prove your worth.
✨And you were never meant to carry motherhood alone.

At The Lactation Clinic at The Well, we believe support shouldn’t start when you’re already overwhelmed.

It should be built in.🤍

Tag a mom who needs this today.
Or send it to the one carrying more than she lets on.

Not sure what happens at a lactation appointment?
That uncertainty keeps a lot of families from reaching out.

And honestly? We get it.

When feeding feels hard, it’s easy to wonder:

Is this normal?
Am I overthinking it?
Should I wait and see?

At your first visit, we’re not just watching one feeding and sending you on your way.

We start by listening—your concerns, your goals, your story.

Then we look at the full picture:
feeding patterns, latch, oral function, body tension, movement, and the pieces that may be affecting it all.

Because sometimes the issue isn’t as simple as “just keep trying.”

And if tongue tie is part of the picture?
We assess function first—and when a release is needed, our in-house specialist, Dr. Notestine, is part of that next step.

No bouncing around.
No piecing it together alone.

Just clear answers, real support, and a plan that makes sense for your baby.

If something feels off, trust that feeling.
You don’t have to wait until feeding feels impossible to get support.

Book a consult or send us a message; we’re here to help.

A tongue tie assessment should never be just a quick look.

Because the question isn’t:
“Do we see tissue?”

It’s:
What is that tissue doing?

✅Can baby lift?
✅Extend?
✅Latch deeply?
✅Transfer milk well?
✅Compensate through the jaw, neck, or body?

That’s why our evaluations look deeper.

At The Lactation Clinic, we assess the whole picture — feeding, function, tension, and how baby is actually using their mouth.

And when a release is needed?
We have in-house collaboration with Dr. Notestine to make that process seamless.

Because guessing helps no one.
Getting answers changes everything.

DM us or book an assessment if feeding feels harder than it should.

Feeding support isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Every baby is different.
Every parent is different.
And feeding challenges rarely come from just one place.

That’s why our care looks at the full picture—
not just latch, not just supply, not just one moment in time.

Whether you’re preparing, struggling, adjusting, or just feeling unsure… there’s support here for you.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re in the Dayton / Miami Valley area, we’re here when you’re ready. 🤍

Feeding support shouldn’t feel confusing, rushed, or one-size-fits-all.

At The Lactation Clinic, it’s not just one person, it’s a team.

A team that looks at the full picture.
A team that listens before jumping to solutions.
A team that knows feeding challenges are rarely just about feeding.

From lactation support to oral function to whole-body movement, we work together to connect the dots and support both baby and parent.

Because when something feels off… you deserve more than “it’s fine.”

You deserve answers.
You deserve support.
You deserve a plan that actually makes sense.

If you’re in the Dayton / Miami Valley area and feeding hasn’t felt easy, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

You can learn more about our team or book a consult whenever you’re ready. We're here. https://www.thewellforwellness.com/tongue-tie-treatment

Most feeding struggles aren’t “just a phase.”

“Just keep feeding.”
“They’ll grow out of it.”

We hear this all the time.

But when a baby is struggling to eat, sleep, or stay settled…
it’s worth asking why.

Tongue ties aren’t always obvious.
And a quick check doesn’t tell you how things are actually functioning.

That’s where this work comes in.

Dr. Notestine has been doing this for a long time—
long before it became widely talked about.

(We joke he’s the OG… but it’s true.)

He’s helped a lot of families understand
what’s really going on
and what can actually help.

When a restriction is properly addressed,
we often see changes quickly—
better feeds, better sleep, less stress.

If something feels off,
it’s worth looking into.

We’re here if you need answers.

Why are we all out here preparing for birth…
but winging feeding?

Cue the 2am searches:
“Is this normal?”
“Why does this hurt?”
“Am I doing this right?”

You don’t have to figure it out in real time.

Prenatal lactation visits help you feel more prepared, more confident, and way less overwhelmed before baby even arrives.

Because feeding support shouldn’t start after things feel hard.

If you’re pregnant in the Dayton area and thinking about breastfeeding, we’re here. Schedule today. https://www.thewellforwellness.com/pregnancy-birth-early-parenting
