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

Breastfeeding at 2am does something to your brain. 🫩

One minute you’re feeding your baby…
and the next minute you’re Googling things like:

“Why does my baby grunt like a tiny old man?”
“Is this cluster feeding or chaos?”
“Can babies smell their mom from across the room?”

Suddenly you’re five tabs deep into newborn behavior and wondering how you ended up reading about whale milk.

Late-night feeds can make normal baby things feel confusing:

The noises.
The unlatching.
The cluster feeding.
The witching hour.

Most of the time these things are completely normal, but when you’re exhausted and scrolling in the dark, it doesn’t always feel that way.

That’s why we’re here.

Sometimes the best support isn’t another late-night Google search…

it’s someone who can actually look at what’s happening and help connect the dots.

And yes — we’ve heard all the 2am questions before.

Be honest…

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve Googled during a late-night feed?

We want to hear it. 👇

Because so many families have been waiting for oral restriction evaluations, Dr. Notestine added two additional clinic days:

🗓 Thursday, March 12
🗓 Thursday, March 19

If you’ve been wondering whether your baby might have tongue, lip, or cheek ties, this is a great opportunity to have things evaluated.

Our exams look beyond appearance — assessing function, tension, and feeding patterns so families can make confident, informed decisions.

✨ Payment plans available
✨ Insurance reimbursement receipts provided

These additional openings will likely fill quickly, so if you’ve been considering an evaluation, this is a good time to reserve a spot.

🗓️To schedule: use the booking link in the bio or call 937-356-3162.

Google can’t diagnose a tongue tie.
And neither can a quick peek.

Tongue tie assessments shouldn’t be rushed.

A true evaluation looks at:
• How your baby feeds
• Sucking, swallowing, and breathing coordination
• Oral function (not just appearance)
• Body tension in the neck, jaw, ribs, and pelvis
• Your pain, ni**le damage, or supply concerns

A tight frenulum doesn’t always mean a release is needed.
And feeding struggles don’t always mean it’s not a tie.

The answer is in how your baby functions —
not just how it looks.

If you’re in the Dayton / Miami Valley area and feeling unsure about what to do next, a comprehensive feeding assessment can give you clarity.

No pressure. No extremes. Just thoughtful, thorough support.

A little throwback to our hot chocolate night last month ☕️

A cozy evening, good conversation, and yes… a little whipped cream quality control beforehand.

We love creating spaces for families to gather outside of appointments. Community matters here.

Every feeding journey comes with surprises.

Sometimes it’s how often babies want to nurse.
Sometimes it’s how emotional it feels.
Sometimes it’s something no one ever mentioned before.

We’d love to hear from you 🤍

What surprised you most about feeding your baby?
Or what questions are you still quietly wondering about?

Drop them in the comments. There’s a good chance someone else is wondering the same thing.

Your experiences might be exactly what another parent needed to see and hear about.

For many babies, drifting off during a feed is completely normal, especially in the early weeks. Nursing is comforting and regulating, not just nourishing.

At the same time, it can be helpful to gently keep track of a few things:

• Is baby actively sucking and swallowing before falling asleep?
• Are feeds consistently very long but baby still seems hungry shortly after?
• Is weight gain steady and diaper output appropriate for their age?
• Does baby seem relaxed and satisfied after most feeds?

If baby is transferring milk well and growing as expected, falling asleep at the breast is often just part of the rhythm of newborn life.

But if feeds feel tiring, inefficient, or leave you wondering whether baby is getting enough, that’s worth paying attention to. You don’t have to wait for things to feel urgent.

If you’re ever unsure, it never hurts to reach out. A simple conversation or feeding assessment can bring clarity and peace of mind.

Trust your instincts. If something feels off, we’re here to help.

When feeding feels hard, most people immediately think:
latch or supply.

But feeding is a full-body experience.

Babies coordinate sucking, swallowing, breathing, and posture all at once.

If there’s tension in the neck, jaw, ribs, or pelvis… it can show up during feeds.

That’s why we assess the whole baby — not just the latch.

If you’re in the Dayton/Miami Valley area and something feels “off,” you’re not overthinking it.

Sometimes small movement changes make a big difference.

If you’re local and want someone to look at the whole picture, we’re here. 🤍

Love looks like support.

And if you’re a woman in the middle of feeding a baby right now…
you deserve to be supported too.

So many moms we meet are strong.
Capable.
Doing everything they can to “figure it out.”

But feeding isn’t meant to be white-knuckled through.

Love looks like:
• Having someone actually watch a full feed
• Getting answers that are specific to you and your baby
• Adjusting together instead of guessing alone
• Being told, “You’re not failing.”

This space was created for you to exhale.
To ask the questions.
To bring the tears if you need to.
To feel steady again.

Our team walks alongside women every day — offering evidence-based guidance, individualized support, and referrals to our in-house specialists when needed.

Because feeding relationships thrive with support.

And you don’t have to carry it alone. 🤍

Share this with a mama who needs a reminder that she deserves support, too.

There’s so much information. So many opinions. So many “shoulds.”

Our approach is simple.

We slow things down.
We listen first.
We look at the whole picture, not just one symptom.
We also, have a little fun.

Feeding support isn’t meant to feel clinical or intimidating. It’s meant to feel steady. Thoughtful. Collaborative.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. You just have to start the conversation.

We’re here when you’re ready.
