At The Well, we get to do this work together.

One space. Many specialties. One shared mission: caring for families with depth, compassion, and real expertise.

We are all honored to collaborate with the providers who see the whole person, not just a symptom(s).

If you’ve ever wondered what true wrap-around support looks like… it’s this.

A community of practitioners who trust each other, refer freely, and show up for families in every season.

✨ Here’s to The Well and the beautiful work we get to do—together.

Happy thanksgiving from us to YOU.

Wondering what support is available to you? You don’t have to do this alone.

At The Lactation Clinic at The Well we offer a network of care so families get the right help, at the right time:

• Gentle bodywork & craniosacral therapy to help babies (and parents) release tension and integrate oral releases

• Postpartum doulas who provide hands-on help, rest, and household support during the newborn weeks

• Thorough oral exams and releases with Dr. Notestine—assessing function (not just appearance) so you can make informed choices

• Ongoing lactation care from a collective of IBCLCs, CLCs, and peer counselors who meet you where you are

• Peer-to-peer donor milk connections for families who need extra supply or temporary support

If any of this resonates, send us a DM or call—let’s talk about what would help your family most right now.
(You don’t have to know the answer—we’ll help you find it.)

Welcome to the consultation room at The Lactation Clinic at The Well — where tiny mouths get big support.

Here, Dr. Notestine brings decades of expertise in diagnosing oral ties and performing gentle, precise releases to help babies feed, thrive, and finally find comfort at the breast or bottle.

If you’ve wondered whether feeding struggles are “just a phase” or something more, this is the safe space where answers (and relief) begin.

✨ Expecting a baby soon? Here are 5 ways to prepare for breastfeeding — and every one of them can make those first weeks so much smoother.
➡️ Share this with a mama who’s preparing for her little one!

1. Learn the basics early
A little education goes a long way. Understanding latch, positioning, and what’s normal vs. what’s not can save you so much stress in the newborn stage. Inside The Lactation Clinic at The Well, we walk you through what to expect — without the overwhelm.

2. Meet with a lactation specialist
Prenatal consults are one of the best ways to set yourself up for success. Our lactation team helps you learn how breastfeeding actually works, what to practice now, and how to prepare for real-life feeding.

3. Create a cozy, functional feeding space
Think soft lighting, a comfortable seat, and a little caddy stocked with everything you’ll reach for: water bottle, burp cloths, ni**le balm, diapers, wipes, and a snack for you.
A calm space = a calmer feeding experience.

4. Know your feeding goals
Exclusively breastfeeding, combo feeding, pumping, or still figuring it out — you get to choose your goals. We’re here to support whatever that looks like for your family and help you feel confident in your plan.

5. Stay flexible (this one matters the most!)
Every baby is different, every body is different, and every feeding journey has twists and turns. Being open to support, troubleshooting, and adjustments can make breastfeeding feel far more doable.
You don’t have to navigate any of it alone — that’s exactly why The Lacation Clinic exists.

✨ Need support?
We offer prenatal consults, newborn feeding help, tongue/lip tie assessments, pumping guidance, ongoing breastfeeding care, and more.

A reminder for your heart today: Your milk has value…

BUT you are priceless.

Feeding can make us feel so measured: in schedules, ounces, minutes, and numbers. But you are not a number. You are a whole human doing the most meaningful work there is.

If no one’s told you lately, you’re doing beautifully.

If you’ve been wondering whether a tongue or lip tie could be the missing piece for your baby’s feeding struggles, we have openings as soon as this Friday, 11/14.

Feeding, sleep, and comfort are all connected — and sometimes the root cause is hiding in plain sight.

Tethered Oral Tissues (often called lip, tongue, or cheek ties) are tight membranes that limit how the tongue and lips move. These restrictions can make feeding tiring for babies and painful for parents.

Some signs to look for:
👶Shallow latch or clicking sounds while nursing
🍼Long or frequent feedings with poor weight gain
😭Gassiness, reflux, or fussiness after feeds
🩹Nipples that look creased or blistered after feeding

At The Lactation Clinic at The Well, we partner with Dr. Greg Notestine, DDS, a national expert in diagnosing and treating these oral ties with a gentle laser procedure. Our team provides full-circle follow-up care — lactation, craniosacral therapy, and ongoing feeding support.

If any of these signs sound familiar, let’s talk.

Feeding shouldn’t feel this hard — and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
If your baby struggles to latch, nurse efficiently, or stay comfortable during feedings, the cause might go deeper than positioning or milk supply. Sometimes, it’s related to oral anatomy — like a lip, tongue, or cheek tie.

At The Lactation Clinic at The Well, we work closely with Dr. Greg Notestine, DDS, an expert in tongue-tie assessment and gentle laser release. Together, we provide seamless, compassionate care — from precise diagnosis to ongoing lactation and craniosacral therapy support.

Families from across the Miami Valley and beyond trust our team to help their babies feed, sleep, and thrive more comfortably.

If you’ve wondered whether a tie could be part of your baby’s feeding challenges, we’re here to help you find answers and healing.

Amid the costumes and candy, here’s to the real magic; the late-night feeds, the baby giggles, and the quiet strength it takes to do it all.

Happy Halloween from The Lactation Clinic.

10/27/2025

Breast milk comes in every shade from blue to yellow, green, and even pink — and most of the time, it’s completely normal.

Color changes can reflect what you eat, how your milk is stored, or even where you are in a feeding. Foremilk may appear bluish, while milk rich in fat often looks creamy yellow. Occasionally, a pink or rusty tint can result from tiny amounts of blood as tissue heals, and green hues are often linked to leafy greens or certain supplements.

Every color tells a story — and while most are harmless variations, any sudden, persistent change (especially black or red milk) is worth checking in about.

At The Lactation Clinic, we believe in evidence-based reassurance. Our goal is to help you understand what’s normal, what’s not, and when to reach out for support.

This information is adapted from La Leche League International, WIC Breastfeeding Support, and Healthline. Always consult your care provider if you notice sudden changes in milk color or texture.
