The Lactation Clinic at The Well

12/31/2025

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.

This season, we’re taking a moment to say thank you.

Thank you to the families who trust us during tender moments, the providers we collaborate with, and the community that continues to support our work.

Wishing you a peaceful, gentle Christmas from all of us at The Lactation Clinic. 🎄✨

At The Lactation Clinic at The Well, we offer comprehensive feeding support for families at every stage, including tongue & lip tie care, lactation consultations, pumping support, bottle feeding, and return-to-work transitions.

Our approach is calm, judgment-free, and centered on both baby and parent — because feeding is about more than anatomy. It’s about comfort, confidence, and connection.

There’s something reassuring about watching a provider who knows their craft inside and out. This quick behind-the-scenes look shows Dr. Notestine moving through his routine with the precision, confidence, and ease that only comes from years of experience.

Parents often tell us that seeing this part; the setup, the intentional checks, the flow of his process, helps them feel more at ease long before a release ever begins.

Oral ties can impact so much more than feeding, and having a provider who understands the full picture matters.

What you see here is skill, consistency, and care working together… all in just a few seconds.

We’re so grateful to work alongside providers who care deeply about whole-body postpartum support, and pelvic floor therapist Aubrey Kern, PT, DPT, PRPC, owner of is one of them. 

She often works with postpartum moms navigating tension, discomfort, or birth recovery that can make feeding feel harder, and when families need deeper feeding help, she trusts our team.

We’re honored to support the families she sends our way, both moms and babies, with thorough, compassionate care that looks at the full picture: oral function, latch mechanics, tongue and lip ties, comfort, and tension patterns.

If any of this feels familiar but you’re not sure where to start, send either of us a message. We’re here to help you find the next right step.

Feeding shouldn’t feel like a struggle… for you or your baby. Sometimes the earliest signs of feeding difficulty are subtle, but they matter. A baby who’s working too hard at the breast is often telling us something: “This isn’t as easy as it should be.”

None of these signs mean you’re doing anything wrong.
They simply tell us your baby may need a little support—sometimes with positioning, sometimes with oral function, and sometimes with the latch itself.

At The Lactation Clinic, this is exactly what we help families uncover. Our team can assess feeding, collaborate with Dr. Notestine for oral exams when needed, and connect you with the right support to make feeding smoother and more comfortable for everyone.

If something feels off, or your baby is working harder than they should—reach out.
📞 Send us a message or book a consultation. You don’t have to troubleshoot alone.

We support both nursing and bottle-feeding. Every baby, every parent, and every feeding journey deserves support — and there is no one “right” way to feed your baby.

Our team helps with painful latch, long feeds, clicking, leaking milk, reflux-like symptoms, tension patterns, and oral function challenges no matter how you’re feeding.

Know an expecting momma or a friend who might need this? Tag them or share this post with them. You never know who’s quietly struggling.

We’re located inside The Well in Kettering, Ohio, serving families throughout the Dayton (and beyond!) area.

If you’re not sure where to start, send us a message. We’re here to help you find the next right step for your baby’s feeding journey.

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.
