"The Run Around"
Many families come to us after months of feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or stuck in the “try this and see” cycle. Maybe you were told your baby has CMPA without any actual testing, encouraged to switch formulas or bottles like it’s your full‑time job, or pushed into triple feeding with no end in sight. Maybe breastfeeding became too painful to continue, or you were reassured that staying on purées or meltables for far too long was “fine” when something deeper actually needed attention. If you’re tired of the runaround and ready for clear answers, compassionate support, and a plan that actually fits your baby — you’re in the right place.

Tongue and Lip Tie
Many families come to us after being pushed toward a rapid procedure, given vague advice like “just do stretches,” or receiving assessments where no one even looked inside their baby's mouth.
We help you understand what’s really going on. Our comprehensive approach includes:
-
Proper Preparation: We prepare the mouth, the body, and you. If a release is ultimately needed, your baby will have the coordination, strength, and stamina to actually benefit from it.
-
Function Over Frenectomies: We help you avoid the common mistake of focusing solely on the procedure instead of how your baby's mouth actually functions.
-
Comprehensive Evaluations: We provide true, in-depth assessments to build a personalized therapy plan. We look at the whole picture, checking for related issues like torticollis, ear infections, and body tension that are crucial to evaluating oral function.
-
Collaborative Care: We coordinate closely with trusted PTs, OTs, chiropractors, and bodyworkers to ensure your baby receives complete, effective support.

Parents often reach out when feeding feels harder than it should. Searches for lactation providers in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, or hunting for a bottle feeding specialist is hard! Unfortunately, we are often the 2nd or 3rd provider they are seeing. The majority of families come to us with the following :
• Hospitals not having lactation staff upon delivery
• Ongoing feeding challenges despite being told it’s “just a little lip tie”
• Multiple formula changes with continued symptoms or poor weight gain
• Head shaping issues or torticollis
• Confusion around suspected or over‑diagnosed CMPA
• Breastfeeding difficulties such as shallow latch, nipple pain, clicking, or long, inefficient feeds or recurrent mastitis
• Bottle feeding issues, including leaking, collapsing nipples, refusal, or inconsistent intake
• Reflux, gas, or digestive discomfort that doesn’t improve with typical strategies
• Trouble transitioning between breast, bottle, pacifier, or pumping
• Concerns about tongue tie, lip tie, or oral tension affecting feeding
• Pacifier dependence or difficulty soothing without one
• Uncertainty about starting solids or identifying true readiness
• Gagging, coughing, or difficulty managing textures when beginning solids
• Fear of moving past purées or refusal of textured foods therefore reverting back to easier textures or bottle
• Feeding sessions that feel stressful, confusing, or developmentally “off”.
​
Our infant‑feeding team is uniquely qualified because our clinicians are not only IBCLCs and CLCs, but also licensed speech‑language pathologists with advanced training in the anatomy and physiology of swallowing—expertise that includes the ability, under SLP licensure, to interpret diagnostic imaging such as MBS and FEES. While we do not perform these studies at Lingua, this depth of clinical knowledge allows us to assess feeding concerns with a level of precision and safety that goes far beyond traditional lactation support, giving families truly elevated care.
Our team provides evidence‑based, whole‑family support to help you understand what’s going on and create a clear, gentle plan forward.
