Cathy,

  This makes so much sense!  I am always a little concerned when I get a
long nippled mom with oversupply and a tongue tie baby.  Yes, things seem
fine with intake, but what about physical repercussions for the child later?
Sleep apnea, enuresis, GERD, speech issues and orthodontia can all be
serious issues.  Isn't it amazing how one slight change in the body can
affect so many others?

The connection with bedwetting is one that Dr. Brian Palmer taught me 
about - tt --- narrow palate ---- sleep apnea ---- brief unconsciousness 
--- sphincter relaxation. He actually faxed me some articles that showed 
that enuresis (bedwetting) stopped after maxillary expansion in children.
