I have now worked with several infants with varying degrees of
laryngomalacia. Head extension to keep the airway open and pacing the
feedings are two key factors in helping these babies cope. Many cases are
mild to moderate, and once parents understand what is happening and that it
is temporary, they learn to help baby cope. Severe situations may require
feeding assistance.

Interestingly, I've flagged some before the pediatrician has because they
presented as feeding problems or concerns.
