Marie,
There have been pediatric respiratory cases where the tongue tie was deemed to have a protective role in the short term and therefore was left untreated for the time being. I think I have a case study or abstract filed away and will try to find it and post. Although I am sure, Catherine or others will post w/ more details shortly!

PS. Feeling happy that my Hirschsprung's case baby is taking oral feeds better and we may have convinced docs that 3oz every 3hr in 30 min is an unreasonable goal...
