In re-reading my post this morning, I realize that I may have left the impression that the bunching of the tongue that often occurs with tongue-tie caused laryngomalacia, which is not true. In laryngomalacia, the tone of the larynx is soft and collapses easily on inspiration. What I meant to convey was something that Catherine W-G has noted, that situations with receding chins/micrognathia and/or tongue-tie that place the tongue further back are often associated with laryngomalacia in the babies who are presenting with breastfeeding problems. I am not suggesting that one is necessarily causative of the other, but rather exacerbating.
