When Dr. Morgan’s fourth baby was just a few weeks old and started making a sometimes grunty sometimes squeaky noise with each inhale – She didn’t know what to think, and she certainly didn’t expect the diagnosis her baby would ultimately get. Laryngomalacia is a term that we all became intimately familiar with, and it basically translates to soft or floppy vocal cords. In this episode, Dr. Morgan takes you through all of the information you need to know about laryngomalacia, from the physiology to the symptoms to the levels of severity, and then treatment. She details everything that she can remember from that time and how it affected her daughter’s sleeping, feeding, and thus weight gain – significantly. If you’re listening to this episode, it might be because you’re going through it – and for that, Dr. Morgan gives a big hug.
