hi,
Welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concerns point
The main symptom of laryngomalacia is noisy breathing. noisy breathing persist due to weak muscles of larynx point as the child grows the symptoms of noisy breathing decrease as the muscles of larynx become stronger.
Another important feature is while putting the child on prone position the sound decreases point also there is no respiratory distress in child.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
