Suggested Pre-Referral Evaluation and Management Guidelines Mild laryngomalacia may present in a child without feeding problems or retraction or interference with growth or motor activities may be managed with observation and parental education. The growth curve should be followed carefully. If the child is `falling¿ off of the curve then a referral should be made.
