In April 2021 the Children's Airway First Foundation set out on our mission to ensure that every child has access to screening, evaluation, and treatment of all children's airway disorders prior to the age of six. Sleep issues, mouth breathing, an inability to focus or concentrate, lack of energy, and even depression are all symptoms that can be traced back to childhood airway disorders.

A child's dental health begins long before the first appearance of teeth. Starting in the womb, a baby begins to form its jaw and oral cavity. This formation continues after birth and is critical to the child's airway and dental health.

Children's airway disorders can affect how babies and children breathe, eat, sleep, learn, and develop. Many disorders are diagnosable at or before birth; however, many of the signs are missed during the initial birth screening as the APGAR examination does not currently require review for these signs or symptoms.

When they know what to look for, a medical professional can spot an airway issue by the formation of a baby's jaw structure and palate.

We are excited to be celebrating our first anniversary! In honor of our first CAFF-iversary, we want to thank you all for supporting us and helping us in our mission to raise awareness and end the global epidemic of childhood airway disorders.

Children's Airway First Foundation has launched our 2022 Airway Awareness Project promoting our mission of educating parents and medical professionals as we put an end to children's airway disorders.

Our first public issue of Airway First, the Children's Airway First Foundation Monthly Newsletter closed out our inaugural year and laid the groundwork for the areas of focus ahead in the coming year.

As we wrap up 2022, we want to thank you for the tremendous interest in and support of the Children's Airway First Foundation (CAFF)!

While conversations around tongue-ties in children have increased dramatically in recent months, the understanding of what they are and how they should be treated and prevented is still under discussion.

While some might think it cute, snoring in children is not normal and can be a sign of something dangerously wrong with a child's health.
