Hello,My 1st child was born with a large cleft lip and palate! You are a step ahead of me though, we did not know while I was preg. so this was all a shock,The 1st question I would ask would be when is the earliest that a repair could be done and also how many surgeries will it take,my daughter had hers repaired at 3 weeks the lip and palate both, so the earlier the better! The earlier the repair th4e better speech and better feeding, which alot of surgeons will not do surgery until a certain weight is achieved which is harder than you will think, so I will say the earlier the better, Good Luck! We had a great surgeon, if you would like more info please email me, I would love to hear from you and help in any way I can, I know this is a big thing for your familt to go through so you need someone to talk to!
