Hi,
our beautiful new daughter, Nerhys (24/5/00), was born with a complete bilateral cleft. She has most of her hard palate and no cleft in her lip. She does have almost no soft palate though. They say that the think that they will operate around 8 months old. We do not see the specialist team until late in the coming week.
We were just wondering about such things as feeding, speech therapy and the like. We are currently using a squeeze bottle and a cleft teat. We still get a reasonable amount of regurgutation back through her nose and she seems to get hiccups at least every second meal. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Richard Price
