My cleftbaby had no noticable signs on the outside. her's is in her "solf palet" which is in the rear of her mouth. It has not been repaired, she still has it and will be 2 in a few months.
I didn't tube feed. I was scared so I did the bottle. Tia only had the formula that I posted earlier, nothing else.
I would try and get a good look in there with a flash light too. It will be very hard but you need to see what your dealing with.
Have you fed him yet at all?
Another thing too. Weigh him alot. I used a digital scale and weighed in grams as you can tell easier if they are losing faster with grams and gaining. Tia lost and gained...it was a battle.
Any help you need, let me know! |
