Of course, it's completely up to you, and there's no right or wrong answer in a situation like this. No one can say "this is what you should do." You have to do what you feel is right for her. Open wounds should be closed, I think, but trying to "fix" her mouth is pointless until she is fully developed.
When I was feeding Z, I really had to squeeze the puppy bottle I used to administer the formula. he never sucked, only swallowed. And, like Emma and Tia, he never had his mother's milk.
So her not being able to suck is not a problem, and if she can't swallow, you're going to have to resort to tubing.
