You may have to go to tube feeding, so he does not get milk in his nose/lungs. These little guys can get Pneumonia so fast, if they get milk in their lungs. During feeding, they tend to get the milk up their nose and then in the lungs. Check with your vet too - to check the size of the cleft palette and see what would be his value of life - If he would always be sick or have multiple sugeries or not. Some of these guys I hear do okay and some do not. Also I read an article that giving fish oil to female while pregnant can contribute to cleft palettes. Palettes can also be genetic.
