I have a 3 months old daughter with cleft lips and palate and
she is due for her cleft lips surgery in early April. Doctor's
advise was she has to be spoon fed for a minimum of 3 weeks after
her surgery. She is currently fed by bottle with an orthodontic
nipple and is eating well with this arrangement. I have tried
spoon feeding her the last couple of days and she refuses to eat
much b'cos she's doesn't like the spoon and feels frustrated! If
anyone should know of any feeding apparatus (preferable in nipple
form and can be attached to a baby bottle), kindly post a reply
or email me. I would also welcome suggestions from anyone who can
share their experiences with me in a similar predicament.
Thank you.
