Andrew was 4 days old when he had his lip repair, and 2 days shy of 7 months for the palate repair. The only advise I can really give is, take it one day at a time. It's rough at first to see them hurting, but it seems to get better quick. Drew is already smiling and laughing. And have help, as much as possible. Someone to give you a break every few hours, so you don't wear yourself out. Also, I got a basket I could put everything he would need when he came home, like meds, formula, bottles, diapers, those kind of things so I could just pick the basket up and go from room to room without looking from everything.
