So our first paed surgeon visit is done. Mr J's cleft is in his soft palate & goes into his hard palate. Breastfeeding will continue to be a challenge & we probably won't be able to bf full time. The speech therapist has given us some bottles to try so we will hopefully be able to move on from syringes. Plus side to this is Daddy can do some feeds. Syringe feeding was a struggle for him as his fingers are too big for Mr J's mouth :/
It feels like we have gotten a lot of information, but there is still so much to learn. I am so thankful to be where we are, with a dedicated cleft team, able to see everyone at once in one place. That makes it a hell of a lot easier at least.
Another hearing test fail today too. So waiting to get an appointment with audiology. Hopefully its nothing serious, just some fluid & 'easily fixed'.
In all, I'm feeling much better after our appointments today. And Mr J's first bottle feed has been a success, yay!
