"We found out about her cleft lip at our 20 week anatomy scan, they were unsure about her palate being affected but more than likely it was. I was devastated I didn’t even know what a cleft was to be honest with you. We didn’t have any family members at all with a cleft. I started joining Facebook groups and researching just what a cleft was and how it affected baby. I was a nervous wreck until I had her on August 24th of last year.
She was born with a unilateral cleft lip and a complete cleft palate. Luckily she didn’t have any trouble with eating with the blue disc in the dr browns bottle. We started using the tapes around a month after she was born, up until surgery which was January 3rd on this year, (she was 4 months old) after surgery she did so so well got to leave the same day. Here in the next month or two she’s going to get her palate repaired as well!"
