I *think* this post was a victim of weekend server issues. Sorry to be
redundant if this is a duplicate, but I thought the address was important to
pass around:
Drs. Magee and Denk in Virginia do early cleft repairs. Dr Denk spoke in
Acapulco last year. Their clinic closes cleft palates *in the early days or
weeks*, with excellent results and frequently (usually?) with a rapid
initiation of normal feeding. Lovely to see.
Their website, www.Magee-Denk.com, doesn't do their work justice. There
aren't clear bfing success stories on it, though their nurse said the great
majority go on to bf successfully if mom stays with it through the difficult
stretch up to and immediately after surgery. They see normal feeding within
2-3 weeks of surgery, they say, and babies generally get 1/2 to 2/3 of their
intake normally within a few days post-surgery.
Well worth checking into, and well worth a trip to Virginia to save months
and months of tough slogging!!!
