Our plastic surgeons connected with the cleft clinic are not "obturator
friendly" but there is a pediatric dentistry group whom I talked to about
my 4 week old client and they have made them and are quite willing to work
with this family.  It hasn't happened yet and I'll let you know how it
turns out.

I don't want this family to go the non-suckling route that the other family
(4 month old) went.
