I need individuals (preferably MD's) who are willing to speak to a plastic
surgeon concerning breastfeeding pre and post surgery of a 6 month old's
palate. The baby has been breastfeeding and thriving. Has had numerous ear
infections and "reflux". The cleft palate has just been diagnosed. The
mother ( a speech pathologist) does not want to wean. I called the Cleft Lip
and Palate Foundation and the response was that this is the accepted protocol.
Is there anyone out there who can help? Thank you.
