Dear Ellen, I'm in contact with mother who has a baby with cleft palate. He had no surgery. She only manages to feed him with her expressed milk and with special feeding bottle. When baby was 5 months old she tried to breastfeed him and slowly they manage to come back to FULL and successful breastfeeding at his age of 7,5 months. Sorry for my English.
