Hi All After reading and enjoying for a week, I'm getting around to introducing myself... I am a LLLLeader and in 2 years have brought our group from 5 regulars/1 monthly meeting to two meetings a month with an average of 10 at each meeting. Besides my LLL involvement I belong to our local breastfeeding task force, which has been a great networking group. I have a BS in Education and schooling in Trigger Point Myotherapy. I'm also taking a childbirth education course, and do a little labor support. My family consists of my husband Bob who is a technician in the entertainment industry (he's away from home 9 - 10 months, not all at once) and our son Connor who is a very active and talkative 3 1/2 yo! (breastfed for 2 years, is that why he talks so much?) My question tonight...Has anybody worked with a mom with a cleft palate baby, my understanding is the cleft is in the soft palate and not very bad. She is still pumping but no longer trying to put baby to the breast. She has very large breasts and last time I saw her her nipples were rather flat, but would come out. any help, suggestions very welcome, she's not yet ready to give up...but... thanks Mary Madison, trying to keep warm in cold Wisconsin!
