It has been a very tough few weeks for us, as Gavin had his surgery on June 15, and my Mom passed away from an airplane accident on June 17. I haven't been up to blogging since then because I am really struggling over the loss of my mother. :( But I decided to try to do some blogging today since I think it may be therapeutic for me.<br /><br />My son, Gavin, had an incomplete unilateral cleft lip, but his palate was intact. It was almost complete with the exception of the "Simon Arts band." You had mentioned your difficulty with bottle-feeding as well. We have finally had success with The First Years Breastflow bottles. They are very similar to a mother's breast and require the same suction/compression motion used in breastfeeding. We rarely use the bottle (with pumped breastmilk) since I primarily breastfeed. But once I return to work in August, I will be pumping so my husband can feed Gav during the day.<br /><br />Congrats on the great check-up! Both Sawyer and Riley are absolutely adorable! I am looking forward to following Riley's journey. It's so nice to gain some new cleft friends. Thanks for contacting me! :o)Kelly Rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089285190869167601.post-29209846006579705272009-06-24T11:14:38.524-07:002009-06-24T11:14:38.524-07:00Sounds like she's doing great!

His typical nap is 1.5-2 hours so anything over 2 hours is always exciting-ha!Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709039505744328528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089285190869167601.post-42604571899147737692009-06-24T08:51:08.249-07:002009-06-24T08:51:08.249-07:00Yipee for a good report.
