Cleft palate

Okay, so I just accepted placement of a group of 4 little ones. They're very close in age--4, 2, 1, and 2 mos! The 1 yr old has a partially repaired cleft palate. His surgery to close the fissure in the roof of his mouth is in January. He appears to be fine, but he does snork a bunch!

Does anyone here have any advice to offer on feeding and speech issues? Right now, he's very small--maybe 15 lbs, crawls and cruises, refuses to eat and cries a great deal.

I'm open to suggestions!
