Thanks so much. My Little E has a single cleft that is partially repaired. According to the Mermaid, big sis, mom mostly gave him bottles because the food got stuck in his fissure and made it bleed. The end result is a 1 yr old who weighs less than 20 lbs. After much trial and error, he's eating smushed up table food. He's a much happier baby. Today was the first day I saw anything come out of his nose--milk, and he thought it was funny. Boys. Go figure.

First visit is tomorrow and I'll see his CPS cw. I'll ask about a feeding clinic. We're on tap for early childhood intervention, but the 14 day hearing hasn't happened yet and everything is apparently in limbo.

Again, thanks for the ideas.
