Nelle! My little Liam has a full head of hair (will post pics soon, I promise) and I just love smelling it! Maybe I'm just strange

It depends on the surgeon, but most cleft palates are operated on between 9-12 months of age. I haven't attended my first appointment yet with the 'cleft clinic' so I'm still a bit 'green' at this stuff yet!

Shoegal - I've already found PurpleMama and have begun chatting with her about our clefty babies! But thanks for the info!

I must say, expressing mustn't be as hard on your boobies because I've had no trouble at all! Sometimes I get *****ling feelings in my nipples when it's time to express, but other than that, no trouble at all! Having said that, I've only been at this around a week!

Can babies get hayfever? My little Liam sneezes a lot... but that might be to do with the cleft palate too - dunno!
