I am due in mid Feb but the 20 wk scan shows my baby has a cleft lip and there is the risk of cleft palate. The cleft nurse has said this will cause problems with breastfeeding and that a plate (used to block the cleft while feeding) won't really help - Does it make it impossible to BF or just difficult to do it without supplementing with a bottle - Does anyone have any experience of this?
