Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate

My son is 15 months old, he was born with a CL and CP. If anyone wants any support or need questions answered, you may definitely reach out to me. I'm here to help other families in need of support and to inform if need be. I've started a journey blog about my son and what we've gone through, as well as what is coming. I'm hoping it may help many of you that are curious or that may want an in-depth story like ours, to inform or answer questions. http://handsomeCleft.blogspot.com And remember, you may reach out to me with any questions. I'm more than happy to help.

He is adorable! I was a CL and CP baby. If you have any questions about what he could be going through in the future feel free to ask  

I don't see how this is spam? She is trying to reach out to other mommies of kids with the CL &CP.

I thought the same thing. its because of the link on here.. but still i dont see the big deal about it..

Aw he's a little darling!

I *think* people did it because she isnt an established member yet and its a link to her own blog that shes trying to promote. Which people have been flagged for in the past because it takes traffic from the site and not to one that has factual information.

I'm not saying it isnt beneficial or helpful though I'm just trying to explain why it could have been.

'm just here to help others. I'm not here to promote the blog, it's just that the blog is where I've actually been telling my story, which may help others be more at ease about what they may be going through. Cleft Lip and Palate wasn't in my family, nor my husbands, so I reached through google for answers, which gave false information. So, that's why I wanted to give my first-hand experiences and knowledge to others that may be going through the same

Thanks so much! It's always nice to speak to others that know about CL CP, I met a friend online through a Cleft website, she lives in a different country, but we're like best friends. We were pregnant with Cleft babies at the same time, and we still speak every week about what we're going through. It's the best feeling ever!

I see what you're saying, and it's alright..When it comes to Clefts, I feel like there's not enough information out there, and when I was pregnant, I turned to the internet and became nervous. It's hard to find factual information from google, and I just hope my experiences help others, that's all

I understand, I hope it does help since the info out there is so limited. Good luck with everything  

He is amazing he looks so good. Our son recently went through the lip repair. It was nice to hear someone else story. My son was born with cl and cp but also a slight facial cleft. which requires cranial surgery. I think he is the most amazing little thing ever.I did the same thing and scared my self by using google. The images were all worse cases. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

My daughter is a month old and was born with a cleft palate and retracted jaw. We were not lucky to catch any of this in the ultrasounds and were shocked and scared when she was born as nurses immediately took her away from me. I feel like I'm run down by doctor visits every week to check her weight along with specialty visits to Children's of Atlanta. I'm thankful for my husband for looking after our son while I run around the world getting these things done. The worst it seems with this is just the lack of sleep I'm getting worrying about everything and trying to get it in order.
