Cleft palate

Vita har isoleret ganespalte, derfor bruger vi speciel sutteflasker som er bløde så vi kan trykke mælken ud. Når man har et hul i ganen kan man ikke danne vakuum (undertryk) så man kan suge mælk ud af bryst eller flaske. Vita har altid brugt lang tid på at spise, om det er spalten skyld tror jeg nu ikke. Vi har i 5 måneder trænet skemad for Vita, hendes tunge arbejder dog frem i stedet for tilbage. Så på en god dag tager hun måske 3 mundfulde ind. Vi bruger 5 timer om dagen på spisning med Vita. Dette omfatter både skemadstræning og flaskespisning, men det er en lykken at se tøsen når hun en sjælden gang åbner munden og vil have skeen ind. Dette er sket 2 gange, men det er alt træningen værd. Det fylder meget i vores hverdag, men jeg vil aldrig snyde Vita for oplevelsen af at smage noget nyt. Det tager tid, men jeg tror på at en dag spiser hun med et glimt i øjet, fordi hun synes det smager godt. Om hun så kun kommer til at spise blød kost, blendet til ukendelighed det må tiden vise!! Nå, ja fik jeg sagt hun spiser vanille is (yogapiger);) Da jeg var gravid havde jeg aldrig troet mit barn skulle spise is i en alder af 9 mdr. Men hvis det er det som hun vil spise, så hun kan træne tungen til at arbejde rigtigt så servere vi det ;) Det skal lige siges det er i små mængder. Ellers lever Vita af Infantrini, som hun stor trives på;) ############################################################## Vita has isolated cleft palate, therefore, we use special feeding bottles which are soft so we can press the milk out. When you have a hole in the roof of the mouth, you can not form the vacuum, in order to suck milk from the breast or bottle. Vita has always spent a lot of time to eat, whether it is gap sake, I don`t think. We have in 5 months trained spoon with Vita, her heavy work, however, appear instead of the back. So on a good day, she may take 3 mouthfuls. We spend 5 hours a day eating with her. This includes both spoon and bottle eating, but it is a happiness to see the girl when she occasionally opens her mouth and want spoon into. This has happened 2 times, but that's all the training worthwhile. It is very important in our daily lives, but I will never cheat Vita for the experience of tasting something new. It takes time, but I believe that one day she eat with a twinkle in her eye, because she thinks it tastes good. If she only will eat soft food, time will tell! Well, yes, I said she eats vanilla ice cream ;) When I was pregnant, I had never thought my child would eat ice cream at the age of 9 months But if that is what she will eat, so she can work out tongue to work correctly so we serve it ;) it must be said it is in small quantities. Otherwise living Vita of Infantrini, as she grow into a big girl;)
