Hey Britney. I don't believe that i have met you yet. How old is your daughter? I take it from what you have said here that she is partially tube fed and bottle fed. What type of bottle does she use? Does she have reflux or on any medications for reflux? My daughter Kate began to have problems with reflux when she was about 5-6weeks old. It was after her tongue lip adhesion. since she was breathing better, she started eating better. I guess that the increase in volume brought on the reflux. She screamed through every feeding for more than two weeks before I figured out the problem. I was begining to get scared that she would quit eating all together. We got her on reflux meds and changed her formula. It was like someone flipped a switch...she became a different baby. She still had her fussy times, but the non stop cry fest ended. You can email me or call me if you want any advice on the feeding. Cleft babies are some of the worst refluxers out there and are most of the time "silent". Anyways....let me know how I can help you.
