Congrats! My advice is enjoy your baby and not worry so much about the diagnosis. Also be proactive in her treatment -- even if there aren't any symptoms, it's important to have good lung care (CPT), digestive enzymes if need be... Some cfers have reflux issues, too.
Also, pregistimil is nasty, nasty tasting formula -- it tastes like vomit and how roadkill smells. Encourage you to use regular formula or breast feed instead if it's suggested <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just ENJOY <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> she is a gift. I would say to start pt and enzymes asap. Conor had very few lung problems in the begining but had awful belly ache and was like a baby with colic. We did not know about the cf then. It got a lot better after we started with the enzymes.It was fun too ( although only looking back) the places apple sauce ended up! he took to the spoon very well though and by 2 months was an old hand at it.
It has been an adventure but one that has been well worth it, and don't think you ever know all the ins and outs, I know I still have a lot to learn.
The only reason I think it is easier to begin the pt now is then they are so used to it ( by the time they know how to say no ! ) that its just like all the other routine they have.
Just have fun, enjoy, cherish every moment( they still get too big and bossy waaay tooo soooon) and try not to spoil her too much !!!!!, never be afraid to ask for help and have a nice box of tissues handy, we have all been there and I have probably used half the rain forest by now lol
You have sent me all clucky now remembering Conor as a new born!
