Feeding infants with cleft lip, cleft palate, or cleft lip and palate

S K Clarren et al. Cleft Palate J. 1987 Jul.

Abstract

In assessing 143 infants with cleft lip and palate, we found feeding problems to vary with the patients' anatomic lesion. Effective feeding techniques were identified by first assessing the infant's ability to generate negative intraoral pressure and to move the tongue against the nipple and then by matching these deficits to appropriate feeding devices.
