An evaluation of factors influencing feeding in babies with a cleft palate with and without a cleft lip

Abstract: The objective of this article was to determine the impact of different bottles and teats for feeding babies with a cleft palate (with and without a cleft lip) on weight velocity, feeding behaviour, and maternal self-esteem. A mixed methods study incorporating the use of diaries to record feeding patterns of babies and levels of professional support received was used. Growth was assessed by converting weights into standard deviation scores and using the differences to express weight velocity over a six-week per… Show more

“…17 A recent publication pointed to the association between the complexity of the cleft and the need for evaluation of weight gain, in addition to the follow-up performed by experienced and trained nurses. 19 Inefficient suctioning in infants with cleft is related to a lack of coordination between suction, respiration and swallowing resulting in gagging, fatigue and low ingestion, these etiological factors to malnutrition. 20 The fact that this study is based on previous experiences of mothers, therefore, may be considered a limitation.…”
