My friend's baby has a full, deep cleft palate and a cleft lip (never picked
up on ultrasound, of which she had many for 20 wk loss of twin, etc). She is
mostly breastmilk feeding him with specially made bottles - he has *no*
suction now at all - which the Cleft Palate Foundation helped her to locate.
Also, the Breastfeeding Answer Book has a good section on bf a baby with a
cleft.
HOpe this helps.
