Does anyone have anecdotal information about a baby with a cleft PALATE
(with or without cleft lip) who was able to breatfeed exclusively? That
is, without any devices (eg SNS) and without any type of supplementation,
but feeding exclusively at the breast and having appropriate weight gain.
Also, what were the factors that made this possible - on the mother's side
(eg: nipple shape, type of let-down, etc.) and baby's side (eg: anatomy,
etc). Thanks in advance.
