<< Anyway, I have a question about positioning
at the breast for a baby w/ a cleft palate.
In her book, Clinical Strategies for Nurses, Marie Biancuzzo states that the
nipple should be pointed toward the opposite side of the mouth from the
cleft. I've also read this in other resources as well. My question is, how
does a mom keep from getting sore nipples? It seems that this would position
is awkward. Any clarifications are appreciated.

I guess what she means is that the baby might have a better shot at acheiving
negative pressure on the side without the cleft, or have something to press
up against to help milk the breast, and that as with any good latch, if it's
deep enough the mom should not get sore?
