I am a Nursing Student at Ivy Tech. My research on breastfeeding babies
with cleft palate tells me that this method of feeding is not usually sucessful
and insufficient in providing the nutrients that babies need. There is always
the option of pumping the breast milk however then you miss out on the
bonding associated with breastfeeding. What are the ways around this barrier
and what tips would you give these mothers that are determined to
breastfeed?
Thank you for your time,
Jamie Grimaldi
