Breastfeeding and Cleft Lip-Palate Dear Amy,
Here are some great cleft lip and palate links and publications you can order
online as they relate to breastfeeding and human lactation to list on your
cleft links page. Please put a note that it's essential that the dental team
collaborate with a lactation professional (like myself!) when caring for
breastfeeding infants with cleft lip/palate. We all need to promote the
preventative value of feeding breastmilk to these children whenever possible!
Sincerely,
Maurenne Griese, RNC, BSN
