Ensuring Proper Nutrition for Infants with Cleft Lip and Palate

Cleft lip and palate are common congenital conditions that can make feeding difficult, leading to potential nutritional challenges. Infants may struggle to form a proper seal during feeding, resulting in poor nutrient intake and affecting growth.

Key Steps in Assessment:

1. Growth Monitoring: Regularly track weight, length, and head circumference.
2. Feeding Evaluation: Assess the infant’s latch and any signs of distress during feeding.
3. Dietary Review: Ensure the baby’s feeding schedule and intake meet nutritional needs.
4. Nutritional Support: Specialized formulas or supplements may be needed.


Proactive nutritional assessment and tailored feeding strategies are essential to help infants with cleft lip and palate thrive.
