Babies with cleft lip may have feeding difficulties. Breast or bottle-feeding is possible. We have staff in our nurseries, including lactation consultants, who will address feeding challenges with you if they occur. There are brochures on clefting and other resources available from the Cleft Palate Foundation: 1.800.24.CLEFT.
