Another bole that has gained popularity is Dr. Brown's Natural
Flow Bole (Handi-Craft Company, St. Louis, Mo.). This vented bole
has a patented air flow system that prevents air from entering the milk or formula when a baby sucks and minimizes the vacuum effect that makes suction more difficult. This bole has been recommended for babies who experience problems with colic, spiing up, burping, and gas. Although this bole was not originally designed specifically for babies with cleft lip and palate, some clinicians consider it to be a good option for these babies when it is used in conjunction with a Pigeon one-way flow valve. (This valve is designed to prevent milk in the nipple from flowing back into the bole, so a baby has only to compress the nipple—not suck—to nurse.) Different nipples can be purchased, each providing a different milk flow rate. Clinicians who have used this bole have recommended starting with either the Level 2 nipple (which provides faster milk flow than Level 1) or a Pigeon nipple and the Pigeon valve.
Traditional baby boles were unvented (or partially vented), which resulted in air passing through the nipple into the bole as a baby sucked. A vacuum (negative pressure) was created that required a baby to suck harder over time to express the milk. Vented boles (e.g., Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Bole [(Handi-Craft Company)]) direct air away from the milk and allow a baby to nurse without sucking against negative pressure or swallowing air in the milk.
More recently, the company began marketing the Dr. Brown's Specialty Feeding System (Handi-Craft Company) for babies with complex feeding problems. This bole includes a one-way flow valve, called the Infant-Paced Feeding Valve, that is similar to the Pigeon valve (Fig. 2-4).

General Guidelines for Feeding
1. Amount: Newborns need to take in 2 ounces of milk or formula per each pound of weight in each 24-hour period to gain weight. For example, a 6-pound baby needs to take in 12 ounces a day. Parents have to apportion those ounces among the total number of feedings (variable from infant to infant) each day. The baby's weight gain should be monitored weekly by the pediatrician or by the team nurse until successful weight gain is established.
2. Feeding time: Each feeding should take no more than half an hour. Otherwise, the baby will be expending so much energy in trying to feed that the number of calories spent in the feeding effort will exceed the number of calories taken in by the child. It may be necessary to feed smaller amounts in more frequent feedings.
3. Positioning: The baby should be held in an upright or semiupright position (45+-degree angle) when feeding to reduce regurgitation of the milk or formula through the nose.
4. Nipples: When using a regular nipple (not those that come with the Pigeon, Medela Special Needs, or Dr. Brown's bole), you should select one that is soft and easily compressed (e.g., a Similac preemie nipple [Abbo Laboratories, Lake Bluff, Ill.]). To facilitate the flow of milk with only compression of the nipple, you may need to expand the hole. A cross-cut of approximately 5 mm (made across the tip) is usually sufficient to ensure that compression of the nipple easily expresses milk into the mouth. Be aware, however, that making a hole too large can result in a flow rate that is too fast for the baby to handle. Parents need to learn to place the nipple on the baby's tongue and press down rather than pushing up toward the palate. To prevent the nipple from slipping into the cleft itself, place it against the tongue on the noncleft side of the palate. If the cleft is bilateral, the nipple should be placed on the side with the larger palatine shelf or segment.

5. Burping: Because infants with clefts may take in excessive air as they feed, it is best to burp them frequently (e.g., after every one half ounce of formula).
6. Although babies with clefts cannot suck, it is important that the “suckle” response nevertheless be stimulated and encouraged to develop in the early weeks of life. This is why it is critical that dropper or tube feeding be avoided when possible. Droppers or nasogastric tubes bypass the suckle response. An infant who has been fed in this manner will not develop the suck-swallow feeding paern that will allow him or her to feed normally once the cleft has been repaired. Babies who have been fed through tubes often develop “oral aversion,” meaning that they respond negatively to anything placed in the mouth. Such babies become very difficult to convert to normal feeding paerns.
Introduction of Solid Foods
Introduction of solid foods for babies with cleft lip and palate follows the same schedule used for other babies. Before palatal surgery, food may be pushed into the nose and may be easily cleared as a baby swallows (or by giving the infant a drink of water). Nasal regurgitation of food will likely decrease as the baby becomes more experienced (and thus more adept) at maneuvering food in the mouth (Dailey, 2013). Some surgeons recommend diluting thicker foods (to avoid the problem of foods becoming embedded in the nose) and avoiding spicy foods altogether (to prevent irritation of the nasal mucosa) until after the palatal cleft has been repaired.
What About Breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding is a viable option when a baby is born with an isolated cleft of the lip (because breast tissue frequently occludes the cleft during nursing), as well as in selected children with clefts involving a small portion of the soft palate or submucous clefts. Babies with more extensive clefts involving the hard and soft palate are typically not successful in nursing at the breast. In addition to a weak suck, these babies may demonstrate difficulty latching onto a breast.

Because we have no way to measure the amount of milk a baby is consuming at the breast, it is critical that weight gain be carefully monitored in babies with a cleft palate who are being breastfed. Many clinicians advise mothers to express their milk using a breast pump, bole feed it to their baby, and then put the baby to the breast for non-nutritive suckling to facilitate mother-infant bonding. See
Dailey (2013) for a review of breastfeeding outcomes in babies with
cleft palate.
Feeding Following Surgery
Be aware that although some surgeons may permit a baby to continue nursing from a breast or bole immediately following lip and palate surgery, others advise parents to use special feeders (e.g., syringe feeders) or a cup for a week or two.
When boles are prohibited in the immediate postsurgical period, some teams recommend introducing cup drinking 1 month before surgery so that the baby's postoperative feeding routine will be familiar to both child and parent.
Pacifiers, cups with spouts, and straws are not typically permied at all because their placement in the mouth (or the tension associated with sucking on them) can damage the sutures. Kael et al. (2009) surveyed approximately 800 surgeon members of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association regarding their surgical practices. Of the 288 surgeons who responded, 33% prohibited the use of a bole following palatal surgery and advised the use of cup or syringe feeding instead. Forty-three percent of the surgeons permied their patients to resume an age-appropriate diet once they tolerated clear liquids following surgery, and 98% recommended feeding restrictions on hard foods (e.g., chips, crackers). The length of time the restrictions were imposed varied from 1 to 3 weeks or longer.

Feeding Children With Syndromes
Babies with multiple anomalies involving cleft palate have the same cleft-related feeding problems described earlier, but they may have additional problems as well. The complex nature of their problems necessitates a comprehensive, multidisciplinary feeding assessment. We briefly mention the feeding problems seen in two conditions that are routinely encountered by speech-language pathologists working with cleft palate: Robin sequence and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. The physical and functional problems associated with these disorders are described in greater detail in Chapter 13.
Robin Sequence
Robin sequence is a condition characterized by cleft palate, micrognathia (small lower jaw), and glossoptosis (tongue falling into the airway). When micrognathia is present, the mandible is posteriorly displaced, and the position of the tongue in the oropharynx can obstruct the upper airway. Managing the airway is a priority for these babies, and the type of intervention they receive has implications for feeding. If the glossoptosis is mild, using a side­lying position during feeding may be effective in managing the airway. More severe problems may require surgical treatment, either with a lip-tongue adhesion (suturing the tongue to the lower lip to prevent it from obstructing the airway) or with distraction osteogenesis (lengthening the lower jaw through new bone growth). Some surgeons may recommend a tracheotomy for patients with severe airway obstruction.
In babies with nonsyndromic Robin sequence, the mandible should grow rapidly during the first year of life, thus eventually eliminating the worry about breathing and feeding. However, babies with Robin sequence should be monitored carefully by the team long after they leave the birthing hospital.

Some surgeons routinely place a feeding tube at the time a tracheotomy is performed. This is an unfortunate practice and one that we discourage. Once a stable airway has been provided, there should be no need for a feeding tube.
Initially, the infant may be fed with a nasogastric tube while a treatment plan is being developed. The tube will remain in place until the airway is stable enough for oral feedings. Initially, oral feeding trials for a baby with Robin sequence are carried out by a nurse (or another therapist) who has experience with fragile airways (Chibbaro et al., 2009). Chibbaro et al. described step-by-step instructions on how to initiate an oral feeding trial for babies with Robin sequence, but with the following caution: “It is challenging to introduce an object into the infant's mouth without pushing the tongue more posterior. The more unstable the infant's airway, the less pacifiers and fingers will be tolerated. Feeding is aempted only with great caution, and with a very low flow rate” (p. 161).
Nasogastric feedings are a temporary solution to ensure adequate nutrition before the airway has been stabilized. Long-term management with nasogastric tubes is associated with oral aversion, and so oral feedings are typically introduced as soon as possible once a stable airway has been established.
Even once the airway is stabilized, feeding problems may persist because of the cleft and the micrognathia. A longer, soft nipple may be needed with these babies to ensure proper placement on the tongue and adequate compression (Dailey, 2013). Because these infants employ great effort during feeding and they fatigue easily, oral feedings should be limited to approximately 15 to 20 minutes or less (Cooper-Brown et al., 2008). Other feeding-facilitating techniques that have been linked to improved volume and decreased feeding time for these infants (see Nassar et al., 2006) include the following:
• Sucking a pacifier (to facilitate anterior movement of the tongue)
81

• Lingual massage (to facilitate tongue relaxation and anterior movement)
• Jaw support
• Symmetrical positioning
• Use of a long, soft nipple (with original or enlarged hole depending on flow needed)
• Ensuring nipple placement on the tongue
• Rhythmic movement of the nipple in the oral cavity (to facilitate a rhythmic paern of suction, swallowing, and respiration)
22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (Velocardiofacial Syndrome)
The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a very complex condition with a heterogeneous phenotype. Palatal problems (overt cleft palate, submucous cleft palate, or velopharyngeal inadequacy) are frequently present as are other anomalies that can impact feeding such as pharyngeal hypotonia, congenital cardiac problems, and Robin Sequence to name a few. Early feeding problems and failure to thrive are common in this population. In addition to any palatal problems that may be present, heart problems and hypotonia may contribute to fatigue, prolonged feeding times, and airway collapse. Other problems that have been reported include the following (see
Dailey, 2013 for a review):
• Increased nasopharyngeal regurgitation
• Disorganized suck-swallow-breathe coordination
• Gastroesophageal reflux
• Esophageal dysmotility
• Chronic constipation and slow emptying of the digestive tract
• Difficulty adapting to volume increases and introduction of new food textures
In their discussion of feeding babies with velocardiofacial syndrome (one of the syndromes represented in the 22q11.2 deletion
82
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
https://t.me/medicina_free
syndrome), Shprinen et al. (2008) recommended aggressive treatment of constipation and pointed out that it leads to slow emptying of the digestive tract, which in turn results in a poor appetite (because the baby feels full). Aempts to continue feeding the baby may result in overfeeding.
As you may suspect from this inventory of problems, management of feeding issues in this population is very complex and requires an interdisciplinary team of individuals familiar with this syndrome. Appropriate intervention may require a combination of medical, surgical, and behavioral interventions for some children. If the baby is feeding orally, the feeding suggestions provided earlier for babies with cleft palate will be relevant for many babies with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Parents may need to be more aentive to feeding time in infants with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome because these babies may fatigue more easily. In addition, chin and cheek support may be needed when hypotonia is present (Cooper-Brown
et al., 2008).
For additional information on feeding babies with multiple anomaly syndromes, the reader is referred to Chibbarro et al., (2009),
Cooper-Brown et al. (2008), and Shprinen et al., (2008).

A Final Word
We should point out that although most babies with isolated cleft palate can successfully feed with simple modifications to the feeding process, the trial and error associated with feeding these newborns requires considerable patience. In addition to helping a parent identify the modifications in positioning and the bole and nipple combination that work best for their baby, it is important to acknowledge their frustration and support them through the process until feeding their child becomes more routine. It is also important to let parents know that despite their best efforts there will be times when milk leaks through their child's nose, at least until the palate is repaired. As long as their child is feeding easily and is gaining weight, nasal regurgitation should be viewed as an inconvenience (and may be a continual source of frustration) but not a cause for alarm.
