ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Oral-cavity feeding movements were analyzed during sucking and used to modify a Hotz-type plate to facilitate sucking in infants with cleft lip and palate.DESIGN:
Sucking movements were analyzed using lateral view cine radiography as three adults fed from a bottle. A Hotz-type plate was then modified to better isolate the oral cavity and to occlude the oral airway. The plate was then utilized in direct breast feeding by 10 babies. OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Sucking rate, amount of milk taken, and duration of use of the plate were assessed.RESULTS:
Wearing this plate, four babies with cleft lip and palate could suck their mother's breast, drinking about 22 g/trial.CONCLUSIONS:
Although supplemental bottle feeding was required to provide enough nourishment, this is the first step to reaching ideal breast feeding situation for these patients.
