Question Title

* 1. What are the benefits of prenatal counseling for expectant caregivers for infants with orofacial clefting?

Improves confidence

Decreases length of stay

Reduces stress and anxiety

All of the above

Question Title

* 2. Why would an infant with an unrepaired cleft palate have difficulty with breastfeeding?

Negative pressure cannot be generated intraorally when an infant has an unrepaired cleft palate; thus, preventing adequate suction to occur to stimulate milk from the breast.

Results in excessive anterior spillage and poor bolus control control due to unrepaired cleft lip and cleft palate.

An infant with a cleft palate can breastfeed at same rates as his typical palate peers.
