Children born with cleft palate ( and lip) are not able to take breast feed and as a result become malnourished and often die.
I had an opportunity today to discuss and counsel several mothers of cleft children about feeding their babies, type of milk, methods of feeding, hygiene and other precaution.
They all came with anxiety and worries and left smiling and with confidence- they were empowered to take care of their babies.
We also supported nutrition of many cleft children who could not afford formula milk, utensils and feeding bottles.
