Tips for feeding a baby with a cleft palate. 1  Observe your infant for a period of sucking, followed by a swallow and a brief period of breathing. Do not squeeze the bottle during the swallowing or breathing phase.  Keep the bottle tilted so the nipple is always full of milk.
However, some general tips are: 1  Feed your baby in a calm quiet environment. 2  Seat your baby fairly upright for bottle feeding. 3  If your baby also has a cleft lip, avoid placing the teat into the cleft.  Once your baby starts sucking, squeeze the bottle gently to deliver milk into the mouth.
