12.  Cup Feeding: The change from a bottle to a cup before
            the palate is repaired is recommended. Bottle feeding
            can  cause  the  problem  in  healing  scar  after  the
            surgery. Thicker liquids can be used to make it easier
            to  drink  when  the  baby  is  rst  trying  a  cup.  Begin
            offering a cup for small amounts of liquid beginning at
            6 months to help your baby.








        13.  Long handle spoon: This is used to feed thick liquid. In
            case the surgery is delayed these type of spoons help
            in feeding thick liquid.









       Using these tips along with professional support, parents can
       help  children  with  cleft  lip  and/or  palate  in  feeding  and
       nourishing them with sufcient nutrients. Also, remember the
       surgery for cleft lip can be done when your child is 3 months of
       age and cleft palate surgery between 6 to 12 months of age.
