| Abstract: | Babies with cleft lip and palate which is a common craniofacial deformity suffer from feeding problem which interfere with their growth and development and render the subsequent corrective surgery and also endure their daily suffering during the feeding time. This thesis reports the design of a new bottle feed to overcome this problem. Also a clinical study was preformed to study the patterns of baby feed in cleft lip and palate babies to support the use of the bottle feeding for this group of babies. |
