Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 2015;24(4):756-8. doi: 10.6133/apjcn.2015.24.4.16.

Abstract

For infants with high arched palate, feeding is one of the most immediate challenges faced by parents and caretakers. General suggestions for feeding in infants with cleft palate may be adapted to infants with high arched palate. These include oral feeding facilitation techniques and special feeding tools. Here we present a newborn with a high arched palate and serious feeding problems who was fed easily by a large size and a large hole nipple, ordinarily used for infants older than 6 months, instead of specialized feeding equipment.

对于高腭弓婴儿,喂养是父母和被照顾婴儿面临的最直接挑战。对腭裂婴儿喂 养的一般建议或许适用于高腭弓婴儿。这些措施包括口服喂养促进技术和特殊 的喂养工具。这里,我们提出了一个严重高腭弓新生儿的喂养问题,用大尺寸 和大孔奶嘴很容易喂养,通常用来代替专门的喂养设备喂养年龄在6 个月以上 的婴儿。.
