When an infant has a cleft palate, it impacts the infant’s ability to efficiently extract milk from the breast and/or traditional bottle. Infants with a cleft palate typically need to use an adaptive bottle that is designed to help infants extract and transfer the milk.

This easy-to-read handout explains the most commonly types of bottles used for cleft palate and how they differ.

This handout is not intended to replace medical supervision. For any questions about which specialty bottle you should use, please refer to a speech-language pathologist for guidance.
