Insights
Cleft lip and palate are common congenital malformations. This article provides guidance for healthcare professionals on breastfeeding and infant nutrition for affected newborns.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Obstetrics
- Congenital Malformations
Context:
- Cleft lip and palate (CLP) represent a significant and increasing incidence of congenital malformations.
- Gynaecologists and healthcare providers require updated information on CLP and its impact on infant nutrition.
Purpose:
- To inform healthcare professionals about cleft lip and palate anomalies.
- To provide practical strategies for breastfeeding and human milk nutrition in infants with CLP.
Summary:
- This article addresses the growing concern of cleft lip and palate (CLP) as a common congenital anomaly.
- It emphasizes the importance of informing gynaecologists about CLP and its nutritional implications for affected infants.
- Guidance on breastfeeding and human milk nutrition for infants with CLP is presented.
Impact:
- Improved nutritional support for infants with cleft lip and palate.
- Enhanced knowledge for healthcare providers managing CLP cases.
- Better outcomes for breastfeeding and infant development in CLP populations.
Abstract:
Cleft lip and palate are the second most congenital malformations--with increasing incidence. Therefore it is even more important for the involved gynaecologist to be informed about the anomaly itself as well as its consequences according to children's nutrition. The aim of this article is to focus on this problem and to present help for breastfeeding and nutrition with human milk.

00:55Parental Care
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.
01:30Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

01:22Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...
01:30Development of Human Microbiota
The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from the skin...
01:28Development of the Oral Microbiota
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
