The feeder’s design enables the feeder to be activated by tongue and gum pressure, imitating the mechanics involved in breastfeeding, rather than by sucking. A one-way valve separates the nipple from the bottle. Milk cannot flow back into the bottle and is replenished continuously as the baby feeds.

Though babies with a cleft palate can’t breastfeed, moms can feed them breast milk in the bottle. They also can do non-nutritive sucking to further bond with their babies. This is when a baby sucks at the breast for comfort, not for feeding. Limit your baby’s non-nutritive sucking to less than 10 minutes per feed.

Dr. Brown’s Specialty Feeding System uses a bottle with a one-way valve at the base of the nipple to keep the nipple full of milk. It does not require suction. When the baby bites or compresses the nipple, milk flows into their mouth and not back into the bottle.

Babies with a cleft lip, but no cleft palate, can usually breastfeed. With a cleft palate, poor suction can make it very difficult. You can pump your breast milk and feed your baby with a special bottle provided by a feeding specialist or speech therapist.

A cleft is an opening or split in the palate. This cleft can make feeding hard for your baby. Most babies with a cleft of the palate are not able to use standard bottles or solely breast feed because they cannot create the suction needed to draw the milk out of the nipple.

Feeding through the Medela SoftCup Advanced Cup Feeder Gently squeeze the two pads on both sides of the reservoir, to push the liquid in the feeding tip of the reservoir. Touch the infant’s lip with the tip of the reservoir to encourage the infant to open its mouth.

Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht (as a child known as Eugen) was born on 10 February 1898 in Augsburg, Bavaria, the son of Berthold Friedrich Brecht (1869–1939) and his wife Sophie, née Brezing (1871–1920). Brecht’s mother was a devout Protestant and his father a Roman Catholic (who had been persuaded to have a Protestant wedding).

Brecht was drafted into military service in the autumn of 1918, only to be posted back to Augsburg as a medical orderly in a military VD clinic; the war ended a month later. In July 1919, Brecht and Paula Banholzer (who had begun a relationship in 1917) had a son, Frank. In 1920 Brecht’s mother died.

In 1924 Brecht worked with the novelist and playwright Lion Feuchtwanger (whom he had met in 1919) on an adaptation of Christopher Marlowe ‘s Edward II that proved to be a milestone in Brecht’s early theatrical and dramaturgical development.

Brecht developed the combined theory and practice of his “Epic theatre” by synthesizing and extending the experiments of Erwin Piscator and Vsevolod Meyerhold to explore the theatre as a forum for political ideas and the creation of a critical aesthetics of dialectical materialism.
