In our January Tiny Talk series, Manny and Alicia shed light on the vital topic of feeding challenges in babies born with cleft lip and/or palate. Their discussion highlighted the common need for NG tube feeding and the struggles with bottle feeding due to the inability to create enough suction. One family's story of navigating these challenges, yet finding ways to adapt and succeed, provides both insight and hope. This session not only raises awareness but also offers support to those facing similar hurdles. #CleftLipAwareness #FeedingChallenges #TinyTalks #IknownewbornsTinyTalk #SupportiveCommunity

Each feeding session for a baby typically lasts between 20 to 40 minutes. However, this can vary depending on the baby's age, feeding method, and individual needs. Newborns may take longer as they learn to latch and feed effectively, while older babies may be more efficient. It's important to let your baby feed until they seem satisfied. #PMBJP #WBW2024 #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #healthcare #JanAushadhi
