Breast Milk Feeding Practices and Barriers and Supports Experienced by Mother-Infant Dyads With Cleft Lip and/or Palate.

CONCLUSIONS: A lower percentage of mothers of infants with CL/P reported providing breast milk compared to national estimates of the general population of infants without clefting. Results suggested there are multiple barriers, as well as numerous medical and psychosocial supports that facilitated breast milk feeding success. Implications for care are discussed.
