  "question": "Can a specialty feeding bottle help a baby with a cleft palate gain weight and grow well?",
  "answer": "Dr. Brown's Wide-Neck Specialty Feeding System Bottle/Level 1, 3-Pack, 5oz/150 mL: After the introduction, the infant fed successfully and began gaining weight. An occupational therapist introduced the Dr. Brown's Wide-Neck Specialty Feeding System during the hospital stay. Dr. Brown's Specialty Feeding System, 2 Count: A parent reported their baby with cleft lip and palate and paraesophageal hernia did pretty well with the Dr. Brown's special needs feeder before surgery. A parent blogger reported the Dr. Brown's specialty feeding bottles have a special valve that allows cleft palate babies to drink without needing suction. A parent blog reported their cleft clinic recommended the Dr. Brown's Specialty Feeding System. Dr. Brown's Specialty Feeding System: After three months on Haberman feeders, switching to Dr. Brown's with the valve was reported to work even better than Haberman for one baby. In a forum thread about a baby with low oral muscle tone and sucking issues, the Dr. Brown's bottle with the special valve for cleft palate and similar needs was suggested as something to ask a feeding therapist about.",
