Introduction: Cleft lip/palate causes various issues, feeding being the major concern for parents. WHO recommends breast feeding for 6 months. The cleft population is traditionally thought to be unable to breastfeed due to poor suckling. To deal with issues like inadequate gain in weight of infant due to feeding issues, trying out different feeding strategies and supplementation of calories through formula feeding, infants and mother often require assistance and guidance. Though the importance of human milk is well known, still breastfeeding is often discouraged for infants with cleft lip and palate. So, the researchers felt a need to explore breastfeeding practices among mothers of infants with cleft lip and /or palate. Materials and Methods: A retrospective telephone survey design was used to collect information from mothers of children with cleft operated at tertiary care hospital, Uttarakhand. All the mothers of children with cleft who visited tertiary care centre, Uttara Khand over the past 3 years (April 2017 to March 2020) were included in the study. The total Enumerative technique was used and 122 mothers were interviewed. A structured questionnaire related to breastfeeding of the infant was used. Results and Conclusion: The study yielded quite significant insights into breastfeeding practices in infants with a cleft. Only 15 infants received exclusively expressed breastmilk for 6 months. Only 21% of mothers received encouragement for breastfeedinging. These findings can be utilised to support, counsel and encourage breastfeeding children with cleft.
