Now a days many children are affected with cleft lip and palate due to multifactorial etiology. Among all the problems of cleft lip and palate, the most important is feeding and nutrition to the child. If a child will not be able to take mother milk after birth then definitely it will hamper the immunity and development of the baby and also it will greatly depress the psychology of mother and other family members. The aim of this article is to present a case of cleft lip and palate baby of 5 days old whose mother chief complaint was that I could not feed my child, and how he was rehabilitated with a feeding plate and made easy for the mother to feed her milk.
