Most infants with cleft palate suckle unproductively and require feeding by artificial means. Most also have unremitting otitis media accompanied by (usually) nonpurulent middle-ear effusion, a complication generally attributed to impaired eustachian tube ventilatory function. We observed two infants with cleft palate in whom one or both ears appeared effusion-free on more than one occasion, and who also were receiving or previously had received breast milk feedings. This prompted us to analyze the relation between middle-ear status and feeding mode in a large series of infants with cleft palate. Our objective was to determine whether in these infants the receipt of breast milk mitigated the otherwise virtually invariable development and continued presence of otitis media.
