For cleft lip/palate modifications, what is a recommended feeding position to prevent reflux?

Cradle hold
Dancers hand hold
Football hold
Sideline position

The correct answer is: Football hold

Football hold is the most recommended feeding position for infants with cleft lip/palate as it allows gravity to help keep the milk from flowing into the nasal cavity and the infant can maintain a secure seal on the nipple. The other options, such as the cradle hold, dancers hand hold, and sideline position, may not provide enough support and can increase the likelihood of milk entering the nasal cavity, causing reflux and discomfort for the infant. Overall, the football hold is the most effective and recommended option for infants with cleft lip/palate during feeding.
