Today we finished our training session on nutrition and feeding in cleft care led by Matilda, a nutritionist at the National Cleft Care Centre. The session focussed on anthropometric measurements in cleft care.

We discussed the importance of anthropometry and how to interpret growth charts. We also explored feeding counselling in cleft care.

Felicia, Smile Train Representative gifted the participants some Smile Train items and we had some of our activities at the clinic. This gave us a chance to observe how mothers are thought to feed their children with cleft.

We really appreciate Smile Train’s support.
