Extract from Archives of Disease in Childhood 1988
Three infants were initially fed with conventional teats while the remaining three used the Haberman Feeder from birth. It was found that the infants fed faster and more easily with the feeder. There was less aerography and consequently less vomiting. The weight gain was satisfactory throughout. The parents had no complaints while using the feeder and in those where a conventional teat was used first, the Haberman feeder was preferred.
We believe that the Haberman Feeder is a significant advance in the feeding of infants with cleft palates and should be the preferred feeder rather than conventional means.

Has anyone else tried Mandy Haberman's new feeder? You haven't? Perhaps you should - it has certainly changed our care of problem feeders at Kingston.
It has been designed specifically to help reduce air swallowing and by use of a non-return valve responds to even the weakest sucking efforts. For babies who are unable to suck, or need a little help, it enables Mum to safely assist them.
We have used this teat successfully for a number of babies.
