Baby Baskets

Provide support to new parents and their child born with a cleft lip and/or palate with a baby basket. Each baby basket contains all of the needed materials for education about cleft lip and palate including treatment choices, care for an infant, and how to feed a child with a cleft. In addition, bottles and supplies help new parents find the appropriate instruments for feeding their child. Each bottle can cost up to $17 and can be quite costly for a family. We top off the basket with a teddy bear that has a cleft made by Gund. These unique bears can only be distributed to children with clefts and/or other cranio-facial differences.

By purchasing a basket for $150, you supply parents with much needed resource materials, bottles for feeding, and a teddy bear for the baby. In addition, each child receiving a basket receives an in-home visit from the Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic Nurse Coordinator to ensure the baby is thriving and to link parents to appropriate services as they begin their journey of caring for a baby with a cleft lip and/or palate.
