Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

1. Cats and Children: 10 Things Every Parent
Should Know
For many parents, the idea of kids and cats together is an absolute natural. For other parents though, it’s a scary
thought that may get the family cat a one-way ticket to the local shelter.
Children and cats can be wonderful companions for each other. My kids have had the most loving, playful,
endearing relationships with the cats in our lives. These relationships didn’t just happen by accident though.
We prepared, educated and set up an environment that was both kid-safe and cat-safe.
As with any companion animal in the family, it’s crucialto use common sense, set up safeguards and create an
environment that provides security for everyone. This isn’t just unique to cats – it applies to any companion
animal you bring into the house where you also have children. The key is to prepare in advance and then
continue to monitor and educate. To get you started, here are 10 things that every parent should know when it
comes to cats and kids living together.
1. Don’t Get Rid of the Cat
Surprised? Don’t be, because many expectant parents panic about having a litter box in the house during
pregnancy after being told by their doctors that if a pregnant woman touches cat feces it will harm the fetus.
Sadly, parents are given inaccurate information and they end up getting rid of the cat in a total panic. Here’s
the truth:there is a disease called toxoplasmosis, caused by the parasite toxoplasma gondii, that can result in
birth abnormalities in the fetus. Just about all warm-blooded animals, including humans are susceptible to this
common parasite but cats are the primary host carriers and shed the oocysts through their feces. The accurate
information is that the oocysts don’t become infective right away after being shed so if the litter box is scooped
twice a day, it will greatly reduce the
2. risk. Pregnant women should have
other family members do the litter box duties to be on the safe side. If you’re pregnant and must do litter box
duty, wear disposable gloves, a face mask and wash your hands afterwards. The most important way to prevent
infection is to practice good hygiene and common sense. Additionally, the risk of toxoplasmosis is actually
greater by the improper handling of raw meat or using the same cutting board for vegetables/fruit that you use
for cutting meat. The best way to prevent toxoplasmosis is to educate all family members about washing hands
and using proper care in the kitchen and when cleaning the litter box. Make sure all fruits and vegetables are
washed before eating, don’t allow your cat to eat raw meat and keep your cat indoors. Infection is probably
more likely to occur with a cat who is allowed outdoors where he can ingest infected prey, dig in infected soil
or come in contact with the feces of an infected cat. Speak to your veterinarian for more information on
toxoplasmosis but please don’t get rid of your cat. Be informed and you’ll discover the risk is very small
compared to the everyday risk you face by handling and/or eating raw or undercooked meat.
3. 2. Prepare Your Cat in Advance
If you’re expecting a baby and you already have a cat, there are many things you can do to help prepare him in
advance for this major life change. Use your “think like a cat” perspective and imagine how confusing it would
be for a cat to suddenly find major changes taking place to his environment (in the form of nursery and baby
furniture) and then all of a sudden there’s another person in the home and this person squeals loudly and smells
unfamiliar.
Prepare your cat by starting the nursery early so you can do it gradually. Get your cat comfortable with sound
and motion-generating baby equipment by having them out long before the baby arrives. You can also take
time to do interactive play sessions in the rooms where objects are that may cause concern for your cat – such
as a baby swing or exersaucer.
The mother-to-be can start wearing baby powder and lotion to help the cat become familiar with the scent.
Get on a schedule of playtime with your cat that you’ll be able to maintain once the baby arrives. Don’t make
the mistake of going overboard on being attentive to your cat now. Cats thrive on a consistent schedule and
familiar routine. Make sure the level of attention to show your cat now will be able to be maintained after the
baby arrives.
If you know any neighbors or friends who have young babies, do some training sessions where a friend visits
with her baby while you do some casual playtime with your cat and help him get familiar with the sight, sound
and smell of babies. Doing it in short increments it will be much less overwhelming as opposed to surprising
him later with a baby in the house 24/7.
3. Create a Cat-Friendly Environment
This really comes down to two aspects: the ability to escape and the ability to have access to kid-free zones.
This will be crucial when the baby becomes mobile. Your cat needs to be able toclimb up to an elevated area
(typically, a cat tree or perch) that is out of reach of baby’s fingers. If your cat has a safe and comfortable
perch where he can watch the household activity without having to be in the center of it, he’ll feel much less
stressed. Cats prefer to escape rather than engage in conflict so if you make sure your cat has multiple avenues
4. to get to elevated, safe areas, it will greatly decrease the chance of an unwanted encounter.
As for kid-free zones, these will be where your cat sleeps, eats and eliminates. Make sure that when your cat is
either napping, chowing down or using thelitter box, he doesn’t have to worry about a toddler suddenly
appearing around the corner. The litter box should be in a room that is off limits to the young child. You can
easily do this by installing a baby gate. You can either cute a hole in the gate just large enough for the cat to
get through or you can raise the raise off the ground enough for kitty to sneak in underneath. Another option is
to place a stool or box on the other side of the gate so the cat can jump the gate and land on the elevated
surface on the other side.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that installing a covered litter box will keep the cat safe. All a covered box
will accomplish is to potentially make your cat feel trapped and confined.
5. 4. Adult Supervision
With babies and young children, make sure you’re always supervising when the child is in a position where
she can come in contact with the cat. The crib, for example, should be a cat-free zone. Actually, when it comes
to infants, nothing should be in the crib – not a blanket, stuffed toy or pillow. A cat may naturally find the crib
a cozy place to nap, especially if he can curlup next to the sleeping infant, so make sure the nursery door
remains closed during naptime or use a crib tent.
As the baby gets older and is enticed by the cat’s tail as he walks by, there’s a chance someone may get hurt.
Supervision is always needed when babies or small children are in the same room with the family pet. Even the
most tolerant animal may react defensively if he feels under attack or experiences sudden, unexpected pain
from having a tail yanked, fistful of hair grabbed or an ear pulled.
5. Monitor Your Cat’s Health
I’m a mother of two children and so I completely understand that there aren’t enough hours in the day to get
everything done. I frequently feel as if I’m just playing catch-up. Parents’ plates are very full but it’s important
to make sure that the cat’s health is monitored and maintained. It can be easy to forget to notice that kitty
didn’t get his flea protection for the month and is now covered in fleas or that he didn’t get his nails trimmed
and one or two nails are growing back around into the paw pad. Even if you have to write notes on the calendar
to remind yourself to brush him, clip nails, or attend to other duties, make sure you continue to pay attention to
his health needs and can act quickly if something unexpected comes up (such as a wound or illness).
Keep in mind that animals who are in pain are more likely to react defensively when touched and they also
may display behavior changes. If your cat appears short-tempered around the child, cries out when touched or
displays aggression, if could be that there is an undetected health issue going on. It could be an undetected
abscess, a bad tooth, a urinary tract problem, a sore paw, you name it. If your normally sweet-tempered and
tolerant cat displays a change in behavior, it’s time for a trip to the veterinary clinic for an exam.
6. Maintain Your Cat’s Normal Routine
Cats don’t like change so to avoid adding extra stress, keep on the normal feeding andplaytime schedule. This
isn’t the time to have your cat become an afterthought when it comes to meals or time spent with you. If you’re
unable to do a play session with the cat, make sure another family member can. Introduce puzzle feeders to
6. your cat as a way to incorporate extra playtime when you’re busy feeding or care for the baby. The cat is an
important member of your family and he deserves to continue to receive the care, love and attention he’s used
to.
7. Teach Children How to Pet and Interact
With the Cat
It’s natural for children to be attracted to and want to grab onto the furry cat. A toddler needs to be taught how
to pet with an open hand. Take the time to teach your children how animals should be handled, how to read
body language (for children age appropriate) so they know when a cat is giving distance-increasing signals,
and when/where cats should be left alone.
8. Teach Compassion and Empathy
To your child, the cat may look like the stuffed animal she plays with, so it’s important to teach about
compassion and understanding how animals have feelings, experience pain, fear, confusion and of course,
love. Dressing the cat up in doll clothes and stuffing him into a stroller may make for a funny picture but it can
be very stressful and frightening for the cat and can lead to fear of being around your children. The sooner you
teach your children about how to love and care for animals compassionately, the more likely they’ll develop a
7. life-long love of these precious companions.
9. The Cat Isn’t a Child’s Responsibility
Many times a child begs the parents for a pet with the promise of being the one who will take full
responsibility. Don’t allow a cat to suffer because the child falls short in her responsibility or is really too
young to know what the animal needs. A cat shouldn’t be left with an emptywater bowlbecause the child
forgot to fill it. Children are also not able to monitor the cat’s health, changes in appetite, litter box habits or
behavior. Give your children age-appropriate duties but be sure to monitor so the cat never suffers from a
child’s forgetfulness or neglect.
10. Model the Behavior You Want to See in
Your Child
If you want your children to be tender with the cat, then be sure you are displaying the very behavior yourself.
Don’t fall in the trap of getting frustrated and lashing out at a cat whoscratches the furniture or jumps on
the counter and then finding yourself upset when your children react the same way. Let your children see how
8. much you love and care for the companion animals in the family and you’ll be paving the way for them to do
the same.
