{Abstract}: Cleft lip and palate is a congenital anomaly occurring at birth. This article describes about the construction of feeding plate which is also used for naso alveolar molding (NAM). The main objective of this treatment is that this procedure minimizes the extent of surgery that should be done on newborns. Two infants with unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate are treated by making feeding plate and which is also used for NAM. Both the infants had favorable results, better in case of unilateral cleft lip patient; we hope that it will minimize the extent of surgery and the resultant scarring.
