Which statement about the Haberman nipple is accurate?

• A. The Haberman nipple is designed to support slow milk flow and back-of-mouth delivery for infants with cleft lip/palate.
• B. The Haberman nipple heats milk.
• C. The Haberman nipple is used for all infants regardless of feeding needs.
• D. The Haberman nipple eliminates the need for burping.

Answer: (A)

The Haberman nipple is designed for babies who need a very controlled, paced feed, such as those with cleft lip/palate. It delivers milk slowly and toward the back of the mouth, which helps the infant coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing and reduces the risk of milk flowing too quickly or into the nasal cavity. This targeted flow supports safer, easier feeding for kids who have difficulty with latching or managing a normal flow. It does not heat the milk, and it isn’t used for every infant—it's specifically for those with feeding challenges like cleft lip/palate. It also doesn’t eliminate the need to burp, since air swallowed during feeds still needs to be released.
