She is gaining weight normally. Continue with monitoring weight and feeding under guidance of a pediatrician. Besides, look for immunizations too.

Yes, if breastfeeding is difficult u can usd long nipple bottle. (Medela nipple or Haberman feeder u can use to assist feeding.) Feed thd baby every 2hrly . She is taking enough amount of milk  , burp the baby after every feed.
Next Steps
cleft palate is reparable usually at the age of 10 months, plz consult pediatric surgeon .
