Patient: Cleft palate detected at birth on October 24, 2009, with the main symptom being a cleft soft palate and a portion of a hard palate, not complicated by a cleft lip. The pacifier could be easily pulled out during pacifier feeding, judging that the negative pressure needed for effective sucking could not be generated. The mother cannot contain all of the breast when breastfeeding, i.e., only the nipple is included and not the areola, and the tongue is judged to be unable to effectively wrap around the pacifier while sucking. Also left ear hearing test has not passed so far. Has not been treated yet. Since the child is just 5 days old and already has feeding difficulties, I am very anxious and afraid of adding to the psychological burden of the child’s mother and want to have surgery as soon as possible.

Ma Lian, Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University Oral Hospital: Cleft palate takes 7 to 8 months, during this period patient feeding, if breastfeeding mother should give some external force, if the child’s own sucking power is not enough, if necessary, you can use spoon feeding, hearing problems not passed need not be too anxious, to be cleft palate surgery can have some improvement, or then treatment is also too late.
