Cleft lip and cleft palate occur when tissues in the baby's face and mouth don't fuse properly.

Normally, the tissues that make up the lip and palate fuse together in the second and third months of pregnancy.
But in babies with cleft lip and cleft palate, the fusion never takes place or occurs only part way, leaving an opening (cleft).

Researchers believe that most cases of cleft lip and cleft palate are caused by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors. In many babies, a definite cause isn't discovered.

The mother or the father can pass on genes that cause clefting, either alone or as part of a genetic syndrome that includes a cleft lip or cleft palate as one of its signs.
In some cases, babies inherit a gene that makes them more likely to develop a cleft, and then an environmental trigger actually causes the cleft to occur.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects. They most commonly occur as isolated birth defects but are also associated with many inherited genetic conditions or syndromes.


Some evidence suggests the conditions may be genetic. Additional research suggests a combination of genetic and environmental factors affecting the mother during pregnancy — including smoking, diabetes or the use of certain medications — could be connected.

Having a baby born with a cleft can be upsetting, but cleft lip and cleft palate can be corrected. In most babies, a series of surgeries can restore normal function and achieve a more normal appearance with minimal scarring.
Less commonly, a cleft occurs only in the muscles of the soft palate (submucous cleft palate), which are at the back of the mouth and covered by the mouth's lining. This type of cleft often goes unnoticed at birth and may not be diagnosed until later when signs develop.

Signs and symptoms of submucous cleft palate may include:

✅Difficulty with feedings
✅Difficulty swallowing, with potential for liquids or foods to come out the nose.
✅Nasal speaking voice
✅Chronic ear infections.
