🙋Is it my fault my baby has cleft lip and palate ?
🎗️It is natural for parents to question themselves when their baby is born with a cleft lip and palate. However, it is important to understand that these conditions are often beyond parental control and not the result of anything a parent did or didn’t do during pregnancy.
🎗️Cleft lip and palate occur early in pregnancy when the tissues that form the lip and palate do not fuse properly. This can be influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
🎗️Genetic factors play a significant role, as cleft lip and palate can sometimes run in families. Environmental factors might include certain medications, nutritional deficiencies, or exposure to harmful substances, but often there is no clear cause. Many cases of cleft lip and palate occur with no known risk factors, making it impossible to predict or prevent.
🎗️What is important is -Parents should focus on seeking appropriate medical care for their child. Advances in medical and surgical treatments have significantly improved outcomes for children with cleft lip and palate. Support from healthcare professionals, family, and support groups can also be invaluable in helping parents navigate this journey.
🫶Remember, your love and care are what matter most in ensuring your baby’s healthy development and happiness🩷
