Cleft palate/lip
occurs when right and left halves of the palate fail to join medially. This deviation leaves an opening between the mouth and nasal cavities that interferes with sucking and thus the baby's ability to nurse. It can also lead to inhalation of food into the nasal cavity and lungs, possibly resulting in pneumonia. This condition can be surgically repaired
