Abstract
Because of the difficulty of correctly administering suction, cleft lip and palate patients have trouble breastfeeding. Under this background, due to low weight gain, the growth of the infant is typically compromised. Treatment for cleft lip and palate patients is surgery that is done on a com-monthly basis in the sixth month of life. The occurrence of cleft lip and cleft palate can differ according to race, ethnicity, geographical origin and socio-economic status. At the beginning of the 20th century, international oral cleft incidence was measured by the World Health Organization at 1 in 750 live births each year.
