Hi! My son Silas is 4 weeks old yesterday and has a cleft in his soft palate. I notice that his nose is sometimes quite stuffy and am wondering if this is normal for babies with cleft palate. He's a very healthy little guy otherwise. Also wondering if most babies with cleft palate have tubes put in their ears. We see the ENT specialist next month to arrange for this. We are told that his cleft surgery will be when he is between 9 and 12 months old.
Thanks
Charis
