Each year, there are about 3,000 children born with cleft palate and cleft palates nationwide, but now there are more than 10,000 children who have not yet had surgery.
Originally, cleft palate is a birth defect, so they are usually formed during the period when the mother is pregnant. Very soon, your baby's lips begin to form from the 5th week of pregnancy and until weeks 7 and 8 of the baby's upper jaw is also formed. This suggests that cleft palate will appear at this time, that is, very early in pregnancy.
Any development of an abnormality in an unborn baby is influenced by many factors. Cleft palate in children is also not out of this. So far the cause of this defect has a lot to study because of its complexity. But usually the baby can be deformed due to external factors (from the mother's environment) and genetic factors (possibly from both parents).
The chance of the fetus having this deformity will be higher if during pregnancy the mother has negative behaviors that affect the fetus such as:
Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are severe
Mother got sick and sick during pregnancy
The mother has a serious lack of nutrition, especially lack of substances such as folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6
The mother is constantly using drugs that contain substances such as Phenytoin, Dilantin, Corticosteroids or exposure to toxic chemicals.
According to the statistics, the rate of baby fish with cleft palate cleft is 2 times more likely to die in the first year of life than normal children. Children with this deformity often have big problems with eating and drinking, difficulty sucking in, malnutrition due to too little food intake, babies often choke, reflux, food reflux through the nose. Not only that, the baby also suffers from respiratory diseases, chronic ear infections, oral and pronunciation.
Except for the genetic defect factor, the mother having a healthy and nutritious pregnancy will greatly reduce the risk of cleft palate in babies. Therefore, the advice from doctors to pregnant women is:
Completely abstain from alcohol and tobacco
Consult your doctor before using any medicine while you are pregnant
Regular exercise, exercise
Reasonable rest, avoid falling into a state of stress, depression
Eat and drink enough nutrients and variety, avoid foods harmful to the fetus
Pregnant mothers need to supplement vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid according to the dosage indicated by the doctor before deciding to become pregnant and during early pregnancy.
Fortunately, with modern medicine today, babies with cleft palate can completely treat it to have a normal palate.
