My son was born with cleft lip. The doctors would not do surgery until he was over 10 lbs and over 10 months old. I was also born with bilateral cleft lip and palate, they would not do surgery on me until I was older- even though I drank through a syringe and tube.. if you have any questions feel free to message me!

They usually do surgery within first few months of life.
