Cleft Lip & Palate

Our vision and our passion are to provide babies born with a cleft lip or palate with a better everyday life and improved well-being. We care deeply about helping babies and their families and pride ourselves on our holistic approach to the process of creating function every step of the way!

Our aim:
This is to reduce the complexity and minimise the number of anomalies regarding the cleft lip and palate and to restore the normal anatomical relationship to facilitate primary surgery. 

At the request of the specialist treating your baby, the Queenswood CLP team will assist you and your baby for the first few months in the following ways:

– Manufacture and provide a customized feeding plate  / nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) and Nasal Elevators
– Advise on weight and feeding
– Diagnostic photo’s
– Provide counselling and family support
– Tailor payment plans to suit your financial situation
– Assist with applications for a sponsorship if you are unable to financially cover the fees 

Provide emergency sessions, which are available by prior arrangement and by appointment only. 
 
Although we do our utmost to provide the best medical assistance, all babies treated by us must be declared medically stable by the paediatrician or attending doctor.
