Hi all,
 
 This mom that emailed me has apparently adopted a very small 9 month  old 
with a soft-palate cleft. She initially referred to the baby as a  "soft-palate 
baby", so I was guessing there was some sort of cleft issue.  However, never 
having heard that exact term before, I wasn't sure. The  description of 
submucosal cleft mentions a lack of muscle and bone in the hard  palate, so I thought 
that may have been what she meant at first. I sent her  about 8 pages on 
cleft palate, and just confirmed what the baby actually has.  She's got a bunch of 
LLL contacts now, so I hope we'll be able to help her. 
 
 It's funny because I always call Brandon (my son) a CHARGE baby, and  people 
always wonder what I mean! What's even funnier is that I got about 10  emails 
telling me that everyone has a soft palate! I guess I need to be a bit  more 
specific in my emails! LOL ;o)
