cleft in shoulder & a hole above the hip line Posted: 01-22-08 03:59am


Hi My baby is now 1.6 years old.. By birth, he's cleft in both the shoulders & a pin size hole above an inch in the hip line.. I'd asked doctors whether it will affect him in anyway ... to which they responded in negative.. I'me curious to know more about it.. why it happens & if there's any problem with that now or in the future to the baby.. Thanks Curious Mom

I'm sorry no one got to your post sooner. How is your baby doing? I suppose the doctors believe that the baby will continue to develop and it will go away eventually. I have had 2 children with a pin sized hole in the same place on their ear, and they do not bother them. Actually either I haven't noticed them or they are gone on my 6 year old. I would say it's probably just a genetic thing and there's nothing to worry about. If your baby seems to be getting infections there or unable to move properly because there is an underlying problem in those areas, then you would want to contact the doctor. But I think he will be just fine.
