title: Weight gain in children with cleft palate from birth to two years.
abstract: The weights from birth to 2 years of 77 babies with palatal clefts were compared with the weights of normal babies (Pomerance, 1979). Babies with clefts did not differ from normal infants in mean birth weight, but they lagged behind thereafter. Males were more impaired than females.
