Abstract

To describe the difficulties faced by live births with cleft lip from the maternal perspective, in contact with the anomaly and family life conditions. This is an exploratory-descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, based on field research, with searches carried out in October 2022 through an electronic questionnaire made available via the Facebook group. Seven mothers participated in the research, which made it possible to identify the difficulties faced by babies born with cleft lip from pregnancy, birth and management of the whole family. One of the most common difficulties encountered was during breastfeeding, with difficulty latching on to the breast, exacerbated reflux, gas due to a large intake of air. It is concluded that follow-up and guidance is necessary, from the diagnosis of the anomaly, so that support can be given by the multidisciplinary team to the child's parents and relatives.
