A baby born with a cleft palate often has a cleft lip as well. A cleft lip is a gap or opening in the upper (top) lip. Most of the time, a cleft is only in the upper lip and doesn't affect the lower lip. A cleft lip can be either unilateral or bilateral.

When a patient needs medical attention without the need for admission, it is called ambulatory care. Ambulatory care includes several medical procedures or treatments that can be performed on an ambulatory basis. Blood tests, X-rays, endoscopy, biopsy and vaccination are some examples of ambulatory care. A baby visiting a pediatrician for a monthly checkup is also considered as ambulatory care.
