Throughout this week we will be sharing (and correcting) myths about clefts! Up first, #didyouknow there is common myth that parents (especially mothers) cause clefts? This myth suggests that parents somehow are guilty for their children's clefts. For example, some people think that clefts are a result of the mother being promiscuous during her pregnancy, which is completely false. 📣 CONCLUSION: No, clefts aren't some sort of punishment for something that you did as a parent.
