I was wondering if hypotonia (low muscle tone) is common with a cleft palate condition? My babygirl had her soft palate repaired at 10 mths. Could there possibly be an underlying problem? She is 14 mths old now and is in physical therapy for hypotonia. I don't know if I'm being over concerned but I think I'm going to ask the pediatrician for a referral to a neurologist? Does anyone have babies that experience physical developmental delays/hypotonia?
She also has speech delays...which I understand is due to the cleft palate. She is seeing a speech therapist bi-weekly.
