It is best to deal with these congenital defects while they are still young, so that the problem can be corrected before the child is fully grown, and also to improve a child’s developing self-esteem. Your child will most likely be under general anesthesia during the procedure and will be given a special diet prior to the procedure. The diet will depend on the age of your child — formula-fed infants under 12 months can be fed six hours before the surgery, while breastfed infants can take milk four hours before surgery. In order to promote a sense of comfort, have your child bring along a special stuffed animal or a favorite blanket. It is important to carefully watch your child after the procedure, to prevent any damage to the surgical site.
