Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
If your daughter is having cleft palate,she can wear a prosthesis For avoiding feeding difficulty or she may be fed in a sitting position.
For corrective surgery she should weigh 10 kgs, 10 months age and >10 gm% hemoglobin.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
