When Alicia and J.R. found out they were having Josie, they were thrilled. When they found out during an ultrasound that Josie had a cleft lip, they were terrified. But their journey with Josie and Dr. Samir Mardini taught them the beauty of a cleft lip—and how their experience could help other families.
On this special episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with facial plastic surgeon Dr. Samir Mardini, Dr. Marissa Suchyta, and Josie and her family about the life-changing experience of cleft lip and palate, and how kids of all kinds can learn to embrace and celebrate their differences.

How Do Babies Get Syphilis?
You might not be used to hearing "babies" and "syphilis" in the same sentence. But if you're trying to conceive, expecting, or have a young child, it should be on your radar. Because if a parent has syphilis, they can pass it along to their kid. And the number of cases in kids is on the rise. So why are we still struggling with a curable disease? And how do you know if you or your child is at risk?
On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with OBGYN Dr. Yvonne Butler Tobah about congential syphilis, testing and all those questions you don't want in your Google search history.
