Neurosurgeon: Infants need the sutures in the skull to be open to allow for the skull to grow. Without correction, this can lead to not only cosmetic problems, but increased pressure in the brain.

Craniofacial Team: A craniofacial team, with neurosurgeon, facial plastic surgeon, oral surgeon, genetecist, speech pathologist, social worker, etc is best suited to treat this problem. You can get the names of teams at cleftline.Org.
