Surfactant molecules allow many things to exist. This would include alveoli in the lungs, and particles of colloidal dimensions, such as micelle.

The surfactant doesn't allow the sides of the alveoli form sticking together. Infants that are born very early don't make surfactant and so have many problems.

Why does oil miscible in solution of surf and water?

Presumably you mean surfactant and water? A classic surfactant molecule has a polar, hydrophilic end and a non-polar hydrocarbon liophilic end. With enough of a suitable surfactant, oil droplets will form with the liophilic part of surfactant molecules dissolved in the droplets and water molecules attached to the hydrophilic part of the surfactant. The oil disperses in the water.


Which surfactant lacks in a new born baby?

I have never heard the surfactant called anything specific. Full term babies usually have surfactant (a mixture of lipids (fats) and proteins). Premature babies many times do not have enough surfactant to keep the alveoli of their lungs open, so artificial surfactant is put into the trachea, sometimes more than once.
