My baby was born with two pinkies on left hand. Were looking into operating. I know it's fairly common, anyone experienced this? Would love to hear from you how the procedure went, recovery time, which Dr. you used, etc.

Sorry, no experience with this but I knew someone whose baby was born with 2 thumbs. After a few months they operated at a Manhattan hospital.
Call echo 718-859-9800 for a top doctor referral.

Don’t have personal experience but my SIL was born with the same. They operated after a few months and she wore baby gloves till then. She’s turning 17 now and no one would be the wiser Smile. (If she didn’t periodically joke about it)

Runs in my family. Several in the family had (Part of a condition which is sometimes hereditary and may have other symptoms). Used different doctors. Best one was a plastic surgeon.

I used to look after a baby that had 12 fingers and 12 toes. She had the extras removed when she was very young and bh seemed to be fine straight away.
