3 day old son born with polydactyly - extra pinky on each hand Rss

Hi Mums and Dads out there,

my son was born 3 days ago and has extra pinky finger digits on both hands, they are attached by a string of skin but wanted to know if anyone else has come across this with their child and what way did you go about having them removed? I know they can be stringed or surgically removed but at this stage have to wait 3-4months just to see a specialist and i am scared that in that time as bubs gets more active he will get them caught etc and rip them off by accident! We live in mandurah WA so anyone that lives here and has had this same experience could you let us know which way you went and the outcome and who you saw here????
Thanks everyone smile
I don't have any experience with this, sorry, but I found a yahoo group that does.

I joined the TLC yahoo group and found it great for support and asnwering questions.

Good luck!
