#asktheexperts my 5 month old baby girl has 3 extra fingers.. should I remove these extra fingers.. and what time(day) it is suitable? ..she should not be hurt..

A. If the extra finger is more fully developed, your child may benefit from a surgery to remove the extra finger. This is typically done when a child is between 1 and 2 years old. This surgery can range from a simple procedure to remove the extra little finger to more complex procedures (for thumbs and central fingers).
