Do we need to consult with a geneticist or any other specialist for my baby's birth defects condition?

Yes. All babies with birth defects can benefit from seeing a doctor who specializes in genetics. The geneticist will help determine whether the problem is isolated or whether there is a larger “syndrome.” It is always helpful to have the input of a geneticist before undergoing genetic testing. He or she can also help find out whether the problem runs in the family and what your chances are of having another affected child.
