Genetics: You will want to see a specialist in Medical Genetics. Meanwhile, love your baby, talk to her and play with her. All babies benefit from as rich an outside world as you can provide.

Support/love: They all have health care needs, and yours will need a regular source of care with a pediatrician or family doc you trust.She will also need to see some specialists in areas required by her defect. These would include a geneticist, and might involve others if specific problems are identified. I would get her into an early childhood program and find a support group for parents of special need kids
