[Notes:Various vid of baby]
Her name's Lali (LAH-lee).
She apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication .... where a single head has two faces.
All of Lali's facial features are duplicated except for her ears ... she has two.
Hospital officials said Lali can use both mouths.
And she opened and shut all four eyes at the same time.
Lali's condition is often linked to serious health complications.
Doctors in New Delhi say she's doing well ... But have suggested a computerized tomography scan.
The scan should determine whether her internal organs are normal.
But Lali's father says he thought that was unnecessary.
