Babies switched at Birth

So, I just read an article in which 56 years ago, 2 babies were switched by the hospital on accident. One of the moms, was convinced the babies were switched but the hospital brushed it off and told her that she had the correct baby.

Re: Babies switched at Birth

  • yikes!! How scary. It is a good think that many hospitals have tons of precautions now. At SACH, the baby stays with the mom (doesn't stay in the nursery unless there is a reason) and has a lo-jack device on them as well. It sounds strange but you just never know.
  • Some people dislike all the precautions that hospitals take nowadays but it's because of situations like these that there are regulations in place.

  • omigoodness.

    I also love how most hospitals have matching ID bracelets for baby and mama that they put on immediately after birth.

  • I'm glad hospitals are taking the precautions so things like this or baby kidnapping do not happen. ?

    Talk about not messing around with those baby lo-jacks though! ?The sucky thing is that both boys got skin irritations due to the band - even after we put cotton balls to prevent chaffing =(

    That's what Kaiser Fontana does. Mom, Dad and baby have an ID bracelet with the same number. And if I remember correctly she also had a lojack type thing.

  • Lo jack for babies sounds so funny.

    I think most hospitals use it nowadays.

  • scary but necessary to have lo jacks on babies these days
