@@Mariet31I hear you, but I'm sorry that's still no excuse. The mentality of the hippocratic oath should lead to the logic of first validating any medical concern by ordering the appropriate tests and THEN determining if that concern was legitimate or not, depending on the results of the test, not the opposite way around. That is lazy medical care, that is jaded medical care, and that is negligent medical care.
@@belladingdong3396 yes! Even when I was working in smaller facilities, we had to validate that something wasn’t right or that the patient wasn’t just having some type of episode. Which meant ok, let’s get some stat bloodwork etc it’s so simple and could’ve been prevented. That mother missed out on special moments that another mother had with her child, the other mother too.
OH you know a civil court will be compensate them. Hospital will settle out of court quietly with both families. My uncles 1st wife died during a surgery, it was their fault, he was awarded a huge settlement out of court. It doesn’t replace his wife though.
Salina Asmelash I would do it not because of the money just so they could listen. I can’t imagine giving birth to child and that child get switched up that’s terrible. Some of them think just because they’re doctors and nurses that they’re perfect
they were all definitely in on it and knew they messed up but were scared to lose their job so they were dumb enough to really think they could fool a mothers intuition by lying. I feel so bad for the mother I can’t imagine her pain
The fact that her first thought wasn’t her biological baby, but this baby that she has been raising and falling in love with... that’s a real mother right there. Mourning a baby that wasn’t hers ☹️
Hmm yes you're right.. You're such a smart type and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬 How are you doing today?.
thank goodness Australia has that rule of not having nurseries in the hospitals. baby pops out and is required to a 20-30 Min skin bonding then they are placed in a crib next to you and they never leave the room. babies are not allowed to be held outside your room at all.
The hospital i delivered at had the same policy. The baby never left the room and mom or the other banded person had to be with them at all times. If you were sleeping, the baby was to be put on the side of the bed in the crib away from the door. And only released to a nurse or doctor with a pink badge.
Sarah Joy in Australia (where I birthed) if mum or bubs has undergone trauma during the birth, bubs is taken into the nursery away from mum, so although the chance of a Bub mix up is rare, it is possible.
The hospital I went to did not have a nursery. If a baby needed an incubator that was brought into the mothers room. This was a public hospital. other ladies I visited in other hospital did not have nurseries too. I asked why and they said they don't use those techniques anymore. Maybe bigger hospitals have a care room
My brain liked to blow up with that very thought. I was hated from birth so my heart was sick at the thought their baby, Moses, went to people like mine🤢
@@Auntee-Sara I'm sorry that was your experience. It is hard to heal from such a beginning. I wish you healing and peace. In this story, it does sound like both babies went to loving families, which is no doubt why the exchange went so smoothly. Makes all the difference in the world.
@@Auntee-Sara That is horrible. I can’t imagine being hated since birth. So sorry you had to go through this. I think this could make you an exceptionally loving parent given what you must have gone through. ❤
I’d sue the *uck out of that hospital. The emotional trauma caused to the mothers especially and there’s no doubt to the baby boys. Yes even at 3 months. Incompetent staff
I’m sure they did or will. The last thing he said was the “financial damage” it’s caused us. She even mentioned giving all the clothes they bought away with the child. Trust me they’re going to make sure Moses gets a real nice settlement haha
I hate when doctors don't listen to their patients' concerns and even try to label them as crazy or doped up instead trying to go out of their way and address/resolve patients concerns immediately. In this case all they needed to say was "ok if you think this is not your baby lets do DNA test". Instead they try to tell her we don't make mistakes like that you were on meds who knows what you saw. Unbelievable 🙄
Yes, they could’ve avoided the babies being separated from their bio family from three months to an hour if they would have checked within that 4 day hospital stay!
LUCRETIA TEPES uhh and there are people who abandon their kids and people who give 0 shits about a kid when they find out they're not genetically related
Scarlett Whisperer that's why she called her a good mom. Because so many would immediately want to get the baby that wasn't theirs off of their hands to get their real baby. instead, she wanted to keep both (a tad selfish, but I understand where she was coming from).
To a medical professional it would sound like she's just drowsy or suffering from post natal depression. Realistically, PND is much more common than accidental switches.
Absolutely! I am a midwife and in my previous job we checked the baby's ID band and cot card against the mother's wristband before baby left mother's side, checked the baby's ID against the cot card before leaving the nursery, and checked baby's ID against mother's wristband when baby is returned to mother. We did this EVERY TIME baby left mother's side. Babies had 2 types of ID one of which was a plain number which mother read and signed a form for on admission while she had all her wits about her. ALL BABIES had an ID band on all limbs! This story is insane!
Clorox..I think she's a loving mother...I did find her to be a little selfish to think she could keep both babies!!... saying she was hoping she could keep both babies..NOT giving the other mother a thought or any sympathy.. I realise she loved this little boy..I also know the other mother was loving the baby she had.. I honestly believe one of my first thoughts would have been the other mother as well.. for one she has my baby.. this is going to be heartbraking for both of us.. I can't believe until the solicitor said the other baby has to go back to his mother!! that this lady believed she was keeping both of these babies.this was a couple of hours before she had to hand over the baby to his mother!! and this lady was willing to keep both babies!! Two babies two mother's and each of these mother had the right to have their babies back!. NOT one mother keeps both...
ma wee chickadee WOW!!! Are you really that judgmental and lacking in compassion??? The woman was on an emotional rollercoaster. She had loved a child as her own unconditionally for several months. Even nursed that child. Then her real child is found. Sounds like she simply needed some time to adjust to that reality before having to face the reality that finding her own child meant losing the child that had been in her care. It wasn’t a matter of her “selfishly” desiring to keep both children. Seems like she simply hadn’t had time to absorb the fact that as she gained one child she was about to lose another. Have some compassion! After what she went through, I think she earned the benefit of a doubt.
Arturo Stojanoff maybe because it was something she had gone through personally. And something she believed in so much that she had fought to do like getting them tested for
Christina Waters I was looking for a comment like this so I could immediately like it. Like how can a hospital do this? How disorganized could they be to switch up babies?
The babies are so different looking! They both have entirely different skin colors. Why would you not double check if you were unsure who's baby was who's if you were a nurse? Admit a mistake early before it spirals out of control.
From time to time the hospital's mix up the babies and put the wrong tags on their ankles, or another malfunction could occur. Remember no one's perfect, but it is understandable to be upset.
Katherine Fotopoulos typically.. skin color (melanomin?)darkens in time. The difference would not necessarily show up for a while. THE main problem here is that the Staff ignored the mother's concerns. A lesson for everyone here is... pay attention to your own gut feelings.
Even when you had doubts this precious one was your baby you still gave him a mother's love. You and your husband loved him. You both gave him such a sweet sweet start in life and I am sure your son was so loved as well by the other parents. God Bless you all!
Yes!!!! So true. Many new momz would have been upset with themselves for their disbelieveing. ....especially because it seemed EVERY PERSON SHE KNEW INCLUDING FAMILY TOLD HER SHE WAS WRONG . I THINK SHE GOT STRENGTH FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT . THEY ARE BELIEVERS.... ❤
@@kimgodwin29 still has a nightmare of the Nurse did not want me to breastfeed my baby, as she thinks, my baby should have botel in a hospital when I wish to feed her and later dr reminded me I was right when had to walk in pain of cesarean to watch she does not cry from hunger
Her husband has such a great trust on his wife that he never doubted that child...In the video itself he is like just looking at her all the time with so much love.
@@A.Singularity -- Right? I wonder why? It's so emotional. I think they handled it really well together. They come across as good caring people. They really cared about that other child, too, & they're not angry & twisted up about what happened - no blaming, talk of vengeance, suing, or being victims. They were both able to really talk about their feelings in a heartfelt, open, & clear way as well -- the gentleman, especially. Maybe this is so rare we don't know what to say...
Maritess Hoy You’re right, but I hope they do sue. To just tell the mother she is mistaken about her baby without investigating a possible switch is arrogant and unforgivable. And letting it go can mean this can happen to another set of parents.

Meh..I sincerely beg to differ. The mom is indeed lovely, but dad is clearly an ass hat and if you can't see that, well... sad for us all that there are scant few parents and no class at any school that teaches discernment, which is a character trait you clearly lack.
She’s my teacher, she’s from El Salvador and did have a rough childhood. Today she’s such a huge blessing and Moses runs around in her office all day He’s funny
Two years, four hospitalizations, doctors kept saying my symptoms were all in my head. The last doctor used the exact words 'your imagination'. Turns out I had a defective medical device. No question about misdiagnosis of a disease - it was a document-able, real physical malfunction. Who figured it out? A woman tech, of course, who believed what I was saying. Women are subject to so much medical abuse it's criminal.

B Anderson at the same time she wanted to keep the other baby. That’s very selfish, she wasn’t thinking that the other family would also want their real baby? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
If my mother's instincts were always right, I would have been kidnapped or killed at least a thousand times in my childhood. I can assure I wasn't kidnapped or killed even once.
So true! Never underestimate a mother’s instinct!! Thank God she was able to get her baby back and God bless her for loving and taking care of that baby even though she knew it really wasn’t hers! What an amazing story!!! It’s scary to think that this actually could happen and I’m so glad that everything worked out the way it should have. It’s definitely God’s work.
Lisalynn's World Inam not sure Mothers instinct in stronger than science. Doctors does not equate science. the science is the Dna test not the doctors word.
Lisalynn's World right, what told then the truth at the end? The DNA test, which is science. Even the mother went along for a while. Neglectful nurses are not science.
Lisalynn's World Yes it is, I agree! :) Though many mothers & other women throughout history have lied about things like this, stolen other women's babies, and such. Simply being a woman does NOT in any way automatically make one honest, sane, trustworthy, caring or loving. Sadly.
Lisalynn's World Had nothing to do with science. It is the nurses who were too stupid to bring her the right baby. If it wasn't for science ( DNA testing ) she would never get her baby back.
I completely agree. When my grandmother was giving birth, she told the doctor something was seriously wrong. He kept dismissing her, and she kept telling him something was wrong. It turned out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and it choked him to death. She grieved for that baby her entire life. I think doctors just get jaded and stop listening to their patients after a few years.
I believe the hospital should be held to account. This must be heartbreaking for parents having to go through this. That couple were lucky but what about the ones lost forever, never knowing they were switched. Something needs to be put in place to prevent this from happening or massive compensation should be given to the families as a way to stop this from repeating. Good luck to the family.
In the UK, an ID bracelet is put on the child as soon as it is born, before it is taken out of the mother's sight. It is incredible to me that this isn't normal practice in the US!
This happen to a Polish couple. The hospital in Ohio gave them a dead baby. They went to Poland and buried the wrong baby. Later, they found out their baby was a live and that baby belong to someone else. I also felt for the other couple. DOUBLE LAW SUIT!!!
Robert Kolakowski Jesus Christ! Can you imagine?!! One day you have a healthy baby at home and the other day tell you your baby is dead in Poland!!! 😭😭😭😭 This horrible! Pry for them!
The interviewer in this is such a great listener. He does not probe with unnecessary questions but gives the parents the space to tell their story. Some time that can be so healing. Someone holding space for you to tell your story without interruptions.
I agree. He appears very calm & considerate. Silence is so important in these situations. It gives the interviewees an opportunity to process & reflect. It also shows respect for them- they are being listened to rather than talked at....
_Shro, you are correct, and you put it very well. I do not like it either when the interviewer tells the interviewee that it is okay to cry when they see them crying, and as a viewer at home, I am like, of course it is okay to cry, you do not have to tell them that. This interviewer did not tell her it was okay to cry, so with this and especially what you said in mind, the interviewer gets a mark of ten out of ten
Joo-hyun Cha this happened in El Salvador and she did sue but I guess they settled off court it was a big deal in here they followed the case every day non stop until they found the baby.
Can you imagine as a first time mother nursing and loving a child but at the same time feeling something is not right? A mother's instincts are powerful and should never be ignored!
The father is so in love with his wife and child that he did not analyze that he look different. They are both lovely and so lucky to have each other. :)
are lis I couldn’t help crying while watching this (as a mother you completely identify with absolutely every single emotion that she expresses) it’s absolutely ridiculous that this negligence STILL happens!!
many just float down the river of life never to notice anything unless something hits them over the head and prevents their comfort of floating, then they begin to think about perhaps they may notice - but even then, not always. I will never comprehend it.
They’re such an amazing couple . They way she describes everything is so beautiful and so soft spoken and then the dad saying he wants justice in the situation. Great people
They put a security braclets on baby that matches the mom's immediately after birth. If the baby even comes within 10 feet or so of the exit doors an alarm goes off and lock down initiated. They dont mess around anymore. Its very hard for babys to be switched at birth now. Not all hospitals have this security but most do
Hmm yes you're right.. You're do smart and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬 How are you doing today?.
instinct is not always right.There's this mother who never treated her son as hers claiming he was switched at birth turned out he is indeed her son whom she abused verbally and emotionally throughout his existence.
@@horrormovielover6725 To that I would say that she probably didnt even have motherly instincts. Some women just do not. It seems that drugs (no excuse) seems to have a dehumanizing effect on people as well. A lot of people get on drugs and just dont care about anything else anymore
That was a total negligence of the staff's part, they should pay the damage that they brought to the family. The saddest part of this is giving up the baby that she took care for 3 months and I understand where she's coming from. Lesson learned is you should trust your motherly instinct because mom knows best.
you'd be surprised how common mixups like these are. happened to me with my parents. thankfully my dad discovered it before they took me home. we were born the same day, in the same delivery room, and were given the same first name. the nurse didn't even bother to double-check our last names on our wristbands to ensure each baby was with the right parents, it was just, "here you go".
@@nichegoseberazdvatri staff in hospitals work unsocial hours under stress all the time and cannot remember vividly what happened 5months earlier. So in practice its buck passing and the weakest link gets the blame. The ones REALLY responsible rarely gets punished, on the contrary they get moved to or promoted to new jobs in similar environment (sometimes overseas with juicy expat packages)
I'm so glad the babies adjusted to real parents peacefully. Also the love that continued to be expressed for the other baby is worth our public viewing of this story that I feel not too many people would have had the capacity to extend during this horrific hospital error. Í hope they can back track the steps of how it happened to prevent it from ever happening again. Such a happy ending. In that the hospital had an excellent recovery.🧸
After I had my first baby I went to get her from the nursery and threw this huge window with so many babies I immediately recognized my child it's like my eyes went right to her. A mother knows her child. I wish Drs and nurses would listen.
I gave birth to my child and then went to my room a bit later. My child was taken away for me to rest for a few hours and when the babies were wheeled out of the nursery to the rooms there were so many babies crying in the hall. I was only a little awake but I could hear my baby out of all the rest. I had only held him once but knew his sound, his smell. Moms KNOW.
I love that the mother did not let it go. She did not have peace and would not until she did that DNA test. Good for her because she really saved the day in this story. But you can also see they both genuinely fell in love with the other child and it's heartwarming to see that they still want to stay in touch with him as he grows up. I think they have handled this as best as anyone in their position could!
Hmm yes you're right.. You're do smart and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬 How are you doing today?.
I love her too - you can tell she is a loving, caring and nurturing lady - the fact that she sent this little boy with ALL of his clothes - from what she said about them getting home and not having any clothing to put her biological son in. 😢 Clearly the family that had raised her biological son kept all of his clothes - they did not think to do the same. I would love to hear the other family's side of the story.
This happened to my brother. He was switched with another baby. Good thing my older sister noticed the birth mark on my brother's armpit and said that it's not the same baby.
@@coffeepandacat yeah it was 49 years ago. Good thing my older sister was very observant at a young age. My mom wasn’t even aware she was holding a different baby.
@@unmillondeamigos1075 I had a baby in a foreign country and searched until I found a doc (couldn't find any midwives) willing to let me call ALL the shots, which included the baby staying with me and me leaving early.
Kristy Bharti in Canada yes. They hand the baby right away to the father if csection or birth to mom. Baby is with the parents the whole entire time. But in case they baby needs medical attention the father can follow the baby.
I had a preemie that was moved frequently within the NICU & his bracelet was too loose to stay on well. My son has a unique ear lobe that curls a little. I checked every day for the two months he was in the NICU to make sure I was taking the right baby home 🙂 I'm so glad this couple were reunited with their son.
@@sinatra7407 it depends on the situation, if it’s a preemie baby they probably have to be rushed to NICU, if they’re not they could die. Or it could be to prioritise the mother. She said she had a C-section, which is pretty hard going in itself, you need to be stitched up and cared for. But you also don’t know why she had a C-section there could have been complications that meant she needed extra care. Birth can be pretty messy and doctors/nurses are often just doing what they can. They should’ve taken her seriously and done a DNA test in the hospital tho
@@leocervidae what you say could all be true, but ensuring the right baby goes to the right family is absolutely crucial and there has to be fail safe systems in place which are all part of a reasonable standard of service.
Um, this unfortunately happens more than you think out of 4 million births 28,000 get switched every year, overall this translates to about 1 mistake per every 1,000 baby transfers.

@@Hello-uv3nz Your naiveté betrays your green age (or undevelopped culture) in your inability to detect the well intended and correct naming : United Statians, that befits you. Indeed, let me teach you who you really are straight from the dictionary : "A United Statian (or simply Statian) is a person from the United States of America, since the term American refers to any person in the western hemisphere." A Columbian is an American too and so is a Sho Shon or Alconquian Amerindian. But you, you are the descendant of the group that calls itself the United states under its constitution and is most correctly named a United-Statian, which is more defining and precise than loosely calling you an american Like a Brazilian.

Happened to me, if I hadn't been alert enough to know I'd had a boy, they'd have given me a baby girl. They insisted I was wrong. I kept insisting they were wrong. Long story short, they finally fixed it. Don't count on the hospital staff to know or admit. Fight for your right to your own baby, cause it happens, it does.
Typical that the mother would be ignored as being "hysterical," "under the influence of medication," etc. This is the type of misogyny that women experience constantly in the USA.

My wife and I were so lucky that our children received brackets before leaving the delivery room, why can't this be standard protocol. Now I'm wondering if a mix-up occurred in the hospital my children were born at.
This happened with my sister when she gave birth to her baby girl she noticed her baby was bald, well they took her baby to the nursery and next thing you know they bring back her baby with a cap on and all bundled and clean she starts to breast feed it and takes off the cap and notices the baby had a head full of dark hair she called the nurse in and told her this was not her baby the nurse then told her it was and she was just medicated and it was her baby my sister insisted it was not her baby and put up a fight sure enough they had switched her baby with another. Thank god my sister fought it and demanded they give her back her baby.
Good thing they made the change and got back the correct baby. I have seen awful stories with people not doing the correct flip and it never ends well.

What a sickening story. When the mom described the heartache of having to give up the other child, and then the joy and relief of finally getting their own back...I can't imagine having to go through such emotional trauma.
@@lilyoftheflorida1258 I heard an interview with the other mother and she was more easy going and not as emotionally attached to the child that wasn't hers. She had suspected and expressed doubts from the beginning as well which should have made the nurses take notice but they didn't. She saw her baby at the judges office and said, "Thats my baby." She got a fat settlement just like the other couple and it was deserved but she seemed to take it all in stride more than this mother. People are all different. I don't judge her for it.
What a sweet and loving family. I know these mistakes are exceedingly rare. But mistakes like this are emotionally and mentally catastrophic to the families affected. I hope a positive change to prevent these mistakes can come from this.

Actually you clearly dont appreciate early bonding between mother and child,even if we dont remember things,they're stored in the subconscious mind,so dont assume all is well.

Here is a true scary story 11/20/1997 I was leaving the hospital with my mom My sister had been there all day & many hours later had my niece.As Mom & I were walking this man had a pink diaper bag & was walking very fast & 2 cops came running one grabbed him one took the diaper bag opened it & there was a baby. I promise this is true.The next day we went to see my sister & my niece My Mom took a black sharpie & mad a black dot on each foot.So yes crazy thing's happen yes these day's they are more careful with hospital tags on baby cord & bracelet's on the parent's. But still thing's can happen. much love to all.
There was a story about a girl and her parents killed in a car accident. It turned out the girl was switched at birth because the people who raised her were poor and the other baby had a heart problem. The one with the heart problem had well off parents who took great medical care;however they divorced because while looking for a donor matches of marrow the DNA said impossible for the dad to be the dad. Yet didn't acknowledge the mother was not the mother. After suing the hospital the family learned their daughter died in a car accident.
Indeed, she should of called a DNA law office and had them show up at the hospital. My heart breaks for this family and the irresponsible not needed trauma they went thru.
+john 321 They do that to let the mother recuperate from just giving birth and they have to clean the baby and check to be sure nothing is wrong with the baby. But especially some women can be in labor for a long time then the energy it takes to push the baby out is very exhausting even more so if they had to have a C-section cause they are given medications for the pain and such. The nurses were just extremely negligent , they are supposed to put a band on the babies ankle with the room and mothers name. I dunno about all hospitals or what they do but the hospital I was at this was their standard protocol. They even put a security monitor on the babies ankle and if the child is taken within so many feet an alarm will go off.
In a lot of german hospitals you can decide, whether to give your child to the nursery or keep it in your room. But usually they immediately put a name tag on the baby (little bracelet or something like this). So maybe the nurses at this hospital were really stressed this day.
+Sarah R. That's true but they ALWAYS take the baby to the nursery at first so they can fully exam the baby and clean the amniotic fluid off the baby check for jaundice, things like that. They give your child a small check-up in the room with you and if he/she is breathing fine and not in a life or death situation they let you hold your child first and take some pictures before taking him/her to the nursery. But after they bring the baby back to the room it's up to you if you want to send the baby back, but if they have to put you on pain meds and no one is with you to help when needed, they take the baby to the nursery right after they give the meds to you just in case the meds make you drowsy .
when me and my sister were both born my dad literally did not let us out of his sight, as soon as we came out and got taken away he followed, he wasn't gettin his babies swapped lmao

@@belladingdong3396 yes! Even when I was working in smaller facilities, we had to validate that something wasn’t right or that the patient wasn’t just having some type of episode. Which meant ok, let’s get some stat bloodwork etc it’s so simple and could’ve been prevented. That mother missed out on special moments that another mother had with her child, the other mother too.
Exactly!
They better sue the shit out of that hospital. That’s all.
I would sue tf outta of them
Salina Asmelash Me too
@@christopheragenor4336 tbh them trying to prevent getting sued by denying the switch up just make shit even worse
OH you know a civil court will be compensate them. Hospital will settle out of court quietly with both families. My uncles 1st wife died during a surgery, it was their fault, he was awarded a huge settlement out of court. It doesn’t replace his wife though.
Salina Asmelash I would do it not because of the money just so they could listen. I can’t imagine giving birth to child and that child get switched up that’s terrible. Some of them think just because they’re doctors and nurses that they’re perfect
As a nurse - AS SOON - as a patient tells me something is 'off' I double & triple check... I have NEVER regretted the 'second guess' NEVER...
Because you are good at your job! Wish more doctors and nurses were like you
they were all definitely in on it and knew they messed up but were scared to lose their job so they were dumb enough to really think they could fool a mothers intuition by lying. I feel so bad for the mother I can’t imagine her pain
Kudos to you👍
Mashallah sis
👏❤️😇
The gaslighting this woman experienced is unacceptable. It’s never acceptable but in this case, it’s criminal.
💯

Supposing they never did the DNA test? She'd have swallowed the news she was fed and then YEARS later some medical situation brings it up
Good Lord
It’s SO disgusting, unprofessional and irritating how often some medical “professionals” outright dismiss a mother’s questions and concerns.
Yes always acting like we don’t know our own stuff lol nerve wracking fr
I saw a nurse’s interview she said she did switches 1000 of kids in her profession and she did it just for fun
@@Miavslife She shpuld be hardly punished.
She was dying of cancer or any kind of severe disease so she confessed before dying
I HATE all medical "professionals".
The fact that her first thought wasn’t her biological baby, but this baby that she has been raising and falling in love with... that’s a real mother right there. Mourning a baby that wasn’t hers ☹️
When she was talking about how they had to give her up, ugh 🥺
This couple have good hearts, they loved both children.
So very sad, but with a happy ending
True
Sign of a mother who has strong maternal instincts. Also she has a very big heart.
Something about this woman. She has such a calm nature and is so in touch with her soul. She guided herself to her real baby with her mind alone.

A mother's instinct should always prevail. What precious and dedicated parents
Not instinct. Only animals have instinct. It's a mother's intuition.

How are you doing today?.
@@nerissasandy _We are animals technically_
@@nerissasandy humans are mammals thooo and mammals have offspring. we just got the big brains. use it [logic and reasoning, critical thinking]
Yes. We know.
thank goodness Australia has that rule of not having nurseries in the hospitals. baby pops out and is required to a 20-30 Min skin bonding then they are placed in a crib next to you and they never leave the room. babies are not allowed to be held outside your room at all.
Sarah Joy that's a brilliant policy, so glad !
The hospital i delivered at had the same policy. The baby never left the room and mom or the other banded person had to be with them at all times. If you were sleeping, the baby was to be put on the side of the bed in the crib away from the door. And only released to a nurse or doctor with a pink badge.
Sarah Joy in Australia (where I birthed) if mum or bubs has undergone trauma during the birth, bubs is taken into the nursery away from mum, so although the chance of a Bub mix up is rare, it is possible.
The hospital I went to did not have a nursery. If a baby needed an incubator that was brought into the mothers room. This was a public hospital. other ladies I visited in other hospital did not have nurseries too. I asked why and they said they don't use those techniques anymore. Maybe bigger hospitals have a care room
it should be like that everywhere
I’m so glad that they both were switched with good parents. Imagine your baby being with parents who were neglectful and abusive.
Yh and you’d have to give that person their child that you’ve formed a connection with and know they are going to have a horrible life
My brain liked to blow up with that very thought. I was hated from birth so my heart was sick at the thought their baby, Moses, went to people like mine🤢
@@Auntee-Sara I'm sorry that was your experience. It is hard to heal from such a beginning. I wish you healing and peace.
In this story, it does sound like both babies went to loving families, which is no doubt why the exchange went so smoothly. Makes all the difference in the world.
@@Auntee-Sara That is horrible. I can’t imagine being hated since birth. So sorry you had to go through this. I think this could make you an exceptionally loving parent given what you must have gone through. ❤
I was thinking the very same thing
I’d sue the *uck out of that hospital. The emotional trauma caused to the mothers especially and there’s no doubt to the baby boys. Yes even at 3 months. Incompetent staff
Know All this video was made 4 years ago..
El Salvador Man. They don't give a rats ass about your lawsuits
I’m sure they did or will. The last thing he said was the “financial damage” it’s caused us. She even mentioned giving all the clothes they bought away with the child. Trust me they’re going to make sure Moses gets a real nice settlement haha
Know All 😂😂😂 of course
You're right they should be sued. And there will be no judge that wouldn't give them millions of dollars either they deserve Millions
I hate when doctors don't listen to their patients' concerns and even try to label them as crazy or doped up instead trying to go out of their way and address/resolve patients concerns immediately. In this case all they needed to say was "ok if you think this is not your baby lets do DNA test". Instead they try to tell her we don't make mistakes like that you were on meds who knows what you saw. Unbelievable 🙄
Yeah exactly.
Always believe your gut feelings.
Yes, they could’ve avoided the babies being separated from their bio family from three months to an hour if they would have checked within that 4 day hospital stay!
Medical gaslighting
Yes they think we are crazy but we are right!
I've had too many doctors & dentists ignore my concerns.
Aww what a sweet mom? She was crying for the baby she gave away that isn't hers. Wow mom's love
Artime Silk she had him since birth what do you expect
LUCRETIA TEPES uhh and there are people who abandon their kids and people who give 0 shits about a kid when they find out they're not genetically related
Scarlett Whisperer that's why she called her a good mom. Because so many would immediately want to get the baby that wasn't theirs off of their hands to get their real baby. instead, she wanted to keep both (a tad selfish, but I understand where she was coming from).
Scarlett Whisperer
Why shouldn't they be parents? Because they got emotionally attached to a baby they were repeatedly told were theirs?
Nice logic.
Chinonye Ekwenchi lol
That baby is living the most peaceful moments of his life.
In his mother's lap.
Debjyoti Haldar yes I can see that
cattleya z lol
I thought exactly the same thing once when my baby nephew was sleeping in his mum's lap.
Debjyoti Haldar unless the babies dead, OMG IM JK 😂😂
They couldn’t have checked? Why wouldn’t they listen to her? A mother always knows.
Women’s feelings perceived as crazy and being dismissed, as usual.
To a medical professional it would sound like she's just drowsy or suffering from post natal depression. Realistically, PND is much more common than accidental switches.
Absolutely! I am a midwife and in my previous job we checked the baby's ID band and cot card against the mother's wristband before baby left mother's side, checked the baby's ID against the cot card before leaving the nursery, and checked baby's ID against mother's wristband when baby is returned to mother. We did this EVERY TIME baby left mother's side. Babies had 2 types of ID one of which was a plain number which mother read and signed a form for on admission while she had all her wits about her. ALL BABIES had an ID band on all limbs! This story is insane!
Theola Marshall-Bernard Thank you for not making us think we’re crazy to think the hospital’s response was bizarre. And actionable.
Agree
Never question a mother's intuition!
Question everything, mothers can be wrong
She is such a sweet and loving mother. She still unconditionally loved the other baby like her own even after she found out the baby wasn't her's. 😢
Yeah. Thank God they found their real baby :)
Clorox..I think she's a loving mother...I did find her to be a little selfish to think she could keep both babies!!... saying she was hoping she could keep both babies..NOT giving the other mother a thought or any sympathy..
I realise she loved this little boy..I also know the other mother was loving the baby she had..
I honestly believe one of my first thoughts would have been the other mother as well..
for one she has my baby.. this is going to be heartbraking for both of us..
I can't believe until the solicitor said the other baby has to go back to his mother!! that this lady believed she was keeping both of these babies.this was a couple of hours before she had to hand over the baby to his mother!! and this lady was willing to keep both babies!!
Two babies two mother's and each of these mother had the right to have their babies back!. NOT one mother keeps both...
ma wee chickadee WOW!!! Are you really that judgmental and lacking in compassion??? The woman was on an emotional rollercoaster. She had loved a child as her own unconditionally for several months. Even nursed that child. Then her real child is found. Sounds like she simply needed some time to adjust to that reality before having to face the reality that finding her own child meant losing the child that had been in her care. It wasn’t a matter of her “selfishly” desiring to keep both children. Seems like she simply hadn’t had time to absorb the fact that as she gained one child she was about to lose another. Have some compassion! After what she went through, I think she earned the benefit of a doubt.
@@ReneeDeborah couldn't have said it better
Yes she's a lovely Mom
She's better at telling stories than people on the news usually are.
Arturo Stojanoff maybe because it was something she had gone through personally. And something she believed in so much that she had fought to do like getting them tested for
Arturo Stojanoff She told it with such gentleness! What a beautiful woman!!
Thats b’coz she spoke from her heart.
Arturo Stojanoff .... because she is speaking from the heart. What a sad, yet uplifting story.. xx
All I heard was a repeat over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over how something made them feel.
They should sue the shit out of that hospital!!!
Christina Waters I was looking for a comment like this so I could immediately like it. Like how can a hospital do this? How disorganized could they be to switch up babies?
Nola Girl This may have been a human trafficking attempt. Remember the nurse said "you're child will be dark"
The babies are so different looking! They both have entirely different skin colors. Why would you not double check if you were unsure who's baby was who's if you were a nurse? Admit a mistake early before it spirals out of control.
From time to time the hospital's mix up the babies and put the wrong tags on their ankles, or another malfunction could occur. Remember no one's perfect, but it is understandable to be upset.
Katherine Fotopoulos typically.. skin color (melanomin?)darkens in time. The difference would not necessarily show up for a while.
THE main problem here is that the Staff ignored the mother's concerns.
A lesson for everyone here is... pay attention to your own gut feelings.
Even when you had doubts this precious one was your baby
you still gave him a mother's love.
You and your husband loved him.
You both gave him such a sweet sweet start in life and I am
sure your son was so loved as well by the other parents.
God Bless you all!
How can you be quite sure?
I’m proud of her for standing up and following her gut and so disappointed that people around her wouldn’t listen.
Yes!!!!
So true.
Many new momz would have been upset with themselves for their disbelieveing.
....especially because it seemed
EVERY PERSON SHE KNEW INCLUDING FAMILY TOLD HER SHE WAS WRONG .
I THINK SHE GOT STRENGTH FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT .
THEY ARE BELIEVERS....

I wish she would give me some of that calm. I am way to animated 🤪

That's the medical industry. Honestly, people would have lied to cover it up had they known. Bless this woman. I would want heads to roll.
@@kimgodwin29 still has a nightmare of the Nurse did not want me to breastfeed my baby, as she thinks, my baby should have botel in a hospital when I wish to feed her and later dr reminded me I was right when had to walk in pain of cesarean to watch she does not cry from hunger
Her husband has such a great trust on his wife that he never doubted that child...In the video itself he is like just looking at her all the time with so much love.
363 lieks and no comms? Relly??!
@@A.Singularity -- Right? I wonder why? It's so emotional. I think they handled it really well together. They come across as good caring people. They really cared about that other child, too, & they're not angry & twisted up about what happened - no blaming, talk of vengeance, suing, or being victims. They were both able to really talk about their feelings in a heartfelt, open, & clear way as well -- the gentleman, especially. Maybe this is so rare we don't know what to say...
I know🥺🥺
Maritess Hoy You’re right, but I hope they do sue. To just tell the mother she is mistaken about her baby without investigating a possible switch is arrogant and unforgivable. And letting it go can mean this can happen to another set of parents.
I hope I find a partner who looks at me the same way he looks at her. This is true love and it seems very hard to come by theses days

Meh..I sincerely beg to differ. The mom is indeed lovely, but dad is clearly an ass hat and if you can't see that, well... sad for us all that there are scant few parents and no class at any school that teaches discernment, which is a character trait you clearly lack.
There’s something so pure about the mother’s energy. Just loving and radiating good energy.
Vivian Lee what asian upbringing ?
She’s my teacher, she’s from El Salvador and did have a rough childhood. Today she’s such a huge blessing and Moses runs around in her office all day He’s funny
She looks like a Latina
I sorta thought that too until she wanted to keep both babies then I said to myself this chick is nuts
Ya'll mean Latuna upbringing cause she's a Latina obviously.
Why don’t people listen to women?! Doctors, nurses and hospital staff,NOBODY listened to her! 😡
That is typical of doctors too.
Exactly!
Two years, four hospitalizations, doctors kept saying my symptoms were all in my head. The last doctor used the exact words 'your imagination'. Turns out I had a defective medical device. No question about misdiagnosis of a disease - it was a document-able, real physical malfunction. Who figured it out? A woman tech, of course, who believed what I was saying. Women are subject to so much medical abuse it's criminal.
I know it happens all the time!
Betsy Leifeste Only use female doctors, at least they won’t think ur being a hystericaI woman or something sexist
I’m glad it took 3 months not 3 years or more 🎉 God bless them 🙏🏼
Should Never have been
3 months seem short but it is loss to the parents and child. Loss of time for bonding, for watching your child grow and progress.

Never underestimate the instincts of a mother people.
yes of course you are right.
Yes true I believe
If my mother's instincts were always right, I would have been kidnapped or killed at least a thousand times in my childhood. I can assure I wasn't kidnapped or killed even once.
So true! Never underestimate a mother’s instinct!! Thank God she was able to get her baby back and God bless her for loving and taking care of that baby even though she knew it really wasn’t hers! What an amazing story!!! It’s scary to think that this actually could happen and I’m so glad that everything worked out the way it should have. It’s definitely God’s work.
The baby being black may have been a clue?
It's so sad when doctors think they know more than a mother's instinct. Mother's instinct is stronger than science.
Lisalynn's World Inam not sure Mothers instinct in stronger than science. Doctors does not equate science. the science is the Dna test not the doctors word.
Lisalynn's World right, what told then the truth at the end? The DNA test, which is science. Even the mother went along for a while. Neglectful nurses are not science.
Lisalynn's World Yes it is, I agree! :)
Though many mothers & other women throughout history have lied about things like this, stolen other women's babies, and such. Simply being a woman does NOT in any way automatically make one honest, sane, trustworthy, caring or loving. Sadly.
Lisalynn's World Had nothing to do with science. It is the nurses who were too stupid to bring her the right baby. If it wasn't for science ( DNA testing ) she would never get her baby back.
I completely agree. When my grandmother was giving birth, she told the doctor something was seriously wrong. He kept dismissing her, and she kept telling him something was wrong. It turned out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and it choked him to death. She grieved for that baby her entire life. I think doctors just get jaded and stop listening to their patients after a few years.
I believe the hospital should be held to account. This must be heartbreaking for parents having to go through this. That couple were lucky but what about the ones lost forever, never knowing they were switched. Something needs to be put in place to prevent this from happening or massive compensation should be given to the families as a way to stop this from repeating. Good luck to the family.
The hospital was in El Salvador, I don't think much can be done.
In the UK, an ID bracelet is put on the child as soon as it is born, before it is taken out of the mother's sight.
It is incredible to me that this isn't normal practice in the US!
@@ruthgiles8926 I thought it was the normal practice United States, my mother still has the ID bracelet from me.
This is crazy.. the baby should have been tagged immediately he was born.
Milimo Sweta they do that. But, I guess this was just a "mistake"
In some countries they do an ink foot-print of the baby the moment it's born. This goes way back to before there were DNA tests.
C. L. Audio true they did when I delivered too. But this story is completely crazy
Its negligence
Yes note to self am gonna tag my baby quickly on my own next time
they both seem to be so sweet people.
This happen to a Polish couple. The hospital in Ohio gave them a dead baby. They went to Poland and buried the wrong baby. Later, they found out their baby was a live and that baby belong to someone else. I also felt for the other couple. DOUBLE LAW SUIT!!!

The interviewer in this is such a great listener. He does not probe with unnecessary questions but gives the parents the space to tell their story. Some time that can be so healing. Someone holding space for you to tell your story without interruptions.
I agree. He appears very calm & considerate. Silence is so important in these situations. It gives the interviewees an opportunity to process & reflect. It also shows respect for them- they are being listened to rather than talked at....
Yes true
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼so true
You are right, he is doing his job the right way.
_Shro, you are correct, and you put it very well. I do not like it either when the interviewer tells the interviewee that it is okay to cry when they see them crying, and as a viewer at home, I am like, of course it is okay to cry, you do not have to tell them that. This interviewer did not tell her it was okay to cry, so with this and especially what you said in mind, the interviewer gets a mark of ten out of ten
Thank God each child went to wonderful parents.
Stupid hospital. Hope she sues.
This happened in Viet Nam too :-s poor babies
Joo-hyun Cha this happened in El Salvador and she did sue but I guess they settled off court it was a big deal in here they followed the case every day non stop until they found the baby.
Joo-hyun Cha ikr
Baby Bluelie yes.. actually it was here in my country el Salvador. .that was a big case

I'm not the 'suing' type but in this case, its justified.
No parent should ever experience this.
I would sue the heck out of them, They were reckless and irresponsible to say the least.
Absolutely! Shame on hospital and all the doctors involved here. Never question a mother's intuition - it's a God's given gift. ❤️🙏
@@RahulSharma-bl8bg well said
Can you imagine as a first time mother nursing and loving a child but at the same time feeling something is not right? A mother's instincts are powerful and should never be ignored!
Suing them for money it's not going to do anything all it does is make you seem like a greedy person that money will make them punished.
The father is so in love with his wife and child that he did not analyze that he look different. They are both lovely and so lucky to have each other. :)
are lis I couldn’t help crying while watching this (as a mother you completely identify with absolutely every single emotion that she expresses) it’s absolutely ridiculous that this negligence STILL happens!!
You are describing willful blindness and applauding it.
many just float down the river of life never to notice anything unless something hits them over the head and prevents their comfort of floating, then they begin to think about perhaps they may notice - but even then, not always. I will never comprehend it.
@olivi doen th
are lis yes..You can see the pain yet happiness in his eyes. :)
They’re such an amazing couple . They way she describes everything is so beautiful and so soft spoken and then the dad saying he wants justice in the situation. Great people
I agree with Hailey Nicole they are amazing couple with so much patuence and behaving like goid human beings May God bless them .
I feel all babies should have a DNA test done when they leave hospital to avoid a huge mistake like this.
This is the best comment I have read! Thank you!!! A freaking possible solution!
Yeah and questions of paternity too
They put a security braclets on baby that matches the mom's immediately after birth. If the baby even comes within 10 feet or so of the exit doors an alarm goes off and lock down initiated. They dont mess around anymore. Its very hard for babys to be switched at birth now. Not all hospitals have this security but most do
It's the best
Imagine if the DNA test report is swapped as well?
The way her husband listened to her looking at her eyes and believing her is so much amazing...that's the love and trust between them....
They look so in love with each other.
Men do not love women, they love porn
I agree with you he really seems a very caring husband
I seen that too. His deep interest is so sweet.
That was my first thought. The way he looks at her so beautiful. So sad they went through this but so happy that they found their son.
In my country there is a saying that a mother knows her child 9 months more than others.
Love that
S o True!
Whitch country is this?
India
And that's a fact. 💯
your country's name is "Duh"
Giving back that baby must have put a huge hole in their hearts and messed with their emotions. This is a horrible tragedy

Maybe they don't want to go public, some people are more reserved.
Mothers instinct is very strong we need to stop letting people tell us different. I still have strong instinctive feelings even for my grandkids.
booo huuu
Not much instinct is needed when you are given two different babies in less than 24 hours.
instinct is not always right.There's this mother who never treated her son as hers claiming he was switched at birth turned out he is indeed her son whom she abused verbally and emotionally throughout his existence.
@@horrormovielover6725 To that I would say that she probably didnt even have motherly instincts. Some women just do not. It seems that drugs (no excuse) seems to have a dehumanizing effect on people as well. A lot of people get on drugs and just dont care about anything else anymore
There are always exceptions to every rule.
Motherly instincts are very strong. Hats off to this lady for her perseverance 🙏🏻
Yup
I am so sorry this happened to these 2 babies and the parents..... How sad to go through this.
That was a total negligence of the staff's part, they should pay the damage that they brought to the family. The saddest part of this is giving up the baby that she took care for 3 months and I understand where she's coming from. Lesson learned is you should trust your motherly instinct because mom knows best.
you'd be surprised how common mixups like these are. happened to me with my parents. thankfully my dad discovered it before they took me home. we were born the same day, in the same delivery room, and were given the same first name. the nurse didn't even bother to double-check our last names on our wristbands to ensure each baby was with the right parents, it was just, "here you go".
I'm sure whoever was responsible was found and paid the price.
a mother always knows, that's for sure.
@@nichegoseberazdvatri staff in hospitals work unsocial hours under stress all the time and cannot remember vividly what happened 5months earlier. So in practice its buck passing and the weakest link gets the blame. The ones REALLY responsible rarely gets punished, on the contrary they get moved to or promoted to new jobs in similar environment (sometimes overseas with juicy expat packages)
I doubt it.
How traumatizing for everyone involved. I hope a good lawyer is watching. This hospital deserves to be sued.
So glad the babies are with the right families now. Moses is a sleeping champ. He was knocked out the whole time 😄
Dymond Kitty that's Moses. Jacob is the baby they gave back
Whichever.... you knew which one I was talking about 😂
Dymond Kitty
Dymond Kitty yup
Dymond Kitty 😂😂😂He was just... gone.
I'm so glad the babies adjusted to real parents peacefully. Also the love that continued to be expressed for the other baby is worth our public viewing of this story that I feel not too many people would have had the capacity to extend during this horrific hospital error. Í hope they can back track the steps of how it happened to prevent it from ever happening again. Such a happy ending. In that the hospital had an excellent recovery.🧸
i feel like she still loves the other baby and has a piece missing from this whole experience.
I agree she needs to sue the hospital for messing her head up!
Exactly because she didn't get to bond and nature him in those first few weeks.
Same here and I feel it from him too.
A th-cam.com/video/Go9CBScv8JA/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
A if it’s true that’s very sad and also unfair on her.
After I had my first baby I went to get her from the nursery and threw this huge window with so many babies I immediately recognized my child it's like my eyes went right to her. A mother knows her child. I wish Drs and nurses would listen.
I gave birth to my child and then went to my room a bit later. My child was taken away for me to rest for a few hours and when the babies were wheeled out of the nursery to the rooms there were so many babies crying in the hall. I was only a little awake but I could hear my baby out of all the rest. I had only held him once but knew his sound, his smell. Moms KNOW.
Right
@@JustTheTruth-Please qq
They drugged and took her baby right after the baby was born she didn’t even get a chance to look at him so shut up
Reina S apparently you didn’t listen to the story... you need to shut up
NEVER IGNORE MAMA INSTINCT. Ignore those who don't take you seriously.
Yes!
West Side Story
That was supposed to say what a sad story! Speak text!
I love that the mother did not let it go. She did not have peace and would not until she did that DNA test. Good for her because she really saved the day in this story. But you can also see they both genuinely fell in love with the other child and it's heartwarming to see that they still want to stay in touch with him as he grows up. I think they have handled this as best as anyone in their position could!
just like all the women who refuse vaccines and end up getting forced into it by their doctors and then their children end up with autism. It’s crazy.
They are such a lovely couple and their own baby highly resembles them.
Hmm yes you're right.. You're do smart and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬
How are you doing today?.
I love her. She is such a sweet and sincere person.
That nurses & docters diden't listen to her is beyond me.
I love her too - you can tell she is a loving, caring and nurturing lady - the fact that she sent this little boy with ALL of his clothes - from what she said about them getting home and not having any clothing to put her biological son in. 😢 Clearly the family that had raised her biological son kept all of his clothes - they did not think to do the same. I would love to hear the other family's side of the story.
My wife had me follow the nurses where ever they took our son .
☺️☺️
So smart 😭
I refused to go to a hospital that requires the baby to go to the nursery.
Exactly.
Same
Don’t question a mother’s intuition, if a mom thinks something is wrong, there’s probably something wrong. Especially with their children.
EXACTLY!!
What about the mothers who leave New born in a bin outside, what intuition is that
Very odd couple.
@@garrieg3485 yeh we use bin
@@anwarabegum4299 thought so, I just wanted to make sure👍 you also had a very good question.
A mother knows like no other. Her instincts are miraculous in nature.
This happened to my brother. He was switched with another baby. Good thing my older sister noticed the birth mark on my brother's armpit and said that it's not the same baby.
Wtf???? I don't want to have a baby at a hospital ever now.
Omg!
@@coffeepandacat yeah it was 49 years ago. Good thing my older sister was very observant at a young age. My mom wasn’t even aware she was holding a different baby.
I will be having someone take pictures too. Inspection type. Ty.
Wow! Smart kid! Good thing your parents listened to her. Some parents would not believe their child. Amazing!
Thats why every husband should be with his wife in labour room
true! to follow the nurse with the baby!
That's not possible in El Salvador where this happened. 😔
@@unmillondeamigos1075 I had a baby in a foreign country and searched until I found a doc (couldn't find any midwives) willing to let me call ALL the shots, which included the baby staying with me and me leaving early.
agreed!
Kristy Bharti in Canada yes. They hand the baby right away to the father if csection or birth to mom. Baby is with the parents the whole entire time. But in case they baby needs medical attention the father can follow the baby.
ok, but why don't people listen to women
she told everyone that he is not her child
Nurses and doctors rarely listen to the mother unfortunately
post partum they say
If she was my friend I’d believe her
Because some women do have some delusional phase after birth
th-cam.com/video/FDZPoAouh9M/w-d-xo.html
This is scary as all my kids were preemies and taken away immediately without me even seeing them like that after birth.
This practice is barbaric, why take the baby away? This doesn't happen in England.
I had a preemie that was moved frequently within the NICU & his bracelet was too loose to stay on well. My son has a unique ear lobe that curls a little. I checked every day for the two months he was in the NICU to make sure I was taking the right baby home 🙂 I'm so glad this couple were reunited with their son.
@@sinatra7407 it depends on the situation, if it’s a preemie baby they probably have to be rushed to NICU, if they’re not they could die. Or it could be to prioritise the mother. She said she had a C-section, which is pretty hard going in itself, you need to be stitched up and cared for. But you also don’t know why she had a C-section there could have been complications that meant she needed extra care. Birth can be pretty messy and doctors/nurses are often just doing what they can. They should’ve taken her seriously and done a DNA test in the hospital tho
@@leocervidae what you say could all be true, but ensuring the right baby goes to the right family is absolutely crucial and there has to be fail safe systems in place which are all part of a reasonable standard of service.
@@sinatra7407 they have a NICU bed set up to take them back to the NICU right away and hook up all the things they’ll need.
They need to sue those nurses who told her the baby she was holding was hers
What a sweet couple ❤️
They better sue them
Um, this unfortunately happens more than you think out of 4 million births 28,000 get switched every year, overall this translates to about 1 mistake per every 1,000 baby transfers.
Yven Saint Lauren where do these figures come from please . I am intrigued
Quick google search no need to do alot of research
This gave me chills when she was crying, I can feel her pain as a mom
Hey, how are you and the weather there?
@@frankrobert4897 b quiet
I'm not a mom and I'm crying
She is incredibly strong. I got chills, too! And teared up. 😢 The hospital just tried to hush it up. They knew they made a mistake.
She is a lovely mother and wife and he is the right husband for her.
@Magnetic Vortex yes it's typical of united statians, and texans.
Magnetic Vortex if this shit happened to you you’d be pretty pissed too?? They deserve the money dumbasses
@@nevereverstopsinging No, it shouldn't be about money. It's about taking the necessary steps to find how it happened and cannot happen again. This is not about getting rich because you were wronged.
@@goognamgoognw6637 "united statians" It's called "Americans" And Texans are in the united states so they're part of the same group "Americans" so no need to double specify. It's either Typical of Americans or it's typical texans...
@@Hello-uv3nz Your naiveté betrays your green age (or undevelopped culture) in your inability to detect the well intended and correct naming : United Statians, that befits you. Indeed, let me teach you who you really are straight from the dictionary : "A United Statian (or simply Statian) is a person from the United States of America, since the term American refers to any person in the western hemisphere."
A Columbian is an American too and so is a Sho Shon or Alconquian Amerindian. But you, you are the descendant of the group that calls itself the United states under its constitution and is most correctly named a United-Statian, which is more defining and precise than loosely calling you an american Like a Brazilian. This is your first lesson.
Second lesson that you are in need of : English style. A "Texan american" is correct language style. The intended redundancy is not incorrect when it is a sub-categorization like Apache Indian or New south wales Australian, or Parisian French.
Now if you had any manners you would thank me for teaching you who you are and proper English. But no, If you want my respect you will have to teach me something in French. Yes, you can not, I am afraid.
Happened to me, if I hadn't been alert enough to know I'd had a boy, they'd have given me a baby girl. They insisted I was wrong. I kept insisting they were wrong. Long story short, they finally fixed it. Don't count on the hospital staff to know or admit. Fight for your right to your own baby, cause it happens, it does.
Yes, once your real baby goes home with someone else, chances are you’ll never see it again.
Typical that the mother would be ignored as being "hysterical," "under the influence of medication," etc. This is the type of misogyny that women experience constantly in the USA.
The birth was in EL Salvador.
Still typical in the US
Not only in US it’s all over
I can't roll my eyes more at you.
@@laurenattard8460 I know from personal experience.
I hope Jacob and Moses get to know each other as they grow up. That's a pretty powerful bond to share with another child.
I love how the baby is just sleeping through this
XD
Hes a total mood😆
Zaed zain oh my gosh I’m calling the father-

Zaed zain well now you know it’s not..?
So happy the babies were both in good hands
Why do people not trust a mother’s instinct?!! The urge to be ‘right’ & the fear of following ‘process & protocol’ is disturbing.
This is happening rn in the world
Unsurprisingly, it’s often wrong.
My wife and I were so lucky that our children received brackets before leaving the delivery room, why can't this be standard protocol. Now I'm wondering if a mix-up occurred in the hospital my children were born at.
Nurses are followers . They take orders . Not allowed to think
Is not her baby
This happened with my sister when she gave birth to her baby girl she noticed her baby was bald, well they took her baby to the nursery and next thing you know they bring back her baby with a cap on and all bundled and clean she starts to breast feed it and takes off the cap and notices the baby had a head full of dark hair she called the nurse in and told her this was not her baby the nurse then told her it was and she was just medicated and it was her baby my sister insisted it was not her baby and put up a fight sure enough they had switched her baby with another. Thank god my sister fought it and demanded they give her back her baby.
evalena griego , goodness... where did this happen to your sister? Thank goodness she noticed.
evalena griego wow, shocking!
They need to put those little bracelets on them more or less as soon as they're born to confirm their identity.
Bullshit. You just want attention.
evalena griego I
evalena griego wow
The moment she started crying I felt like to sue hospital myself.
Quickest our of court settlement ever.
Good thing they made the change and got back the correct baby. I have seen awful stories with people not doing the correct flip and it never ends well.
At least they found out while the kids were still small, so they didn't go through a big trauma they would remember
Amen to that.!! So very true.!!
No, they babies remember subconsciously. It definitely impacts. Even rejection by birth hs an impact.
it does happen yes
Yes, there is a case in Russia were the boys were raised by different families.
That's the truest comment I've read in a long time. Saved alot of heartache ♥
These people should really adopt a child or maybe even two. You can tell she loves being a mother and is possibly quite good at it.
that's what i was thinking
Don't judge a book by its cover. You don't know her. Joke ...........
Lightening up the mood.
I'm sure she will be great mother to all her children.
Fatima Aziz in sure the commenter was just saying that she loves so much that she would be a great person to adopt babies, since she loved a baby who wasn't her own.

As most people are aware this happens, and has happened many times. Security measures in hospitals has improved over the in order to prevent this from happening. This was a fantastic story. Thank you.
That's why dads should watch their newborns like a hawk in the hospital.
bekindist yeah my husband goes everywhere in the hospital. Or they have to remain in the room. Just for security and safety
bekindist lol yes! I make sure my husband keep an eagle eye on my babies
Right because they’re not recovering from giving birth so that makes perfect sense
Anna Hendrix They can't have men wandering around the hospital, there is no reason for any man to go ''everywhere''.
AGREE!! The baby should never be left alone!
She is so naturally nurturing and you can tell she was born to be a Mother! The Father as well! Very sweet couple and family. I hope they get justice, no sense in all that trauma, that will last forever!

These poor parents. Lost their initial bonding with their baby. I hope the hospital gets sued big time for such an emotional roller coaster
She wanted both babies she said “ idc idc I’ll love & take care of both these babies like they are my own, but find my real baby”
What a sickening story. When the mom described the heartache of having to give up the other child, and then the joy and relief of finally getting their own back...I can't imagine having to go through such emotional trauma.
I hope both mothers sue the hospital

I wish the other baby's parents to be interviewed as well. 😁 To hear their story as well.
I think they were happy with what they had
My exact wish!!!!
@@lilyoftheflorida1258 I heard an interview with the other mother and she was more easy going and not as emotionally attached to the child that wasn't hers. She had suspected and expressed doubts from the beginning as well which should have made the nurses take notice but they didn't. She saw her baby at the judges office and said, "Thats my baby." She got a fat settlement just like the other couple and it was deserved but she seemed to take it all in stride more than this mother. People are all different. I don't judge her for it.
@@Kaththee Where is that interview?
I totally agree with you
What a sweet and loving family. I know these mistakes are exceedingly rare. But mistakes like this are emotionally and mentally catastrophic to the families affected. I hope a positive change to prevent these mistakes can come from this.
Glad he didn't accused his wife of cheating before they even did the DNA test.
Deborah Samuels she tested herself...not her husband.
He can't cos the child didn't even match with her DNA
Omg right??!! Lmaooo didn't think of that till now 🤣
She was confused herself.
He is clearly in love with her.
I hope they sued hospital!
Same here.

@qui chi shut up
Yet they had no concern for the other couple, it was all about self ,their baby and even the sick thought they could keep both children, not a thought of the other parents who were also victims!
The babies were probably fine. They don't remember anything. What makes you think that the other mistreated the baby at all?
Actually you clearly dont appreciate early bonding between mother and child,even if we dont remember things,they're stored in the subconscious mind,so dont assume all is well.
@Michele Lewis I wonder if your first thought upon waking every morning is, "How can I manufacture some rightious indignation to draw attention to myself?"
That can't possibly be far from the truth. The sooner you admit it to yourself, the sooner you can begin becoming the person you were truly meant to be.
Trust the process.

You know that that family made/make great parents just by the way they talk

So they thought to pack up all the childs clothes but the other family didn't. Speaks volumes of this woman's heart.
Scary to think how many times this might have happened before without anybody knowing.
Here is a true scary story 11/20/1997 I was leaving the hospital with my mom My sister had been there all day & many hours later had my niece.As Mom & I were walking this man had a pink diaper bag & was walking very fast & 2 cops came running one grabbed him one took the diaper bag opened it & there was a baby. I promise this is true.The next day we went to see my sister & my niece My Mom took a black sharpie & mad a black dot on each foot.So yes crazy thing's happen yes these day's they are more careful with hospital tags on baby cord & bracelet's on the parent's. But still thing's can happen.
much love to all.
It actually happens a lot
This must happen a lot
There was a story about a girl and her parents killed in a car accident. It turned out the girl was switched at birth because the people who raised her were poor and the other baby had a heart problem.
The one with the heart problem had well off parents who took great medical care;however they divorced because while looking for a donor matches of marrow the DNA said impossible for the dad to be the dad. Yet didn't acknowledge the mother was not the mother. After suing the hospital the family learned their daughter died in a car accident.
Jean Medley Was that the case in Virginia? I read about that.
People should've given her a test right away instead of telling her she was crazy.
Indeed, she should of called a DNA law office and had them show up at the hospital. My heart breaks for this family and the irresponsible not needed trauma they went thru.
This is why they don't have nurseries in Canada anymore, the baby stays in the room with the mother now.
Agreed, it doesn't make sense to send every baby to the nursery
+john 321 They do that to let the mother recuperate from just giving birth and they have to clean the baby and check to be sure nothing is wrong with the baby. But especially some women can be in labor for a long time then the energy it takes to push the baby out is very exhausting even more so if they had to have a C-section cause they are given medications for the pain and such. The nurses were just extremely negligent , they are supposed to put a band on the babies ankle with the room and mothers name. I dunno about all hospitals or what they do but the hospital I was at this was their standard protocol. They even put a security monitor on the babies ankle and if the child is taken within so many feet an alarm will go off.
In a lot of german hospitals you can decide, whether to give your child to the nursery or keep it in your room.
But usually they immediately put a name tag on the baby (little bracelet or something like this). So maybe the nurses at this hospital were really stressed this day.
+Sarah R. That's true but they ALWAYS take the baby to the nursery at first so they can fully exam the baby and clean the amniotic fluid off the baby check for jaundice, things like that. They give your child a small check-up in the room with you and if he/she is breathing fine and not in a life or death situation they let you hold your child first and take some pictures before taking him/her to the nursery. But after they bring the baby back to the room it's up to you if you want to send the baby back, but if they have to put you on pain meds and no one is with you to help when needed, they take the baby to the nursery right after they give the meds to you just in case the meds make you drowsy .
when me and my sister were both born my dad literally did not let us out of his sight, as soon as we came out and got taken away he followed, he wasn't gettin his babies swapped lmao
There something where my mom was given to the wrong mom and my Granny was thankful awake and began saying she was the one with the name. The people then realized their mistake and gave her back her baby (which is my mom) but this was in 1960s and thankfully the doctors listened
