You know what’s sad? The fact we’re to a point where it’s actually a very very good idea to get a DNA test on the baby before taking them home. Not for infidelity, but in case the baby was swapped, both by accident or maliciously.
I’m trying hard to find a fact that its getting worse, but seems like the last research done on the temporary/permanently swapped babies was 1998, and the handling of babies has improved greatly since then.
Have you read something that makes it sound worse?
Perhaps naticus is paranoid. I’ve birthed three children and remember before each baby leaves my sight, nurses give a matching scannable ID wristband to mother and baby.
I’ve just heard too many stories about it happening. Does that mean it’s really happening? Not sure, but I’ve also not looked into confirmed reports, and there’s a lot of controls put into place for a reason. I just usually err on the side of caution when it comes to simple human error as well as the very real threat of human trafficking.
I didn’t let my baby out of my sight the entire time my wife was recovering in the hospital. Absolutely not risking a swap or kidnapping, regardless of how likely or unlikely it is. I’d recommend everyone do that if it’s feasible to have someone always watching the baby during cleaning and testing.
