Not the PP. Seriously, what is WRONG with you? You think the way Sibley acted is OKAY!? You are messed up. I'm going to check with Jeff to see how many of the pro-Sibley/OP-attack comments are you. I'm guessing almost all of them. |
You don't get to know my personal medical history because the hospital accidentally gave me your baby for a few minutes. I wouldn't have wanted to talk to you if I was the other mother. |
| No one thinks the way sibley acted is OK. They think some of OP's actions in response were completely inappropriate. |
The point is you are expecting your baby to be handled by vetted people who are healthy and have been vaccinated against major illnesses. The baby goes from you to the nurse to a doctor back to you to a nurse back to you to a doctor then to your spouse or your mother back to you etc. You know at all times who handles the baby. Hospitals are dicey places. A friend of mine contracted a staph infection in her arm from a hospital bed rail. |
What Sibley did definitely NOT okay. What the author and her husband did, definitely NOT okay either. They should have contacted the Ombudsman for the hospital. BTW, I haven't made any "pro" Sibley comments on this thread. |
| Op-I am absolutely shocked at how many pps are giving you such a hard time. Also shocked by the incredibly unprofessional way it was handled. |
| Bringing attention to the fact that one of the major delivery hospitals switched babies and then tried to cover it up is totally ok. What Sibley did is not ok. |
That's not what happened. |
You are crazy and it's SO showing. OP was relieved to find out that nothing worse happened than her baby got formula. She didn't track the mother down bc she was worried about here baby being given formula. She tracked the mother down bc she had no idea what happened and she could tell the hospital was lying. If the hospital was lying to me, yes I'd be super worried and try to figure out the truth from someone other hanging e hospital. |
I love it! |
What did she expect? That her baby contracted ebola from this other mother? Her baby was obviously fine and unharmed. The point is, if the hospital isn't being truthful, they have a process for complaints, inquiries. Going around a maternity ward b/c of the hospital's mix up, asking other new moms intrusive questions is rude. Grilling a mother who was brought the wrong baby about her health status also rude. I agree with PP, the other mom handled it with grace. |
| FORMULA?!?!?! I'm sorry, your baby's virgin gut is ruinied now. Best just give her back to that other mom and try again with a new baby. Maybe you can try harder and give birth at home next time. |
Did you even read the article? The OP was relieved that the other mom had not breastfed her baby. |

But none of their processes are working! Their process does not include a keystone cops style cover-up, presumably. It's also ironic that so many pps are suggesting op should be all roll with the punches about her newborn's walkabout are acting like asking other new moms questions (admittedly a bit awkward/slightly weird) was like going in like there like a Hannibal Lector. |
