Baby switched at birth at Sibley

[Anonymous]

Ouch. You guys are really harsh.

OP, I would have been worried too. Thanks for sharing and sorry this happened to you.

So the bands don't have names on them at all? At Gtown my band and my baby's band both had my name on them (along with patient number, I think).

And then you harassed this other woman - who, OH GOD - gave your precious snowflake a few ML's of formula, guess she's a worse mother than you - without even acknowledging SHE had the same experience?

Nutjob.

Reading is hard when you're dumb. OP explicitly states in the article that the other mom "expressed her panic over where her baby was when she had mine."

Yeah. I understand why Karin wrote the article. She thinks of herself as a novelist. Rich bitch thinks she's Carrie from Sex in the City: http://www.berkshireweddingcollective.com/real-weddings-in-the-berkshires-page/2014/7/2/karin-and-craigs-berkshires-wedding-at-the-mount

She's not trying to help. She's wanting name recognition.

You googled her? Why isn't she allowed to write about her experience? Why are you calling her a rich b?

OP, I agree with you--ignore the haters.

I also can't believe you hounded the poor other woman and got all up in her face about formula feeding! Sorry but you come across as a complete crazy person.

Very brave of you to post on here, OP. If you're a regular visitor to this forum, surely you expected to get a few "preious snowflake" responses. Sorry for those angry women.

I'm also sorry you had to experience this. What if this had happened right before the other mom was discharged and they had left with your baby? Or if she had breastfed your baby and was sick? I don't believe so much in the saying, "All's well that ends well," especially where babies and health issues are concerned. I would have been beyond pissed had this happened to me, and I am generally a pretty laid-back person. Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised anyone chooses to deliver at Sibley after everything you read on here.

OP, you lost me at the Ebola rhetoric. Seriously?

That being said, this is partly why I chose to deliver in a hospital with no nursery. I don't think you can send your child to a nursery and be totally shocked when this happens.

I am the prior GW poster. Now that I recall, GW definitely has names on the baby band at least.

Yes, I would wonder why Sibley wouldn't do that.

This isn't so unique; at least this mom used formula.

Where did you see that? She had every right to find out what exactly happened to her child while this stranger had her. Are you insane???

OP - please disregard the bitches here. I would have been mortified if someone gave my child to a stranger no matter how short the "visit" was. It is absolutely okay that you spoke to this woman since the hospital was not giving you the whole story. I am sorry that this happened to you. They should definitely have better security measures and maybe now they will.

Give me a break. She clearly thought his other womans experience pales in comparison to hers. You know, despite it being the exact same. I have a feeling the other woman isnt writing articles about it and posting all over the Internet.

Perhaps you should research what switched at birth means.
