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."

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.

Dummy. It wasn't the "exact same," because at no point did OP get a not-her-baby and feed it before realizing it wasn't hers. As far as we know, other mom's baby was never given to anyone but other mom.

The other mom did. Then OP was LIED TO about what had happened.

Not at all the same, you jerk.

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.

I seem to remember them checking name, number and gender every time at Sibley. Those days are a little hazy, I might not be remembering correctly. I do clearly remember obsessively checking the birthmark on my baby's arm to confirm to myself that he was mine, though.

I just delivered at sibley and they did check names, no idea why that didn't happen for OP.

Presumably, they checked names because all this shit went down. You realize that, right, PP?

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.

Oh give me a fucking break. No, you don't ever have the right to track down and harass another patient. Not even to confirm your precious snowflake was fed formula, horrifying as that is to contemplate.

The fact that you keep calling this child her special snowflake is ridiculous. I won't what you would have done if this happened to you? Did you hand your newborn over to strangers on the metro? Did they feed your special snoflake?

Didn't think so.

I wouldn't have played detective to track down and harass an innocent party, that's for damn sure.

Where does it say she harassed her? I get that you think it's no big deal, but simply talking to someone is a far cry from harassing them.

OP, I gave birth in Shady Grove Hospital, a decade ago. My newborn was lying next to me when two very strange looking young women came and asked if I wanted the baby to go to the nursery. I said "no". I was not sleepy and I wanted to nurse my baby some more, besides they really looked strange and I did not want to hand my baby to them. They started insisting that I needed to rest and that they need to take the baby back. I asked them who they were, and they told me they were volunteers. I refused and asked them to leave. You would think that they would leave, but they didn't. They told me instead that new mothers do not know that they need to rest, and so I should let my baby get back in the nursery. My DH arrived and I asked him to make them go away.

When the nurse arrived, I complained about these women, and she told me that they do not have volunteers who take babies to the nursery. I described the women and the nurse did not know who I was talking about. Anyways, I did not pursue this and we left the next day. I was totally freaked out. One of the reasons why I did not hand over my baby was because these women had a very strange appearance and manner of talking. To this date I wonder if some kind, grandmotherly kind of person would have come to me, would I have given my baby to them to wheel to the nursery?

So, too bad if I am being paranoid, and some other expectant mom becomes paranoid - keep an eye on the baby. My DH had strict instructions to not leave the baby alone when they took him from the delivery room, and he did just that.

Exactly. And her douchey husband bothered more than one new mother b/c they didn't know which mom it was.

OP, I hope this woman and the other blameless patients sue you for harassment and violation of HIPPA. You really are the embodiment of what people mean by "entitled."

Presumably they usually check names, and OP's mistake was an aberration, not matter of course.

OP you are just such a selfish person. Send that woman some flowers and note of apology.

Wow! PP are you kidding? Of course she has a right to know.

Tracking her down by invading her privacy is harassing her. Sounds like the other mom handled it with grace, though.

One way to inoculate your baby from being misplaced is to keep her next to you at all times until discharged. Another is to dress her in her own clothes and wrap her in her own blankets. There's no rule they have to use hospital issued things. Send her to the nursery in a pink blanket and she'll stand out from the crowd.

Ohhh fuck you. The hospital screw up, lies about it, and OP's husband is a "douche" for finding the other woman?

You are a horrible person. I hope you're the recipient of a hospital error someday so you can see how it feels, you wretched evil person.

You are totally clueless. Another patient walking the floors cannot violate HIPPA idiot. I would have done the same thing. Talking to people is OK!!! Especially when the hospital is trying to cover it up. You really should check your conscience.

You need to read up on what actual harassment is. By your definition any time I looked up a plumber on the internet and called him for a job, I harassed him.
