re: Wrong baby: WWTOTD

I know of two cases of this happening in my hometown. After my brother was born, the nursery nurse brought the wrong baby to my mom. Fortunately my mom caught the mistake. It took several minutes of my mom arguing with the nurse for her to finally realize the mistake. Another case of mistaken baby took place in the same town around the same time. Babies were switched but no one every caught it. Years later it came out that a mistake was made. Oddly enough, no lawsuits ever came of it and the parents were content letting things ride the way they were.

sure enough the sticker on the thing says breast fed boy. We had a girl. The tech proceeds to remove the sticker from the cart as if just the sticker is wrong.
Could've solved that pretty quick. Check for a penis

There are scan-able bracelets on the child and mother. Either you're lying for the nurse dgaf.

This wouldn't be the first time we've heard of a story like this though. Some (most?) hospitals now have bracelets that are the equivalent of the ink tabs at a department store. If you leave the designated area with the baby then the entire hospital shuts down.

A baby is a baby, there's not too much difference between one to the next. Who gives a shite?

Any stray baby you or your family would get would be an improvement over what you can generate.

Is that original material or are you borrowing from your main man Dane Cook again?

100% truth, don't care if you don't believe it.
Tech didn't give a shite. After talks with our OB she is apparently a POS. She said, "I don't know what she does here anymore and the hospital can't fire her because she is a minority."
Didn't want to bring race into it, but it's pretty much a direct quote.
The hospital has all of the previously mentioned. The second they are born, they are brought over to the table, they put a bracelet on their wrist and ankle. They also put a tracker on the ankle. The tracker for our child was turned off because we were near the stairwell and it kept going off incorrectly and nurses would rush in.

A tech Shouldn be with your baby like that anyway. Should be either an on call pediatrician, perhaps an on gyn, or nurse
Not true at all. Back when I worked at Woman's the techs would bring the babies back and forth all the time to the nursery. Totally within their job responsibilities. Many times the nurses may be busy doing actual nursing stuff so they delegate other things to the techs. The parents should be taught to look for specially colored badges on anyone handling the baby though(each hospital is different...most I worked at it was pink...means you are approved staff allowed to transport babies/children). As for the OP...not something worth suing over. However, you are well within your rights as a patient/parent to ask to speak to that tech's supervisor and report her just trying to remove something from the baby's crib like that.

Report to hospital administration person in charge of nursing

What kind of "tech" was bringing babies back from the nursery? ONLY nurses are able to do that kind of shite.
Wrong. Again...depends on the hospital. When I worked at Woman's the techs would transport the babies if the nurses were busy. Many of them worked in the nursery and cared for the babies (fed/changed them) that were sent there for the night. There was of course nurses in the nursery as well. Any tech employed on a mother/baby floor is trained and qualified to transport babies to rooms and feed/change them. They should be trained to double check the mother and baby's bracelets...making sure the numbers on both match. The mother always has a bracelet on that has a number that matches the one on the baby's wrist and ankle.

I think the OP meant the baby looks just like her mother.
No mention of the father though.
OP, let it go. Neither baby is actually yours anyway.
