That's how you would have been raising someone's else son or daughter because of negligence. Reason sometimes DNA test should be conducted immediately to avoid super story in the future.

Caracta:
The ideal practice is to never let anyone take your baby from your hospital room for whatever reason.

You can clean the baby in the mother's room! Anything that needs to be done can be taken care of in the mother's room or in the presence of another family member. Or better still, let everyone (mother and child) wear a barcode around their wrist that identifies them.

Chartey:
I'm sure it's a lie. A lot of people post false stories on Twitter for engagement calling it "content".

Only people who're not familiar with how Labour rooms look like would believe this nonsense. First of all, how many women will give birth at exactly the same time in the Labour ward?

I've worked in extremely busy labour wards where more than 10 women are very close to giving birth but it's still rare that two babies would come out at the same minute.

Now let's even assume that happens, is it the same midwife/assistant or doctor/assistant pair that would take the two deliveries at the same time?

Now let's even assume the same person cleans or resuscitates (if necessary) the two babies. The person would likely take the APGAR + weight of one and document first before doing for the second. Immediately after that they'll have to give the mother to keep the baby skin to skin/belly to belly and attempt to breastfeed. So the baby won't be away for more than a few minutes.


Now, all these activities happen in the same labour room, in a designated area usually in the line of sight of the mothers in standard labour rooms.


This narrative needs to be killed abeg. Nobody dey switch babies. Healthcare workers as a rule try to be very careful to avoid anything that has legal consequences.


NB: For DNA tests, if a baby is switched, it won't have any of the mother or father's DNA. If it has the mother's DNA but not that of the father, then someone lied.

Whether it is a lie is not for you to say

Is it something that happens? Yes. Has it happened in the past? Yes.

That is all that matters.

If someone came to social media and told us his uncle just found out his three children do not belong to him, you no for come here dey talk say na lie. You would have been calling for the head of the woman.

How many have you personally seen? I've never ever heard of anyone suing any hospital I know because of that.

This switching of babies thing became a popular narrative with the increased adoption of paternity tests. Despite how popular the narrative is, nobody is suing any hospital. What does that tell you?

After negative DNA test, This is the main reason why some women looked confused, when they actually don`t cheat on their man.

Craze man …. You no get work Abi na Nairaland employ you ?

This is why a Compulsory DNA test after Test is very important.

I know PROSTITUTES will use this as an Avenue to deny or downplay the Issue of Paternity Fraud. Still,it doesn't change the fact that Cases of Paternity fraud have and will continue to happen until DNA test after Birth is made Mandatory.

Imagine what could have been the state of the family if they had conducted a DNA test later when the child is grown

I wish they didn’t find out now it would have been disaster for both families most especially now that we are hearing government want to be doing DNA tests for free in any government hospitals, A lots of cases like this has ruined many homes and taken a lots of lives hospitals should be careful while handling new Born Babies.

apple30:
30% of DNA negative saga in Nigeria is from General hospitals ..dey take d baby out of labor room to clean ..some intentionally switch babies for those desperately looking for a particular sex..things r happening in public hospitals

Rawtruth1:
You can now see how some of the non matching DNAs come to be.
Sometimes, hospitals Doctors and nurses deliberately do it on pay because somebody needs a boy child.

That's why I never participated in #EndSARS protest. There are people who are hundreds of times worse than policemen in this country
