Baby mix-ups raise questions about care, ID protocols

Baby mix-ups raise questions about care, ID protocols: "The day after her first child was born in January at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Suzanne Libby discovered that he was missing from the hospital nursery. Searching frantically, she found Spencer in his hospital bassinet -- in another woman's room. Standing next to him was a hospital aide, a stricken look on her face."

At least six other errors have occurred at hospitals in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York. There were no reports of physical harm to the newborns. At least three cases involved nurse's aides, according to media reports and documents.

Six other errors REPORTED! God only know's how many more babies were switched and NOT Reported!
