According to how my mother inlaw, Lagos island maternity hospital births around a hundred babies per day. The nursery and maternity ward are not on the same floor, mothers don't get see their babies until hours after birth. I asked her a while back if it's possible for babies to get mixed up due to negligence and she said chances of such happening are slim but not impossible. Now imagine a mischievous person having access to that many babies and all she has to do is switch name tags between both babies, it won't take her more than 2 minutes to achieve this.

The Zambian nurse in question may not have had access to up to 100 babies but no less than six at a given time. It won't take her long to make a quick switch when no one's lookimg. Note that she did this over a period 12 years, that's around 400 babies per year. I'm afraid there's no way a mother can tell for a fact that she has been handed the wrong baby, absolutely no way.

I never said it wasn't possible. I'm investigating the ease.



That is a different issue, when a baby is sold fingers are pointed. Same way many in 5000 women must have noticed that their baby has been swapped.



This is some interesting figure, A dozen babies a day is a very large number and can amount to that. But the ease at which this can be done to reach 5000 would require a David Copperfield.



While this is possible, in 5000 times so many things could go wrong.

I have modified my comment, please read it again. She has to swap at a time when two or more women gave birth and she has to swap a boy for a boy and a girl for a girl. The probability she swapped close to 2000 sef is unrealistic.

Offpoint:
If the angel in charge of swapping us before birth did his job like this woman, I'll be somewhere in the US.

You don't need to beg for any forgiveness aside from the marital infidelity issues, you did nothing wrong.

Some of those kids are in good hands with fulfilled life.


I wish I was swapped with Dangote son.

It's very difficult to swap a baby because both births have to be about the same time. Since it is about 500 births a year, we are looking at about 1000 births whereby two people gave birth about the same time and the circumstances permits her to swap successfully. Since there are two genders and she must swap a boy for a boy and a girl for a girl we are looking at a much harder probability. She is either mad or the bloggers are insane with the figures.

Hundred babies per day? That's enormous. I find it difficult to believe.
