Many an expectant mother goes
to the hospital apprehensive that
she will be given the wrong baby
This is highly improbable. but
there have been enough publicized
instances of accidental substitu-
ton to heighten this anxiety.
What to do? Mrs. c. writes: II
am going to have a baby this fall
and the obstetrician wants to de-
liver it in a large hospital. I just
wonder whether they take ade-
quate precaution to avoid a mix
up. I don't want to raise any
baby but my own and I don't want
my own baby to be brought up by
strangers.
Since it can happen, Mrs. c.,
because it has happened. you
would be justified in talking to
your obstetrician about it. Have
him tell you what method he
uses, because mixups usually start
in the delivery room. Then, to
further ease your mind, see the
superintendent Of the hospital
and have him outline the institu-
tons regulations.
Only the most sloppily-run hos
pitfalls fail to use one, or several
of the recognized methods of
marking newly born babies for
identification: A bead necklace
or tape bracelet, an anklet with
name and room number in plastic
and registration of the baby's
footprints with the mothers
