2 woman have found out they were given the wrong babies when they left the hospital. The babies are now 10months old. They want their own babies back, but they have grown to love and care for that child. One woman is still breast feeding. What would you do, would you swap or carry on caring for the baby you have grown to love?

that is just heartbreaking. of course they have come to love the baby they cared for. but its only natural to want the one you gave birth to. the women should become close and spend time together with both babies and make the transition a lot easier. its going to be hard on the babies too.

I would definatly swap back but keep in touch with the other child and parents. Although 10months is a long time its nothing compared 2 the rest of your life, you stil have this time left to bond with your own child, your blood. Its a difficult situation but definatly i think id swap back.

It must be so difficult for them. In the end I think I'd want my own biological child back. Otherwise you'd spend the rest of your life wondering what life would have been like with your real child, what they were doing, whether they had children of their own etc.
But it must be so hard to hand over a child you've loved and brought up as your own for 10 months. I really wish them luck. Hopefully they'll keep in touch with each other and get to watch both children grow together.

OMG first of all Id be suing the hospital for putting me in this situation, and then I would have a real heart to heart talk with the other mom to see where she stands, depending on that, prolly keep the one I have as I am sure that baby would be as attached to me and try to keep the other family as part of our lives. But it definitely opens up a can of worms cause what about your husbands opinion, what if the other mom is not that great at being a mom etc etc.

Imagine how heartbreaking that would be? I have no idea what I would feel, as a mother myself, I can not imagine giving up my 10 month old baby (the mothers must feel that the baby they have looked after since birth are their own) but I would also want my real baby.

Sounds like last weeks episode of Private Practice. Under the law, you have to give the kids back to the biological parents. I don't know what they do though, if one child was breast feeding and one wasn't. After 10 months the other mother would have lost her milk production.

This one is such a difficult one, I have actually answered a question similar to this one not too long ago. I wouldnt like to say what I would do unless I was actually in this situation. I would want my biological baby but if I had cared for another baby for such a long time then I wouldnt want to give all of that up either. I dont think you can say either way unless it is actually happening to you. It would be so awful!

Ekk tough question thought I would want my own biological child back I'd have a tough time giving up the one I thought was my own for 10 months. I'd deffantly want to stay in the baby's life maybe as and extra Auntie!

I would definitely want my own baby back, but would like to keep in close contact with the other child, perhaps arrange for that child to call me aunt.

I would definately want my own baby back, but I would keep in touch with the other baby and it's mom.
