A new mum is suing the New Jersey hospital where she gave birth, claiming she breastfed someone else’s baby for 20 minutes after nurses made a “terrible mistake”.
39-year-old new mum Melissa Richman says she was extremely depleted and medicated after undergoing a c-section when the incident occurred at Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, in September last year.“
“It was the middle of the night. I had just had a very serious, three-hour C-section. I was extremely sick from all the medication. I was not in my right mind, and I didn’t think to check,’’ she explained to the New York Post.

Haha worried about the saliva from the other baby. Worried it had an STD or something? Can't trust those promiscuous new born babies now can we!
Is this really news? Malpractice is when someone gets sick or dies as a result of negligence, not when someone feeds the wrong baby for 20mins.
