University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust confirmed it is investigating an incident in September 2023 “in which a baby was handed to the wrong mother”. Ms Beth visited her daughter in the nursery but after going to the toilet she was called into an office on her way back by a midwife who said they had her baby in there instead.

After going to find her daughter, the midwife claimed 22-year-old Ms Beth looked identical to the boy’s mother which is why she had confused them, according to the LadBible report.
