Swapped babies return to their biological parents

The two baby girls who were accidentally swapped at birth almost a year ago have returned to their biological parents. The parents have originally planned to exchange the babies on New Year’s Day, but psychologists have advised them to do it as soon as possible, as the girls start to be increasingly attached to them. The girls were mixed up by hospital staff soon after their birth on December 9 last year. The parents learnt of the accidental swap in October after one of the fathers secretly ordered a DNA test, fearing that his daughter was not his biological child. When the mother’s subsequent tests came out negative as well, the hospital admitted its mistake.
