Florida mom says newborn baby was accidentally breastfed by another woman

A new mom in Orange Park, Florida says her newborn son was accidentally breastfed by another woman.

Joii Brown told News4Jax that a nurse from Orange Park Medical Center had accidentally taken her son, Roman Philips, to the wrong room following his circumcision. She was told that the procedure would only take 30 minutes, but she realized that something was wrong when the nurses at the center gave her more than an hour later.

At that time, the nurses told Brown that his child had been mistakenly taken to another woman's room. The woman, who has not been identified yet, allegedly breastfed Brown's son for a few minutes before the surveillance was revealed.

"It was shocking," said Brown about the confusion. "All you had to do was look at the bracelet and see that it was not his child."

The US Food and Drug Administration warns that a breast-fed baby from another woman may present "potential risks to the health and safety of the baby."

"Risks to the baby include exposure to infectious diseases, including HIV, chemical contaminants, such as some illegal drugs, and a limited number of prescription drugs that may be found in human milk if the donor has not been properly controlled, "the FDA said.

That said, the use of the given breast milk is not uncommon and is safe as long as the milk has been tested to detect harmful bacteria and is pasteurized, according to the American Pregnancy Association.

After the incident, Brown told the news station that the medical center had immediately tested his son. For the moment, he seems to be in good health.

A representative from the Orange Park Medical Center was not immediately available to comment when contacted by Fox News on Saturday.
