A newborn baby girl was mistakenly given by a nurse to another mother and that mother breast-fed the day-old infant.
Hospital officials "don't think that this is a big deal type of thing," said the father, who requested anonymity. "It's a huge deal."
The baby's parents, a 29-year-old father and 28-year-old mother from Portsmouth, first have to wait for results of a Hepatitis C test on their baby. Then, they must wait six more months before their baby can be conclusively tested for HIV infection, as breast-feeding can transmit the virus that causes AIDS.
