Mothers Bear Wrong Babies Swap Shocks La Salle
In La Salle Illinois four years ago two mothers Anna Fenloire and Jessie Ressella exchanged their infants by mistake. Birth dates ten days apart on birth and a red birthmark clue led to the swap. Mrs Ludwig recalled tending Fenloire, noting a red mark that later matched Ressella’s child. It is believed the error occurred when babes were three weeks old and will be corrected without legal action.
