Vadodara:
The seven-day-old dispute between two mothers - Ramila Chunara and Ramila Damor - whose
New-born babies were swapped due to a mistake of nurse, was on Sunday resolved amicably in the Gujarat government-run SSG Hospital in Vadodara.

Chunara offered sweets to Ramila Damor, a tribal woman of Limkheda town of neighbouring Dahod District. Damor said, "I was not aware of giving birth to a baby boy as his birth took place after operation and I was not conscious. It was the doctor, who conducted operation to me, informed me that I give birth to a baby boy."
"Even if I was given birth to a baby girl, I was ready to accept her on the doctor's advice," said Damor. As both the newly born boy and girl were underweight, they were kept in incubators in the ward of the hospital for four days. Damor breastfeeded baby girl and Chunara breastfeeded the baby boy.
