A three-week-old baby is undergoing tests for HIV after being given breast milk from the wrong mother in a southeast Queensland hospital.
The Metro North Hospital and Health Service says it is urgently investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, which occurred at Caboolture Hospital on Thursday.
It says it has also apologised “unreservedly” to the baby’s parents and the donor mother.
“Medical advice, provided to the families, is because of the good health of those involved there is negligible risk of health impacts to the baby as a result of this incident,” a spokesman told AAP.
