'Our babies were given another mother's milk': Outraged parents must now wait 3 months to learn if their twins have infections such as HIV and hepatitis


Owen and Donna Williams, from Bridgend, were delighted when Mrs Williams gave birth to twins Grace and Logan after their third IVF attempt (newborns are pictured left, and with their parents, right). 


The pair had labelled several bottles of milk which Mrs Williams had expressed to be kept in a special fridge and given to the twins at feeding times. But last week, Mr Williams discovered a nurse had been feeding the twins from the wrong bottle, and believes the blunder occurred on at least three occasions. The pair now face an anxious three-month wait for test results in screening for infections such as HIV and hepatitis B. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board confirmed the incident at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend took place and said the matter is under investigation. Mr Williams said: 'We are obviously completely distraught. Having waited eight years for our babies, they are incredibly precious to us and we placed all our trust in the care we were being given at the hospital.'
