It is supposed to be a rare occurance

Answer 1

Ages ago in Neighbours... The Timmins daughter Bree wasnt their actual daughter. Their daughter was a blind girl. Cant remember what exactly happened but they didnt find out until the kids were 13 or so. They got swapped at birth by the nurses putting the wrong wrist band on them :)

Answer 2

I think there was one in neighbours but the children grew up and spent time with both families here is a bit from wikipedia he use of this common theme has continued ever since. The device was used a number of times by W. S. Gilbert, including in the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas H.M.S. Pinafore and The Gondoliers. In both cases, well-born babies were switched with commoners. Mark Twain, later used this plot device in The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson (1893), where two babies, one white and one black, are switched at birth, resulting in both passing for races that they are not.[2] It is one of the themes that made for TV movies regularly exploited in the 1970s and 1980s.[3] It continues to be a popular theme in the 1990s and 21st century with (for examples) it being employed as a plot device in Veronica Mars (the characters Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie and Madison Sinclair), in Neighbours (the characters Bree Timmins and Anne Baxter), and in The Young and the Restless (several times, including the characters Cane Ashby and Phillip Chancellor III, and the children of Lauren Fenmore Baldwin and Sheila Carter).
