BBC News is aware of five cases of babies being swapped by mistake in maternity wards from the late 1940s to the 1960s.
Lawyers say they expect more people to come forward driven by the increase in cheap genetic testing.
Matthew - not his real name - contacted the BBC after we reported on the case of Susan , who received compensation after a home DNA test revealed she had been accidentally switched for another baby in the 1950s .
Staff only backed down when her mum told them she'd had a fast, unassisted delivery.
"I feel for the other mother who had been happily feeding me for two days and then had to give up one baby for another," she says.
Matthew 's father, an insurance agent from the Home Counties , was a keen amateur cyclist.
Matthew thought long and hard about telling him the truth about his family history.
