Narrative:

I was on flight following from ewb to dca. I was on phl approach. As I was entering bwi class B airspace I called phl approach to see if I was cleared into bwi class B airspace. He said they had changed controllers and had forgotten about me. Then he told me to call bwi approach. I called bwi approach, told him of my position, and told him I had received a late handoff from phl. He asked me if I knew I was in class B airspace. I told him yes, but I was under flight following and the phl controller said he had 'forgotten about me.' I continued on to dca under flight following with the same squawk. I trusted flight following too much and should not have entered the class B airspace. The phl controller made a serious error.
