Institutional Day Care-of Infants
The practice of placing infants in day care centres for most of the day
without a mother or relative requires consideration in an evolutionary
perspective and in the light of studies such as those cited... Since
such arrangements involve multiple significant deviations from the
environment to which the infant is biologically adapted, they should be
viewed with caution, and the burden of proof that such deviations are
harmless should lie with those who advocate them.
