But, which was first: the separation or the infant deaths?
Infants held close to mother and fed purely at breast do not have much raised mortality risks even if living circumstances for the community are of low quality.

While the act of separation is nothing new, I have to wonder if one of the
reasons back then was to prevent too much attachment in the event of infant
death.  Nursing bonds you to the baby, and given the high rates of infant
mortality, perhaps separation was a psychological protection.
