I'd highly recommend an article from Mothering mag. #64 (summer '92) called
"What Price Separation?" by Barbara Latterner.  It does a very good job of
describing the effect of separation on the baby.

"All children eventually wean.  We are very much afraid, in our
culture, to trust the child to grow, to progress, to wean, to toilet-
train, to eat, to sleep, to go to school in due time at his or her own
pace.  We seem to constantly feel that we must decide when it is
best that the child do these things." ---Margaret Nichols
