Nights away from mum 'leave babies less secure': New findings could affect custody rulings for young children | Mail Online

Infants have a biological need to be attached to carers, usually their parents.
US researchers set out to discover what happens when babies under 12 months old spend a night or more per week away from their mothers, as increasingly happens when separated parents share custody.
