I thinking bonding is very important, but anecdotes can never
establish or refute this fact.  Our first was born in a hospital
but spent the first hour of life with us.  Later they removed
her and refused to return her for 3 hours.  We have always
felt that this was a bad experience for her and imagine that
we see evidence in her later separation fears, etc.

Our second was born at home, wasn't separated from more than one parent
at a time for 3 months (and when I say not separated I mean literally
in our arms or next to us sleeping and awake).  There has been much
less separation anxiety in this child, we think, so far.  she is now
2.4.
