I bet in pre-history it happened more often than not in humans, and within recorded history has likely happened more times than anyone would admit.

eeeh our whole evolutionary niche is to be so social that we'll form bonds with a literal rock, i can't see the vast vast vast majority of mentally healthy humans managing to do it, more likely they'd try to gently throw the child away from the danger and sacrifice themselves.

Plenty of anecdotal stories of infant brothers and sisters not making it through hiding during the holocaust because of muffling their cries.

I don’t care enough to ruin my day by validating a of them though.

oh you can validate them real easy: it's anecdotal, thus false until actually proven.
