Way back when he was born, he well could have chosen the nurse as his bonding influence if he was aware of her before Mom held him.
And yet Mom became Mom. Did he choose her? Could he have chosen anyone else?
Mom took the child home and there was no more nurse. Are you claiming that if the reverse had happened that the child would have rejected the nurse?
Your example is garbage. The child did not choose mom over the nurse because of some Mom thing. Instead, the child became attached over a day or so of spending time with a mom who festooned love on the baby. Then mom then went home with the child, with the child having no say so about which car he or she was placed in.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand. Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World.
