Stanley: Carol Emshwiller wrote a very good sci-fi story about this. World
of the future. Child-raising — even of tiny infants — done by programmed
robot nurses. Ghastly plague wipes out human race… except for one little
tot, who is raised to adulthood by his robot nurse. Fully-grown, and stark
naked, he has to cope with “nurse” telling him it’s feeding time…
If anyone knows where this story is anthologized, I’d like to read it again.
It was, IMS, originally in F&SF magazine.
