Hmm - what're the Classical topoi for the exposure of babies?

I read an interesting catalog from an exhibition about the depiction of children and childhood in ancient Greek art a couple of years ago - Coming of Age in Ancient Greece, but I am not remembering if there was anything much about the exposure of unwanted infants. Somehow I always think of this as a male response - but read this article about women and men responding babies with facial abnormalities. Hmm.
