So what? If the mother isn't a "biological chauvinist" in your sense, she will be completely indifferent between raising her child and someone else's. And she has no particular reason to go look for her own child. Or am I misunderstanding your concept of "biological chauvinism"?
If it was one week in the original problem, would that change your answers? I'm honestly curious.
In the original problem, I was criticizing the husband for being willing to abandon the child if he learned he wasn't the genetic father. If the child is one week old, the child would grow up without a father, which is perhaps not as bad as having a father and then losing him. I've elaborated my position here.
