Strictly anecdotal, but anyone upsetting a breastfeeding mother in my family
was booted out of the room/house because it was believed that the baby
wouldn't nurse or nurse as long as needed if the mother was uncomfortable.
If all people truly believed that formula is *not* an option to fall back
on, then the kindness would be seen as necessary and not as a mere nicety.

kind and gentle with their assigned cows, the others were stern and spoke to

average of 10% more milk.

Maybe this would encourage hospital nurses to be a little kinder - I still
remember the one who told me I was doing everything wrong and my baby was
getting too much milk at each feeding.
