From:  A SUITABLE BOY, Vikram Seth (all 1400+ pages of which I highly recommend)
(This man pays attention)
:The baby was a little difficult to feed on the first day.  At first she didn't
want to acknowledge the breast, but once Savita brushed her finger against her
cheek she turned around quite swiftly and opened her mouth.  This was the
opportunity for the nipple to be put to the baby's mouth.  That baby's face
registered an expression something like surprise.  She also had a little
difficulty in pulling properly.  After that, there was no trouble..:

and:  He has a character write the following:
        Who a child has not seen drinking milk
        At bright breasts of Mother, rags she wears or silks?
        Love of mild Mother like rain-racked gift of cloud.
        In poet's words, Mother to thee I bow.
