In my current issue of  Harrowsmith, a country magazine, there is a short
report on some research done with dairy cows. The researchers had people
stand by the cows while they were being milked. Half of the volunteers were
kind and gentle with their assigned cows, the others were stern and spoke to
them more harshly. The result: the cows who were treated kindly produced an
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.
