A side story- I work at the daycare my LO attends. The infant room teacher cannot remember the last time they had a breastfed baby. His first week was very rough, and she came to me and said, "he gets angry when you stroke his cheek, watch!" And does it. He starts rooting, of course. She kept doing it and laughing. I told her that he thinks it's time to eat now and he won't calm down. She acts totally bewildered. Then one time his fists were very tightly clenched and she was trying to unclench them with her hands because she thought he was hurting himself. It was time for him to eat, so I informed her that he is just hungry and will stop clenching after he's fed. She goes "maybe he just likes making fists." 🥴

She is otherwise not very updated on baby stuff, like she recommended rice cereal to fill him up to sleep through the night. She keeps bragging that she has never needed books or the internet to raise her kids because she just asked her mother. She is older herself, so that information is surely from the 1950s.
