If somebody said that a picture of your newborn had made their milk let down.....

......would you take it as a compliment?

yep!

yes definitely

Yes of course - even hearing a random baby cry when we were out shopping made it happen to me. Just another milk-mama. why? do you think it's a bit weird?

yes, but then baby hamsters made my milk flow, so don't get tooooooooo flattered

No, I don't think it's weird. I've just said it in an email to my friend about her new baby and then got a bit worried that she might be all offended by it.

I wouldn't be offended or take it as a compliment tbh. It's not like particular newborns have more "essence of baby" than others, it's just a physiological mechanism that you don't have any conscious control over after all.

Basically you are saying "your baby looks like a baby"
