That one always confused me. They probably aren’t feeding and housing the slave that’s feeding their baby well. Maybe I am missinformed but i’d imagine that provided less healthy milk. Not to mention the stress associated with having to feed someone else’s baby.
The only reference I have to go on off the top of my head there is Django Unchained where a difference was noted for those working in the house vs fields. I imagine it was used as emotional manipulation to bribe them with better living conditions in some cases, though
