Are you making an argument that distress and psychological harm aren't a form of "damage"? They added some fairly traumatic experiences to an already stressful time in these peoples' lives without sufficient cause. You're trying to say that the little things (glances, the temporary threat of CPS taking away the newborn, being told more than once not to breastfeed your child, being described as a "combative patient" just for doing what's best for the child) don't add up to a big thing. I don't think you understand the stresses involved in this situation.
Maybe a lawsuit is going too far, especially if this incident isn't in some permanent CPS record. But if it is, the hospital has them set up for some serious problems down the road.
