My experience has been different than Dave's. We have kept calves on the udder and milked 2x/day and still walked away with a good bucketful every milking. Our initial girls were from a dairy (production cows) and had never kept their calves before coming home with us so maybe this has something to do with why they were just fine with us milking while they had babes.
Our girls had very distinct personalities from one another but none were what I would call nervous by any stretch. The one common thread between them all is they all enjoyed grooming us at every opportunity.
