An aside that some might find interesting....I recently compared the names
that toddler+ breastfeeders use for breastfeeding from my Australian study
of long-term breastfeeding to the study that Kathleen Kendall-Tackett and
Murial Sugarman did in the US. For US children the most common words were
variations of "nurse" for Australian, the most common by far was "boobie,"
which was not even mentioned in the US study. One can speculate on the
reasons why such a big difference.
