  why wouldn't it be "milk feeding" for moms who EP....?  
   
  because, of course, I feed my baby breastmilk.  But wait, bottling should be used for EPers(since that should be the "norm" for bottlers) and then the ABM feeders we can address as "artifical baby milk bottlers." if you are going to Weissengerize, why not take it all the way.  Then, of course, there is banked milk feeding, and I don't know what we do with all those grey areas where they get some milk and some artifical milks too? 
   
  FYI, at my house as Benjamin gets older we sometimes call it "num, num" as that is what my older 2 have called it.  So as I am setting up his haberman I have been known to say to him, "ok, here's your num num!" playfully and my daughter giggles, BUT, I will try to rememember to say "milk feeding" so my daughter will learn the correct language to empower her generation for the future!
