Before the rest of the world decides the UK is totally bf friendly - I was
surprised to see this.  Perhaps it's a regional thing - but I have never
heard anyone use this phrase, other than the quote (Dickens?) 'Gin is like
mother's milk to me.'   I agree with Heather's comment on using 'human
feeding' - especially for schools.
