As a former editor of the journal (Breastfeeding Review, published by NMAA), I have become rather pedantic about the spelling of breastfeeding. Should we be spelling it as a single word or as a hyphenated word? And how can we encourage others to do the same? I sometimes get caught out when doing literature searches on breastfeeding if I don't hyphenate the word or spell it as two words ie breast feeding. This would of course also apply to the words breastfeed, breastfed and breastmilk. Regards, Ellen McIntyre, South Australia
