Hi all,
Have just been sitting having a little chuckle about the different
terminology we use in different countries.

In Australia nipples are attached to breasts, teats attached to bottles (and
to cows!)
We breastfeed our babies, nursing your baby refers to a cuddle, or holding.
We are warned if we go to USA to expect strange looks if we ask a mum if we
can nurse her baby!
We have mums, USA has moms, etc. Isn't diversity entertaining?
Happy Easter to all
Susan in QLD, Australia
