Same here.  I always called nursing "milk", even though I speak Russian to
my son all the time and we used to live in the Netherlands and later moved
to the US.  I thought it was better to be on the safe side, because you
never know who just may know Russian well enough to know what my toddler
wants.  But... we were at the library once, and a librarian who was telling
a story to children asked where milk came from.  10 kids said it came from
cow.  My 2-year-old at the time started pulling on my shirt.:-)))
