Hi Cathy
Yes you'll be pleased to know that in Australia dads, aunties, children and
even lactation consultants can still nurse someone else's baby, but only
mothers breastfeed.  Someone on lactnet commented that they preferred the
term 'nursing' to refer to breastfeeding. I don't.  I feel it's just
another way of hiding from sight, and hearing, what is happening.  It
reminds me of the euphemisms my grandmother would use to avoid saying the
word 'pregnant'.
