Hi, this is Kika from Spain

Sorry to come in so late on this thread, I´m a bit behind.

To breastfeed: dar el pecho (to give the breast); dar la teta (to give the
boob) is a bit too slang, many women not comfortable with it, more used in
a rural, low class setting; dar de mamar (to suckle) is also used commonly.
Amamantar is correct, but less used.

Breastmilk: leche materna (maternal milk) or leche de madre (mothers milk).

A feed: una toma (a take). Even though we use mamar (to suck) as a verb, we
can NEVER say una mamada, that is equivalent to fellatio.

When someone is always in a bad mood, or is a difficult person, we say s/he
has mala leche (bad milk).
