I vote for the term breastfeeding, it seems neater and more consise than the
two word or hypenated version.  I have to related comments.  I gave a talk on
BF to a group of midwest FP's in Maui in January 94 and wanted to addd what
Isalnd flavor to the talk that this midwest farm boy could. I called the
State Libarary in Honolulu to find out how to say "Breast is Best" in
Hawaiian.  From the tourist brochures I new the phrase, Maui No Ka Oi ( My
spelling might be wrong) which means: Maui is the best.  The kind lady at the
library thought that WAIU would be the word that would fit the best as the
Hawaiian dictionary listed WAIU as meaning both "breast" and "milk". I
thought that that was interesting as before the white man came to HI there
was no other milk used on the islands.
I also love the German word for breastfeeding,"STILLEN" It seems to be so
appropriate to the situation.
