I think that the issue is less of what is appropriate than what is not. 
I refer more often to premature weaning than I do to any specific 
length of time for breastfeeding. If I do have to address breastfeeding 
in such terms, I usually simply say "normal breastfeeding".  I cannot 
imagine a perfect word, b/c from our frame of reference, we take for 
granted that breastfeeding happens until it is finished happening. How 
do we convey this to someone who has a whole other frame of reference?
