i always use 'nursing'.  it's just my personally preferred word and ppl
still *constantly* ask if that means Lila doesn't get 'food' - she's
three.

This is most commonly asked by nurses at Dr's offices......we've had a
slew of visits lately between my bronchitis,  Lila's allergies/asthma,
and some other various and sundry visits.

in *every* case, the nurse, upon hearing lila ask to 'nuhse' ......she
still nurses?   doesn't she bite you?  how come she can't eat other
food? or the preferred form "does she eat other food? "

wow.
