*dare* just talk about "feeding"?

English, this is already done

Absolutely, we say feeding -- 'I am feeding my baby' is a code way of saying
breastfeeding.  You might go further and say 'breastfeeding'.  Nursing to
me -- brought up, remember in the USA with two sisters born when I was 7 and
9 who were breastfed -- conjures up a bedpan image every single time.

As Heather says, we use feeding over here.  And lord knows our breastfeeding
initiation, duration, and duration/initiation of exclsuive breastfeeding are
NOTHING to get excited about, adn the community acceptance of breastfeeding
is also NOTHING  to envy.
