"I remember years ago hearing a mom describe how a family member
(from somewhere out of the US) asked if she could "nurse" the baby.
Mom was taken aback until she realized that in that person's
culture, to "nurse" meant to hold, cuddle, and generally care for
the infant, not just to feed at breast"
May have been an Aussie or Brit, where 'nursing' is to hold the baby. When
my inlaws visited the US in 2001 I had to remind MIL not to tell everyone
she had "nursed" a baby alligator in Florida!!
