Rachael,
As it should happen I was discussing Chinese words for breast milk last
night with my Chinese teacher (next week I'll check out how to say
breastfeeding) so I can tell you that the common way of saying breastmilk is
mu nai (literally mother milk) but it is also called ren nai (people milk).
My otherwise comprehensive English-Chinese dictionary does not contain words
for breastfeeding or lactation.
