The expression that I have heard is that women shouldn't try to be a "we
nurse" to the entire world. Some of us need that reminder and others
don't. I have never heard "breastfeeding" as a replacement for "wet nurse."
It doesn't say that we shouldn't wet nurse *some* of the world, just not
all of it.
