I certainly like this term better than "breast" milk, but sometimes I  
feel that "human milk" is too clinical and disembodied from the  
mother.  Another drawback is the fact that there is no one substance  
out there that is "human milk," because the milk differs from mother  
to mother, based on many different factors, and is individually  
produced within the context of the mother-baby system.  I personally  
prefer "mother's milk," because it recognizes the importance of the  
mother herself, and that she produces the milk for her own individual  
baby.
Warmly,
