Preferred term

breastfeeding  

Definition

  • Breastfeeding refers to the act of providing mothers' milk to infants for the purpose of nutrition. The most widely accepted definition of breastfeeding seems to accept infants/children extracting milk through sucking at their mothers' breasts for the health benefit of the infant and mother.
