Hello. The other day, we tweeted about breastfeeding/chestfeeding. We received many replies w/regards to our use of the term chestfeeding.

Shall we take a moment to address that? Chestfeeding is a term used by many transmasculine & non-binary parents to describe how they (1/3)
feed/nurture their children. Some prefer the term nursing, others prefer breastfeeding. We use these words & we warmly accept the term a family chooses for their own experiences. We will keep supporting parents of all gender identities & family structures by using inclusive (2/3)
language to reflect the diversity of our community. The terms breastfeeding, chestfeeding & nursing will appear in our comms & can be used interchangeably. We are proud to do this & we will continue doing this. Their is strength in diversity!

Thanks for your time
