Baby nursing in English?

If you want to speak English or expose English words while nursing your baby, you can do this naturally.
The most common translation is "breastfeeding"—but in daily use, "nursing" or simply "feeding" are also common. For a baby, "breastfed baby" (breast-fed baby) is used.
Milk expression is called "pumping", breast milk is "breast milk", and nursing position is "nursing position".
If your goal is to expose English words to your baby early, you can say simple things during feeding: "Milk", "good baby", "slow down", "let's burp".
However, cognitively speaking: babies learn language not from the sounds they hear, but from meaningful context. So there's no rule like "speak English while nursing"—if your English isn't strong, artificial and disconnected sentences can be more confusing than helpful. Consistent and natural input is more valuable.
In short: "Breastfeeding" is the term. If you want to expose English words to your baby, use short sentences tied to daily activities—but don't force it; be comfortable.
