Muriel Vasconcellos Dec 14, 2009:
Comment: accouchement, lying-in Hmmm... "aleitamento" is a little perplexing. Obviously it means breastfeeding in your context, but linguistically it is a lot closer to accouchement, lying-in, which refers to the delivery process.

thanks!
neutral liz askew : "maternal" is totally redundant. Who else is going to breastfeed??//I would if I had time:)On a quick look I cannot find it on a UK medical site./I still think it is redundant.
