Chestfeeding is a term that reflects the evolving language surrounding parenting and feeding practices. As transgender and nonbinary individuals become parents, the terminology they use to describe feeding their children often shifts. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists notes that chestfeeding can include those who have undergone breast removal surgery or choose this term for personal affirmation. The term emphasizes inclusivity and acknowledges that breastfeeding can include a diverse range of parental experiences beyond traditional female roles, challenging heteronormative perspectives in lactation support.
"These terms are most often used by transgender and nonbinary people. Some people have had breast removal surgery and are still able to produce milk."
"A term used by many masculine-identified trans people to describe the act of feeding their baby from their chest, regardless of whether they have had chest/top surgery."
