Totally! I think it was a phrase I actually picked up from my mom, so I'm guessing the term has been around for a while.

Yes! All my friends called it the same thing so I always thought it was just a common word for it. And isn't it the best word for it? I can't think of anything else that would describe it as perfectly!

Absolutely. My non-mommy friends didn't understand why I was so concerned about wasting breastmilk - they thought that it was just a neverending supply. Oh, heck no!
