Will you be using these terms?



  • Staff at a university in Australia have been asked to avoid saying 'mother' and instead use the words 'gestational parent'.
  • 'Father' is also being phased out, with the university asking workers to refer to dads as 'non-birthing parents'.
  • Some of the other changes include replacing 'breastfeeding' with 'chestfeeding' and 'mother's milk' with 'human or parent milk'.
