Hi!
Small growing things, like bird chicks and bear cubs, always seem to be
hungry, and human babies are no exception. So here's a pair of words that
those of you with babies should have frequent opportunities to use!
FEED vs. NURSE 食べ物を与える vs. 母乳を飲ませる
- To feed a baby is to give it food, including
milk from a bottle or solid
food.
To nurse a baby is to give it milk directly from the breast. - feed a baby は、赤ん坊に食べ物を与える、という意味です。ミルクも離乳食も含まれます。
nurse は、赤ん坊に母乳を飲ませる、という意味です。
- FATHER: Shall I feed the baby while
you're gone?
MOTHER: No. She just ate. - My eldest daughter really enjoys feeding the baby.
- (a woman to a waiter)
Is it alright if I nurse my baby here? - I often lie down to rest while nursing the baby.
