I had to find the answer, because yeah...

From the source article/paper:

https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/153/6/e2024066843/197305/Infant-Feeding-for-Persons-Living-With-and-at-Risk

The term “breastfeeding” is used throughout this document. We acknowledge that some people may prefer other terminology, including “chestfeeding.” Pediatric health care professionals are encouraged to assess and utilize a person’s preferred language regarding infant feeding. This guidance on infant feeding may also be used in cases of use of human milk by a nonbirthing parent with the primary goal of minimizing risk of HIV transmission to the infant.
