disagree  GY Ren: lactating is a very rude word to use here, they are not cows! it women who are breast feeding, of course they 'lactate', but you don't call them lactating!

agree  Sharon Toh, MITI MCIL: Yes, since it is specified that the field is Medical. Lactating is the medical term to use.

neutral  Phil Hand: Lactating is "a" medical term. It is not the only medical term. Nursing and breast-feeding are also used in relevant contexts. http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?id=54127

pregnant and nursing women


Explanation:
Pregnant and nursing were the key words I used (together) for information search during my own pregnancy. And I got a lot of pertinent information.
The word nursing alone can have different meanings but when used together with pregnant it refers to breastfeeding.
The search results include some medical instructions or warnings (e.g. If pregnant or nursing, please consult your physician before using this product.)

While pregnant and nursing women can eat fish, there are recommended guidelines to follow, as well as certain types of seafood to avoid.

agree  Francis Fine: Echo's comment on using pregnancy and nursing together is sound and useful. Meanwhile, Ailei's argument that breast feeding is not formal (thus the worst translation) may be weakened by the increasing use and popularity in recent years.
