No, I meant breast-feeding, although breast-fed would also be

'When I was a baby feeding from the breast' quite acceptably can be
shortened to 'when I was a breast-feeding baby' just as 'when I was a
baby eating rusks' can become 'when I was a rusk-eating baby'.

That is true, but 'breast-feeding' is never used in that way.
English is not a regular language :-)
