bunting

hamil and/or berbadan-dua and/or mengandung only refer to people
for animals, the term is 'bunting'
'bunting' also can be used for 'paddy', i.e. padinya sudah bunting.

hamil or mengandung

"Hamil" and "mengandung" is the usual term.
"Bunting" is used in part of Indonesia (not all), even in some part considered derogatory.

I don't understand your question about the "menyusui susu", it is usually just "Menyusui".

"Bersusu" in the other hand, have a sexual meaning...;)
