I would tend to agree that breastfeeding/attachment parenting families may be larger. I have noticed this among my La Leche League colleagues. I am certain that the average family size for LLL Leaders would be a bit larger that the norm. Most of the LLL founders had very large families. This leads me to a chicken and egg question. Are these women having more babies as a result of their breastfeeding/attachment parenting experiences OR are they motivated to breastfeed/parent this way for the same loving reasons that they choose to have more children? Probably both! I'm glad that many breastfeeding mothers are having more children than "normal" as they may help to tip the balance in favour of breastfeeding/attachment parenting.
