It would make some sense. I went to CHADD's website and entered
"breastfeeding" in their site search, but got no hits. I plan to search
further.

I can give you a little anecdotal, though. My breastfed (for 18 months) son
was diagnosed with ADD a few years ago. He also had ear infections every
winter until he was 4, and he snores. My daughter, who breastfed for 2 1/2
years, does not snore but also has ADD.

While I realize this proves nothing, it does show that there are no
absolutes either way.
