I don't know much about ADD, but found this in a local support group's
newsletter  "Breastfeeding is a natural source of Gamma Linolenic Acid, one
of the Essential Fatty Acids.  A deficiency of EFA seems to be the cause of
hyperactivity in many children."  Sorry, no reference.

Many thanks to all those who sent warm messages of welcome to Lactnet.
