Wow, throwing people off the track is the real reason this group of women
began to call itself La Leche League?!!!
I thought the name was due to bad self-marketing. I have always contended
that calling itself the Nursing Mothers Asso or Breastfeeding Mothers Asso
would have put them on the map and in the black way sooner than using a term
no one in America knows the real meaning of.
This is totally out of my cultural brain process, my coming from European
parents who never had a problem with breasts, breastfeeding or saying
anything about suckling-- Hungarian: (meg)szoptat
