sorry to write again on this subject, but i remebered something that might be 
important:
one of the problems of nurses and doctors in what regards physiologic things, 
like delivering and breastfeeding, is thata most of them never went thgough or 
even saw and non-medicalized delivery or lived breastfeeding or saw 
breastfeeding around them. and so, the social beings they are take their 
personal (wrong in a scientific perspective) convictions to their work.

LLL is right requiring that leaders be mother that breastfed. it makes ALL the 
difference. 
i know, some women may be good counselors although they never breastfed. 
but one must admit that if you never latched a baby to your breast, it may be 
difficult to help somebody doing it. and they may have a sense of 
(unconscious) envy of mother that could (without their interference) 
breastfeed.

don't you think this is important?
