Slightly more than one quarter of the physicians, 29%, characterize La Leche League as "overzealous/extremists" and 6 % say that the League induces "guilt." These criticisms are most prevalent among the Pediatricians and Family Practitioners and less common among Ob/Gyn's. Also those under 45 [years old] more often voice these criticisms than those over 45. Nevertheless, on balance, the strong majority of physicians provide positive or neutral descriptions of La Leche League. Attitudes Towards La Leche League International: A Research Study Among Physicians. Conducted for Professional Services Division, Proctor & Gamble and La Leche League International, by HMB?Creamer Research and Glick & Lrwin Group, Creamer Dickson Basford. November 8, 1985.
