Was trying to hold off responding but.... I have a son that was bf for 3+ years and has ADD. Yes, there is a genetic predisposition in this case. I have conversed with many LLL leaders though that have bf for an extended period of time and have children that are very bright but have ADD (ADHD). I don't think I believe in any link here except for the fact that parenting style (a la LLL) may have benefitted these children so that their ADD is not something that becomes a negative focus/obstacle but rather an issue to be dealt with and positive characteristics emphasized. I didn't say that very well but I'm sure you get my gist.
