No and no. Individually, women can believe those things and practice them, but as Leaders , we should not be promoting those beliefs as part of LLLI philosophy. Many Leaders homeschool their children, avoid immunizations, use cloth diapers and believe the family bed is a way of life not just a way to get through the night. To the mothers at a meeting, the Leader is La Leche League. One recurring example of this is religion.
Many Leaders are devout in their chosen faiths.
They believe that their religion supports LLLI philosophy and that LLLI philosophy supports their religion. But stop and think-LLL is a nonsectarian organization. In days gone by, everyone knew the etiquette rule of not discussing politics or religion at dinner. The rule still applies at LLL meetings. It's a happy group of mothers who will return time and time again, knowing they'll get what they came for-breastfeeding information and support.
