Breastfeeding baby doll

Re: Breastfeeding baby doll

    Not a big deal to me, I pretended to nurse my dolls when I was little (around 6) b/c my godmother was BF and she kept me in the afternoons so I saw her BF M-F.

    I think it's a waste of money but it may encourage girls to BF when they grow up and have babies. I think people forget that kids don't see breasts as sexual until they get introduced to the idea as they get older.

    "A controversial toy doll is set to hit US stores, leaving many parents protesting in extreme anger"

     

    Extreme anger...over a doll? Pussification of America folks!

    Ehh, I don't really have a problem with it, but I wouldn't buy it,. I don't really like "realistic" type baby dolls anyway, like going to the potty dolls and things like that.

    Whatev. My goddaughter (2.5) sits next to me on the couch and pretend-nurses her baby dolls while I nurse DD. Perfectly normal for small kids to mimic normal, mundane adult behaviors. I'm just glad she thinks nursing is a normal, mundane adult behavior.

    Seems like a dumb purchase, but it doesn't bother me.

    This is exactly my thought on it.  I have friends who have children a bit older than their babies and they mimic.  I obviously see nothing wrong with that or with this doll, but I think $80 for something they're probably going to do anyways is a waste of money.

     

    I don't get why people are upset....

    My DD used to pretend to nurse her dolls when I would nurse my DS. I didn't see anything wrong with it and I even took pictures of her.
