I actually think they are interesting. I don't find then creepy at all. They are just showing natural bodily functions. I think that they would be great educational tools to teach kids about pregnancy/birth/breastfeeding. I would let my kids play with them.

I could see for "educational purposes" like in an academic setting. The hospital, sibling classes.
But all I can picture is some little girl running around "birthing" babies.
Weirds me out.
When I was little, we would always "birth" our baby dolls when we we played "house". I don't think these dolls will have any effect on little girls wanting to play mommy. To be honest, I think this is more for the benefit of parents who want their kids to be indoctrinated (for lack of a better word) with natural birthing practices.
The only thing I find creepy are the nips. They're these friendly looking dolls with industrial nipples.
I agree with this. Not a fan of the snap nips. I don't like the idea of my daughter running around with a baby doll hanging off her mama doll's shiny metal snap nipple.
That said, I've never, ever, EVER had a problem with my daughter birthing OR nursing her baby dolls. That's how things work around here and I'm delighted she's got some vague knowledge of the process. . .

Yes, what would happen? Do you also have an issue with little girls bottle feeding their baby dolls?
Haha, they're kind of cute. I love the little cloth diaper on the one baby.
One mama did look like a grandma though,
