I am curious of some other opinions on this topic of the breast feeding baby doll. 

Honestly I think it is a bit over the top... I mean really? Breast feeding baby dolls? To me it just seems like a very very bad idea and the thought of little girls already thinking about motherhood to that degree! IMO it is a huge difference from when we used to have a plastic spoon and an empty bottle.

    Breastfeeding is natural. The doll is a little much though. If little girls want to feed their baby dolls like mommy feeds baby brother/sister, they could just hold them to their chests.

    My friend BFs her new son, her toddler gets a doll out and sticks it on her chest like mommy without a special bra and sound effects. Kids mimic what they see. They don't need and expensive doll.

    My daughter was putting her baby doll up to her chest 2 days after I was home from the hospital.  I think the doll is a little much.

    This. The price tag on the doll is the only thing that makes me give it a side eye.

     BFing isn't sexual, people. If you wouldn't give a side eye to a toddler giving her doll a bottle, then there should be no side eye to a toddler trying to "BF" her doll. She's mothering her doll. Yes, toddlers pretend to be mothers and fathers....gasp! It's not like she's trying to have sex with or murder her doll.
