Yeah, I think I'm going to have to go with mama on this one. Rather odd. I certainly wouldn't waste my money on a doll like this. Why bother when your kid can come up with a doll, hold it up to their chest and imagine it crying and doing all that other junk?
But I do think this is pretty funny.
seriously!?! LOL do NONE OF YOU let your little girls feed their dollies with bottles? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? its feeding a pretend baby. I think this is a fabulous way to help teach little girls AND boys that breastfeeding is natural and normal, as it SHOULD be. Instead of breasts ONLY being seen as a sexual part of a woman. I think it is rather a bad idea for dollies to ever come with BOTTLES. talk about indoctrinating our little kids that bottle is better than breast!!
I would totally buy this for a daughter if I had one, and I might buy it for my son.
I probably wouldn't buy it, but not because I'm icked out or disgusted by it. The concept doesn't bother me at all. I just think the same thing can be accomplished with a plain doll and regular clothing (or none, as the case may be), and I'm cheap. And creative, I suppose. I mean, I'd be perfectly willing to Sharpie some nipples onto an old shirt or apron and they could even look like nipples (er, within the confines of my artistic ability) and not flowers. I suppose if it were something my kid desperately wanted as a holiday gift, I'd buy it, but other than that I'm pretty ok with regular exposure to breastfeeding as something that's just normal-- nothing to hide or be ashamed of and nothing that needs extraordinary attention. But then normal bodily functions and nudity have never been issues in my home. Yeah, yeah, those are breasts and those are (whatever appropriate) genitals. Did you clean your room like I told you?
Ya know, if the doll is a BREAST feeding doll, why are they bothering with little flowers for nipples?
Kind of like DF's baby mama teaching her son to call poo "yucky", but teaching him the proper name for his anatomy. If he can say p---s, which he does quite frequently, saying poop isn't gonna hurt him.![]()
I am glad I have boys. And no they won't be getting these dolls.
