Breastfeeding Doll – What’s your view on this?
A Spanish toy company has introduced a Breastfeeding Doll recently, and The Fox News shows ‘Red Eye’ took up the question: Is the Breastfeeding Doll an appropriate toy for girls?
Honestly, I really dislike the way the host and the guests make joke & fun of breastfeeding topic. Breastfeeding is just a natural way of nursing babies, it is not something that is disgusting. Breasts should not be always related to sex.
I would think it is a wonderful gift for the elder girls, if mommy is getting a new baby. So, while mommy is breastfeeding the newborn, the sister can play breastfeeding with this doll.
Is it really that disgusting with that toy? What is your view on this? You might want to hop over to Opposing Views to voice your comment on this question: “Is the breastfeeding doll an appropriate toy for girls?“. But I am also interested to hear your views on this here. Please leave a comment and let’s discuss? 
Some times when I am breastfeeding my 2nd daughter, my elder one also pretend to breastfed her baby doll. So, I see nothing wrong to have a toy like that. I would have get one for the elder one if the toy is not that expensive
Let them learn from young!
What ever the company’s idea of making this doll i’m sure it has a good cause.
I don’t see any problem with kids playing- “pretending” in being grown up. I wouldn’t by this toy; I think it’s a waste of money. If my daughter wants to play “make believe” she can do it without this toy. She can just, simply take a baby doll and nears it. The same way mw and my mother and my grandmother did…
All: Yup. Actually, tend to agree that, there is nothing wrong for children to imitate adults to bf. But to spend a lot more for that set, maybe not necessary. Any dolls can serve that purpose.
Whatever it is, I don’t think it is right for the hosts here to make fun of the breastfeeding issues with kids.
yeah, i am so angry with the hosts too! the toy, not necessary to be in the market lah.
