    Very!!! Shouldn't be allowed to teach your kids that this is 'the cool thing to do' - They should make the decision for themselves.

    I personally think the idea of the doll is slightly strange along, however i do agree that for some reason there is such a stigma about breast feeding.
    I used to work in a specialised maternity store and so often i would have customers coming in very upset about how they where treated when breastfeeding in public. (we would always let mothers use our shop as a place to go to breastfeed). There was even a lady come in to the shop in tears after being asked to leave a coffe shop whilst she was discretly breast feeding as apparently she was driving away customers and they stop watching her till she left .
    Although i do not have any children of my own I myself believe that breastfeeding a child is the most natural thing we can do and i think it is very offensive for people to act asthough it is somewhat disgusting.

    I find it a little peculiar, but I think it's good that it takes (maybe some?) of the taboo out of breasts.

    I still don't understand why boy-nipples are ok, but girl-nipples are naughty. It's silly.

    That said, I have a very faint scar across my cheek because I wanted to mimic my Dad when I was two years old and cut myself shaving. :blushing:

    And is it really any different than shoving a pillow up your shirt to pretend you're pregnant? What little girl didn't do that? Even as the ultimate tomboy, I did that.

    When my sister was breastfeeding my neice....my nephew used to take a GI Joe to bed with him at night put the GI Joe up to his chest and say "SHHHHH...I'm trying to get the baby to sleep."

    I don't think we need a special doll for it???

    Not a big deal. Of course, I whipped one of my funbags out at the train station in Florence because I had a hungry baby and sat down on the curb to do what I needed to do. Whipping funbag out or crying, screaming baby. It was an easy decision to make.

    I don't see the issue.

    :laugh:

    Agreed, the screaming child trumps modesty.

    HELLOO!!!! This is on Weekly World News... you know, the people that gave us Bat-boy, and all the other stuff that the National Enquirer didn't find fit to print.


    FYI - YES, I breastfed both my boys for 13-15 months and I'm proud of it, but before you go being all judgemental on an article/product make sure it's not a SPOOF first!

    Was about to say the same thing...consider the source...Weekly World News.

    They probably took a regular "eating from a bottle" baby doll and turned it into this. th_eyeroll.gif
