It’s all just a bit disturbing.
If a kid wants to copy something fine but you don’t have to give them a special toy so that they can turn the activity into a fetish. Nothing wrong with breast feeding (or indeed being obsessed with breasts and having fun with them!) but taking it that far for such young kids is a bit much. Let them develop their own way, and explore their bodies at their own pace.
I think I share most people’s fears when I think that e shouldn’t mess with these things at that age.
If it hadn’t appeared earlier, I would have sworn it was an April Fool.

I also don’t see the need for a doll to be put on the market solely for the purpose of nuturing and encouraging breast feeding.

4 April, 2011 at 2:32 pm #462082i dont see anything wrong with it, as pointed out by many chatters there just doing what they see their mother doing – it all depends on how the parents raise them as to how they’ll turn out.
But for kids aged 14+ who think being a mother for real is a good idea – thats who should get dolls like that to show its not a walk in the park.
4 April, 2011 at 7:04 pm #462083I think this is a step too far. Children have brilliant imaginations and can PRETEND they are breastfeeding if they want to mimic mum. We already have pooing and weeing babies, and ones that you can bottle feed. Why do we really need one that mimics breast feeding too?

The nightmare visions of “whatever next” rush to the forefront of a reluctant brain !

Just Chat Toddler Edition – stunt the development of your child’s emotional well being and speech centre by encouraging him or her to swear at and express rage towards people they cannot see and are unlikely to interact with in the flesh.
Marvel at their first troll and that day they made a perfectly decent reasonable person disappear for 6 months by the overwhelming and demeaning nature of their posts.
Feel your chest swell with pride as they get banned from the chatroom, before having to buy a new computer and change ISP before they can sneak in under the radar and post again. Be amazed to notice as they grow up that age does not mellow them, improve their chi or make them nicer to their fellow human beings.
If it’s good enough for us big kids – it’s good enough for the little ones (or weans for the Scots amongst us).
