my DD frequently breast feeds her teddies and dollies, and this is just from watching our neighbour breast feed her child. I'm just waiting to see how this changes once the new baby comes in June and is being breast fed lots!

cute though isn't

I practised breastfeeding on my old teddy before dd arrived - wanted to try out the different positions No problems with dd so it might have helped.....

There's a pregnant Barbie isn't there? She should be a breast-feeding Barbie too.

Old news (2002) but new news to me - apparently pregnant Barbie was highly controversial.

Pregnant Barbie chucked out of wal-mart

Can you imagine what they would make of a breast-feeding one ?

dd2 asked if she could breastfeed dd3 the other day. i had picked up dd3 for a feed, dd2 lifted her top and said 'serena boobie me' and pointed to her own nipple. i had to tell her that she couldnt feed baby, only mummies can do that.

I've posted this before, I think, but it is so cute it is worth doing again in case some of you haven't seen it - and it is so relevant to this thread : )

Glad you like it - I have looked at it dozens of times, and it just makes me smile every time! His little face looking upwards in the second pic is just gorgeous

I will never forget my embarrassment as DD who had just started walking at the time toddled over to the next sunbed on the beach and started to reach for the occupant's rather copious topless frame....I just managed to whisk her away as she opened her mouth for a good suck!!!!

love the expression in the first picture too - cross between looking at the menu in an unfamiliar restaurant and 'well, I'll try anything once'
