Fantastic! Watching some of the vids I think a breastfeeding doll could be just the thing to normalise breastfeeding.
Unfortunately, I don't think they are going to be that popular if the opinons generally held are those spoken here.

Apparently lots of parents are smart and feel the BEBE GLOTON ( breastfeeding doll) is a great teaching tool for their children as the doll is sold out (only a few left on eBay) . The doll is adorable and there is nothing wrong with it. We are a little paranoid in this country.

That doll looks terrifying when "suckling", I expect to see it featured in some horror b-movie!

But it's not the first "breastfeeding doll". There have been breastfeeding dolls for millennia -- it's one of the things that girls brought up in a breastfeeding-normalised environment tend to do with their dolls.

What it is is the first "you need special equipment to breastfeed a doll" doll. In that respect it seems more akin to the "let's make money out of breastfeeders as well as formula feeders by convincing them that they need lots of Stuff" movement recently indulged in by Boots, Avent, etc.

But maybe I'm just not a smart parent...

Not just girls Professor - DS (just 4) will still occasionally stick his baby up his jumper when he's hungry

Demo video here

I think DD would love this. I think the little flower nipples are a particularly sweet bit as well.

Mind you might give DS a bit of nipple confusion if he tries to latch onto the dahlias!

I think the sucking action is fantastic! It just needs something to suck iyswim. It's a shame that adding actual 'teat' bits to the nipples would be seen as too sexual

How is a kid meant to practise the correct latch fgs.

mummygirl · 23/11/2009 07:24

this video is even worse

Did you know that breastfeeding is comparable to having sex, breasts exist to get men to sleep with women and seeing a 3-year-old breastfeeding is like watching "dawrf porn" ( is this even pc?)

I don't want to even think the kind of fuss that would have been kicked up if this programme was broadcasted in the UK

Kinda cute. Am not crazy about dolls that Do Stuff generally. Imagination, anyone?

Dd would love it, but all her dolls are breastfed anyway, even without sucky sound effects.

MamaG · 23/11/2009 07:52

Agree, my DD (and my DS!) both breastfed their "normal" baby dolls in that clumsy, adorable, toddler way

BaconWheatCrunchies · 23/11/2009 07:53

Don't like the doll at all, why can't girls and boys just pretend without all the noises and the bra thing?

MamaG · 23/11/2009 07:55

ohhhh I could just eat you BWC

MrsGokWan · 23/11/2009 08:53

Um! not sure about that at all. I am a BF mum and it irritates me that all these dolls have bottles in there packaging. why not gt rid of the bottles.

These are brilliant though
