Comments on: Bye-bye Bottle: Breastfeeding Baby Dolls are Here http://www.thingamababy.com/baby/2009/07/babyglutton.html A dad's eye view of baby and toddler stuff Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:02:36 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Christy http://www.thingamababy.com/baby/2009/07/babyglutton.html/comment-page-3#comment-32308 Christy Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:51:22 +0000 http://www.thingamababy.com/?p=3634#comment-32308 It amazes me that in the U.S., breasts are considered for men's pleasure, not for babies - their intended purpose. People seem to have no problem with women shaking them naked in bars, yet use them to nourish a hungry baby and it is obscene. That is absurd.

Not surprisingly, Spain has a high rate of breastfeeding.

Baby dolls don't need bottles, they need nurturing, and if little girls can associate their pretend play with lovingly breastfeeding their baby dolls and it plants a tiny positive seed in their little brains it would be a most excellent toy to invest in.

What other possible reason could there be? As another poster pointed out, children act out many other types of adult activities all the time, and no one has any problem with that.

Why do you think children are having children these days because they grow up and dream about being mothers and then they dont use anything and guess what happens. OOPS I’m Pregnant mom." Teen pregnancies happen for a lot of reasons: teen girls feel unloved adn want a baby who will love them unconditionally; teen girls can't say no to sex because they don't want to lose a boyfriend; teen girls don't give a crap what happens to them because they feel their lives suck. But I must admit I have never heard of a girl getting pregnant because she had such a wonderful bond with her dolly while she was growing up that it seemed like a good idea.

I never liked the idea of my children pretending to feed their baby dolls using bottles since we believe breastfeeding is the way to go. So I always threw out any toy bottles they got as gifts. This would be a nice way for the kids to imitate their mother feeding a child in the natural way. Maybe if kids grow up without thinking breasts are dirty or just for sexual purposes, then they will be more comfortable breastfeeding than people today. I applaud this company. I have also lived in Spain and find the naming of the doll cute and affectionate. I think this is a great idea.
