One Mom's Thoughts on Bebe Gloton Breastfeeding Doll

[iguessthatsme]

Sex is also a natural act, I don't think that they should be putting out a child sized pleasure doll eithor. My problem with this doll is that it goes into to much on the grisly details of child rearing. Conception and childbirth are also part of child-rearing, I however don't even want to see the "OBGYN/HOMEBIRTH PLAYSET"

[ChaoticButterfly]

@iguessthatsme Grisly details of child-rearing? You mean like changing messed diapers? Taking care of them when they're sick? It's FEEDING. Had I not been taught about breastfeeding, right after I had my first child, I would have thought that the bottle was the way it was supposed to be. Thank god for La Leche.

[Stefandurrr]

You know what's not normal? A 5-year-old breastfeeding a baby.

[Stefandurrr]

What next? A doll that craps it's pants?

No need to pound maternal thoughts into the heads of little children.

[gavriluta01]

there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding but its wrong for a five yr old child to breastfeed a doll, ppl make a big deal about the show 16 & prego and now ur teaching then to breastfeed @ 4 or 5 yrs old

[madreemee]

Any freak who condones this needs to move in with Warren Jeffs and his mess the women in there think it's fine to sexualize little girls and make them have baby's (if they could) as young as ten! my daughter was not brought up with dolls I didn't want her to think she was only meant to be a mother and that's it! too many women these day's want females to be over the top with the Barbie syndrome,why don't you let the little girls alone and let them have a childhood? why are women so NEUROTIC?

[yokosbride]

I agree with you on this. Ever since the beginning of time, women breastfed their children. Here in America, people react to a woman breastfeeding in public the same way they would react if the same woman just took her top off in the middle of a public street. A lot of people need to learn that breasts are not something to stare at. They're what nature gave us women to feed our children.

[bouncyball777]

I dont exzactly like it but its ok!

[Gixxer42308]

I feel that breast feeding is overly sexualized. it has nothing to do with sex, it's about caring for your child. there is nothing wrong with teaching that to children and there is nothing wrong with women doing it in public.

[axi222]

I cant believe how in a country that having guns and death sentencesare legal people get mad cos of those natural things

[sarahsclips]

SMART lady.

[SmileyJoeOsmit]

I agree totally! Its your decision! Whatever makes you comfortable nobody can tell you otherwise. But whats upsetting to me is that you have people overreacting over this subject wear everyone is going to learn about later but there are baby dolls where the boys private is moving around! this is all natural just i wish people would STOP trying to force their opinion on everyone else!! GOSH!!!

[RJenne1234]

I'm obviously very late to commenting but I agree with you 110%. I also nursed my children and I see this as an opportunity for children to feel this is a natural thing. So many of my friends (same age group as me) think that breast feeding is gross. One said that her breasts are made for "fun", but the true and natural fact is that they were meant to feed. It is because because see breasts for sexual purposes they find this "gross." If not for a perverted POV this would be welcomed.

[mrsrjjenkins]

We wonder why our boys and girls are experimenting earlier, it is because we expose them to much more than they should be exposed to. No they may not imitate right then and there with what was seen but the seeds have been planted and waiting for the right catalyst to come and nurture it and then manifestation.... This is a HOT MESS!!!

[mrsrjjenkins]

Yes, breastfeeding is a natural process BUT what happened to letting a child be a child during the time they should be children. Families are allowing for society to 'sell' them on what should be and not what is proper and decent. No - this is wrong on so many levels, so many. Society shouldn’t be raising our kids..PARENTS should be the ones speaking to our children!!

This is a HOT MESS!!! And yes, I breast fed my children and created a bond/relationship between living beings.

[dkruger2000]

This sickens me. This is stupid as hell. I'm sorry but teaching your child to breast feed, especially that young, is in no way right!! A lil girl doesn't realize what a bottle nipple is meant to represent. This dumbass doll, is showing it's almost alright to have a baby way too early.

[GothKitty86]

Okay I get what this woman is saying. Yet at the same time honestly this is yet another way that is gonna end up getting younger girls to think it's okay with getting pregnant.

[KayTee8607]

If my daughter wanted this doll I would find one that is less expensive for her, that is if she asked to have it. I am not sure how my husband would see this doll, but I don't find anything wrong with it.

[KayTee8607]

I really believe this doll is intended for families who breastfeed. Those who don't breastfeed and see bottle feeding is more "proper" and less sexual, or are just seeing breastfeeding as a very private thing no one should know about unless you are going to do it for a little while and hide in the bathroom, of course they will see it as wrong. I wouldn't mind my daughter growing up knowing it is okay for babies to breastfeed. she knows mommy's boobs are for babies too and she is only 2.

[fullblastman]

I think this is a great idea.....teach them about there body as early as possible! why not a lesson on birthing? All you need is a small enough doll for insertion and the boy could play the doctor, so he can examine the process!... But the part where you show them how the baby is made?....Dang I'll have to think about that one! I know people will disagree but you don't have to teach them everything by kindergarden!!!!!!

[adfsghjn]

first of all, i don't really give a shit about this baby doll, or who has it. I do give a shit about people using the argument (for anything) "oh it's NATURAL". If you are so concerned about doing what is natural, maybe we should all just be naked, not take medications, not use birth control,or not do anything else we do that is "unnatural".

[esspears]

(continued from below) teach little girls that they are beautiful. If they have higher self esteem they are less likely to go out and get pregnant at an inappropriate age. Another thought: You wouldn't teach your little girl how to use a tampon before she reaches the age to have her period (a completely natural process in womanhood) . Why would you teach her breast feeding before it's necessary?

[esspears]

The problem here isn't with the action itself (albeit REALLY creepy) it's the teaching young girls how to be mommies. It isn't difficult to learn to breastfeed. Save that for a time when it becomes important (when they are actually pregnant). It's not rocket science. If you do think that it is natural...than it will come naturally when the time comes. No need to "teach" something that is natural. We don't teach sex. It is natural. We teach safe sex. So instead of teaching them HOW to breastfeed

[kmqueen1]

Yes, breastfeeding is natural, but a toy is NOT. I'm all for breastfeeding, but this goes beyond the norm. Yes, some children act like they breastfeed their dolls, but I don't think it's appropriate to commercialize a doll that does. It's not appropriate. Children at this age don't understand it, and it's asking them to grow up too early in this aspect. I would not be surprised if this doll has a direct correlation with teen pregnancies when these girls hit that age... not a product to sell

[pixieferrie]

I think its a great idea... It will stop my daughter from pulling up her whole shirt and trying to breastfeed her dollies lol. Its not dirty i think its a bit odd but it is natural and i think it will make big changes in how kids grow up!

[postcardpinches]

Breastfeeding is in no way sexual. I don't see how a child pretending to breastfeed a doll is any different than a child pretending to bottle feed a doll. They're feeding their pretend baby. In their mind, there's nothing else to it. It's adults that attach vulgarity to it, not children. If people didn't make a big deal about it no kid would think twice.

[kwams26]

Yes breast feeding is natural and a beautiful thing, but you still have to admit that for the age range, this doll is a little creepy.

[desconocidos27]

sex is ok as well, right mom? maybe anatomically correct dolls both male and female that engage in sexual positions to teach kids between ages 4-8 that sex is ok. i mean , it is as natrual as breast feeding, right?

[ILuvKeonReid]

U Sound Like An Ass Right Now !!! I'ma Tell U Why !!! Why The F*ck Would U Teach A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD TA BREAST F*CKIN' FEED !!! A 5 Yr Old Is Posta Learn ABC & 123 Not Suck On My Tity !!! OMG !!! What Is Wrong Wit U Ppl !!! There Is ALOT OF THINGS WRONG WIT THIS DOLL !!! I Bet Your 5 Year Old Doesn't Kno Have Ta Clean Her Own Ass !!! That's Sad !!! GET A LIFE !!! PLEASE !!! ASAP !!! There Is No Way I Would Buy That S*it For My Kid !!! No F*ckin' Way !!!

[sterlingwalters]

Very good points that you brought up! I love that you did this video. I feel the same way about breastfeeding and the breastfeeding doll. I think it is wonderful and want to buy this doll for my little girl eventually. My son imitates me, putting his baby doll under his shirt and "breastfeeding" his doll while I am nursing my daughter.

[lukapetrasinovic]

its just a doll, if a kid is stupid enough to find fake breastfeeding fun then WHAT FUCKING HARM can come from it? I'm just waiting for you faggots to say it'll make them slutty and pregnant by the time they're 14. Hands down anybody who has a problem with this stupid doll can go fuck themselves. It's a toy. A shitty toy, that will not harm a child no matter how uncomfortable adults might be with it.

[73me4u]

What's de problem with breastfeeding in public? What's the problem with breastfeeding at all? Is a normal, natural thing, nothing to do with sexual acts.

Concerning the doll., for me it is marketing, no need for a special doll for children to pretend they're breastfeeding.

[fbdt]

I don't see any problem in this kind of doll. Many people say that this toy stimulates the sexuality too early in the kid. I think this is not the real problem.

The real problem is the absence of correct information about sex to our kids. If the parents don't care about it, the kids will learn from incorrect sources, leading to early pregnancy, diseases and many other problems...

[jtaray]

I don't see what the problem is. Breasts are Gods way of showing love to our infants. We are the ones that have made them dirty by over sexualizing them and we need to stop. When baby needs milk who the F*** are you to tell mom to go hide yourself while jr. gets his milk on. Grow up people.

[AndreaW]

I think breastfeeding is normal and natural and should be accepted anywhere it is sanitary (i.e. don't make moms and babies go in the restroom--ikc!) But I'm not so sure about this doll. My daughter pretends to breasfeed just fine with a normal doll (or a teddy bear, or Potty Elmo). She doesn't need to strap on falsies to do it. That's the part that kind of creeps me out. Plus it stifles the imagination to do everything for them. No need to spend the extra money other than consumerism.

[cafleen68]

"and the women might get raped because a guy see's her breast/breast's ."

I've never heard of a case where a woman breastfeeding in public was later raped by some person that found them a great turn on. Do you have evidence of this?

[cafleen68]

Thank you for your sensible assessment of this doll.

[lordboojum]

Breastfeeding a baby is not sexual...sucking on your girlfriend's breasts is. There wasn't that simple?

[PenguinsNWolves]

I think that everyone has their own opinion. Just don't harass others because of their opinions.

[Brendabusymom]

I FULLY AGREE!!!! My four year old daughter pretends to nurse her baby dolls all the time. She has a baby sister who nurses. This is a normal and healthy part of life. This doll should not be controversial!

[allindiastore]

the doll is available on ebay for $112 including shipping, you save about $10 by buying it in the USA as shipping from Spain is 30 Euros or $45

[angelwolf333]

i accept your apolagy and admitting you were wrong.

even though you were being unsencere i belive you know you are wrong.

what you think doesnt mean its ok for the majority.

who dont want to see private sexual or nature things in public.

[sqwish1984]

Oh, thank goodness. It made me pretty uncomfortable that you kept calling me and other people perverts and attention whores just for expressing opinions that were different from yours. Not only that, but you kept bringing up explicit sexual acts that no one else had mentioned, which I thought was a little uncalled for.

I was starting to think you weren't a very nice person, but since you've forgiven me, that can all be water under the bridge. So, I'm not a sick perve anymore right?

[angelwolf333]

pervs do love this.

i think breastfeeding is great.

i encourage it.

i just dont think little girls should be taught its ok for them to have something or someone suck on their chest where breasts wil be someday.

and i dont want to see in a public place people getting nude from waste up or down men or women.

and i dont want to see any nature acts in public none. sex, pissing shiting, orgasm, breastfeeding, birth,

masterbation.

i dont wanna see any of it

[sqwish1984]

Fine, I accept that. That's how you feel. I disagree with you because I don't feel that breastfeeding is sexual, but I'm not trying to change your opinion or thrust anything on you. Honestly, if you had said that to begin with instead of attacking people, I probably wouldn't have felt the need to respond. Besides, do you really think that everyone who disagrees with you on this issue is a pervert? Did it occur to you that moral, reasonable human beings could have different opinions?

[angelwolf333]

i dont think breast feeding is sexual either but i know there are people out there that do.

i dont wanna see it but more importantly there are pervs out there that look for this for their "pray" .

and the women might get raped because a guy see's her breast/breast's .

women and little girls have to be super careful. or bad things will happen to them.

ive heard the bad things from to many friends and family members.

keep them shy and dont encourage them to grow up to fast.

[sqwish1984]

Well sure, but there are also people who think that feet are sexual. That doesn't mean that we should keep our feet covered in case that someone sees them and is overcome with lust.

Besides, it's mostly not random perverts that commit rape. Most victims of rape knew their attackers beforehand (friends, acquaintances, boyfriends, husbands, even relatives). How do you protect against those people? I don't think that keeping our bodies carefully covered at all times is the answer.

[angelwolf333]

who want to see this other then perverts.

i dont want to see people reproduce "fuck" in a public place.

thats my point i dont want to see any person nude in public.

you are to stupid and warped to see my reason.

your a perv that begs for attention.

by wanting to show your tits off in a public place.

teach your kids what you want but force your beliefes on us and make us watch.

do it in private like are by law are not allowed in public pissing, shitting, cumming,masturbating ect ect

[sqwish1984]

lol, okay. You win. People who think differently from you are warped and perverted, and you are well adjusted and have flawless morals. Hope that works out for you.

[angelwolf333]

yeah find another reason for them acting lke this.

would you like to see a male have sex with a girl and cum inside her and make a new child that is perfect

[sqwish1984]

Maybe I was asleep for that part of my sex ed class, but it was not my impression that breastfeeding plays any part in reproduction.

You're trying to make an act that is no way sexual seem dirty. It is a woman feeding her baby. That's all.

What would be truly morally reprehensible would be sending girls the message at a young age that their bodies are only sexual objects. Compared to some of the scantily-clad, sexualized girl dolls on the market, this doll is absolutely refreshing.

[bnelson33186]

I think that it is perfectly fine to breast feed your baby, but the problem is that I don't think it should be done in public like the in the mall or at the park.

[angelwolf333]

to " tracy35125 "

ill translate for her. look at me look at me listen to me im a woman who likes attention look at me please please daddy why didnt you love me wasnt i cute or sexy enough for you i need your attention so bad.

just another stupid attention whore willing to use their own baby to get it .

she already admited she didnt want to see other nature acts in a restaurant but only the one she gets off on.

[sqwish1984]

Wow, so you're saying that women who choose to breastfeed their babies are actually just looking for an excuse to expose their breasts in public in order get sexual attention from men because their fathers didn't love them?

Thank you for that amazing insight, Dr. Freud.

[tracy35125]

I breastfed all 3 of my children. If they were hungry they ate.Some offered bottles. I offered the breast. It was the natural thing for my daughter to breastfeed her baby dolls aswell. That was what she knew as normal. She did pretend with bottles but I often found her shirt up breastfeeding her babies. The doll is adorable but I am not sure I want my little girl wearing "fake boobs" . To each his/ her own though. Nothing wrong with the doll or concept just not sure about the boobie tank top.

[JordinASparks]

i agree! it's good for them! but.. they might be a little young is all...

[GoosesGirlforlife]

The issue I have with this doll is that you are trying to teach your young child about breastfeeding. Why not let them pretend, do what they choose with their baby dolls, and teach them by sitting down and talking to them about breastfeeding/bottle feeding. Why do we need a doll to teach this? If parents just took the time to teach their kids about sex and breastfeeding and the likes, there might be a change in how these topics are perceived.

[hotcherry67]

I do not think this Doll is really anything bad...Its not teaching children anything sexually...Parents should not over-react over this little doll.

[hotcherry67]

I agree it is a natural thing, i really think people should breast feed rather then use artificial milk products. Its much healthier for the baby, and really thats the reason we produce milk when we are bout to have a child. So we can breast feed them. Why else would we have breast and nipples?

[killingjanni]

I think the purpose of a doll like this is not to teach little girls HOW to breastfeed, but rather for them to grow up and see it as a natural thing---future generations of women won't have to fight for their right to breastfeed in public (which they should never have to do in the first place).

Further, it's your choice as a parent whether or not you buy a doll like this for your child. YOU decide what to teach your children and how/when you teach it.

[killingjanni]

Women are now forced to go out to their car or into public restrooms to breastfeed because it might offend people (when there's no reason for it to be offensive). Can you imagine if we viewed all eating as offensive? Would you want to eat lunch in a public washroom?

[killingjanni]

In western society, breastfeeding is often seen as a negative thing by people. I had a friend once tell me that she would never breastfeed her children because it was "gross". It's not gross--it's natural! However, with the creation of bottles and formula, breastfeeding is no longer seen as normal and its frowned upon to breastfeed in public.

[killingjanni]

I think this doll is a great idea and I think the creators were very tactful in its design (i.e. the top isn't padded and has little flowers where the nipples would be, so it isn't as if the child playing with the doll is putting on fake breasts).

I'll probably repeat some of what has already been said, but here's my input:

Breastfeeding is natural. It is not a sexual act. Yes, breasts can be viewed as sexual, but not in this context. They are seen as sexual by adults, but not by children.

[tracy35125]

Hey I just posted a comment on this and said I wasn't sure about my little girl wearing fake boobs. Then I seen your post and understood the shirt doesn't have the actual nipple just kinda like the magnet things that the spoons and such in Baby Alive has. Makes better sence. YES!! I now love this doll!!! If you ask me Baby Alive is gross...who wants to play in that mess?? Yes, my little girl had one of those too though. This doll is wonderful and I would absolutely buy it for my daughter!

[Insaneindabrain35]

Its ok to have a doll like that when you're

not like 5. Why not just give them a boy doll or something.

[ohkmonica]

Perhaps it will teach girls to appreciate and respect their bodies knowing that they are not just a sexual being for others to lust at or something to be ashamed about! Buy one for your sons so he can learn to respect women as well.

[3KidsnUs]

It sure is nice to see a comment from someone that clearly "gets it".

People, our breasts are NOT sex symbols...they were made for feeding infants/toddlers. That's it! I understand the handicap you have when it comes to breastfeeding because the majority of Americans were taught that bottles are for babies and boobs are to be stared at...but this is just another way we can help change the views for future generations.

[mayamaya]

@3KidsnUs Would you let your daughter play that toy in public? Don't you worry that paedophiles might look at your daughter in a creepy way?

[iguessthatsme]

@mayamaya Good point.

[ohkmonica]

Come on people, you dont say here darling people get pleasure from sexual intercourse to make real babies like this toy-one. So why would you say dont you dare pretend to breast feed because breasts are for sexual pleasure? Breast-feeding is not sex! Sex is only in your mind! Kids learn what YOU teach them, they arent born seeing breasts and suckling as something sexual. Its only sexual if you tell them it is.

[bnelson33186]

If a bottle represents a tit, then what do you suggest is a good idea to use to feed our babies instead. I don't think a cup with a straw is a good idea. But does a straw function as a penis? It is a long tube and someone is sucking on it trying to get some liquid out. I think if you think a bottle is a representation of a tit then you are just a perverted person.

[bnelson33186]

If that bottle represent a tit, then we need to take down every building that looks like a penis.

[3KidsnUs]

You have buildings that look like a penis and function like one as well? Interesting. Because that's the comparison I was using with a bottle to the function it serves...as a breast.

[bnelson33186]

Ok fair enough.. But what about a syring shot? That in long and tube-like and it is used to eject a liquid out. Should we make baby dolls with a penis syringe and tell our 7 year olds to put the shot in the mom's pussy and put the cum in? Then wait a day for a baby to come out?

[bnelson33186]

We could call the baby doll. "Make your own baby."

[3KidsnUs]

Again, the comparison is nothing of the sort. The function of a syringe is medicinal.

[bnelson33186]

Syringe medical? Not so much. Yes, syringes are used in medicine, but so are bottles. Bottles are used in medicine to deliver liquid by mouth and syringes are used to deliver liquid by penetration. Should a diabetic not bring his syringe in public because to some people (obviously not you) functions as a penis? Why don't we teach our babies how both the female and male anatomies fucntion.

[bnelson33186]

Oh I know why we shouldn't... It is because that is a sick idea. I don't think at 7 it is the right time for a child to know how the birds and bees work just yet.

[3KidsnUs]

That's a personal decision for every parent to make on their own. Our children are taught about the proper terms for body parts and how they function when we deem it appropriate. And yes, I do think a mature, keyword mature, 7 year old is capable of beginning the discussion on sex.

[bnelson33186]

Well then in my opinion I think you should take a syringe and tell them about how a penis works. I am NOT condemning you on that. However, I think you should respect other parent's ideas on how to raise their children. If you want to tell your baby there is no Santa Clause then do it, but be courteous of other parents who choose to teach their children about Santa Clause.

[3KidsnUs]

I think that's where you are misunderstanding my opinion. This doll is the perfect option for parents who DO want to teach their children about breastfeeding, it's not mandatory to buy it, just an option. If you want to teach your children to bottle feed, that's great too. Regardless, this doll is not being forced on anyone nor is my opinion of it.

[uppymemama]

@bnelson33186

in case you are not aware of when is the best time to discuss the birds and bee's with your child!! a child psychologist was on the radio about a group of kids ages 13-17 who were followed for one year and waited to see if they were ever talked to about sex, over half were sexually active in that age range before they even had the sex talk! The doctor said the best time to talk to your child is the first time they ask where do babies come from! I think this baby is a great idea.

[bnelson33186]

@uppymemama When you want to discuss this topic with your child is your own business, but it is no ones right to say how you should raise your own children. SOME psyc may recommend it, but it is the parents right to raise their child how they wish. Having the talk about the birds and bees is very different then telling them to imitate a breast-feeding action. You may tell your 5 or 13 year old about sex, but do you want them to imitate that as well?

[angelwolf333]

to the idiot that sent me the message breasts arent sexual like a penis or vagina. you must be retarded most hook ups and couples are together because a guy likes a girls tits and that why they talk to them in the first place. might not be moral but its the truth tits are probably mre sexaual then the mouth for sure and to a lot of guys the most important thing for them to ever talk to the girl in the first place.

[angelwolf333]

i dont think a male should be allowed in a public place without a shirt on either that why all public places have a no shoe's no shirt no service.

i dont want to see any half naked people man or women while im out eating or drinking.

have some fucking class and quit begging for attention because thats why they do it is to get a rise from people htat are disgusted at their animal attitude.

its also nature for people to kill but thats against the law also. do you think its ok to kill??

[tracy35125]

If not ..maybe we should rethink this one too after your comment! And as far as class.......are you sure you understand that word? Judging from your language... probably not.

[angelwolf333]

pissing and shitting is nature so is sex. can i do those things in the middle of a restaurant.

if you think its ok to flop out you tit in a restaurant why cant i flop out my dick to attract a female.

or to fuck one it is natures way.

if one is ok then they all are.

i have nothing against breastfeeding but i dont wanna see it any more then i want to see you piss or shit or get fucked or fuck someone. and with kids this young its almost pedo advertising

[angelicexcel]

One problem... That won't attract a mate.. and Breastfeeding in public shouldn't be a deal at all, the baby is in the way of you seeing the tit.

This Doll is far from Pedo.... How could it be pedo if they have to put on an extra layer to make the doll work. Don't get me wrong... it's creepy to watch a 6 year old do this...

And that's what she missed in this video. There isn't an outcry on this because we don;t like breast feeding, It's thinking of a baby sucking at a 6 year old.... is icky.

[revelwoodie]

angelwolf333: You're a sicko. I can't believe you just compared a nursing baby to pissing, shitting and fucking. You've got issues, dude.

I'm sorry, but if you can eat in public places, so can my baby. And if you don't like it, you can fuck off.

[Tondaactress]

but a guy can go topless, so why shouldnt a girl be able too.. im not saying i want to but breastfeeding isnt sexual, penis' and vaginas are!!!

[enlightenedone676]

You're eating dinner.... why can't your baby?

[tracy35125]

You're just plain sick!

[36hesperia36]

Woo hoo!

I'm so glad you made this video, I needed this after watching a few too many negative reviews of the breastfeeding doll.

I think if a doll can bottle feed, and that is fine, a breastfeeding one should be MORE than fine.

[ecstasy709]

Yea it's natural.. But WTF?! These are dolls for little girls preparing them to breast feed therefore promoting pregnancy earlier in their life!! Come on it's giving them an idea that they're gonna be ready for a baby soon!! It's gross!!

[enlightenedone676]

If that's your argument I hope you don't buy your child any baby dolls.

Then we'll see later in life how they treat their own children.

[ecstasy709]

no i will not buy my SON any baby dolls and due to cervical cancer i CANNOT have any more children and little boys don't play with dolls but i'm sure he will treat his children in the BEST way he can.

[killingjanni]

Um.. I'm pretty sure that LOTS of little boys DO play with dolls. The idea that they don't or shouldn't is the kind of idea that tries to push children into stupid gender stereotypes and make them feel horrible about themselves when they don't fit into those prescribed roles.

[killingjanni]

I think the point that enlightenedone676 was trying to make is that if you argue that playing with a breastfeeding doll would encourage early pregnancy then you're basically saying that playing with ANY doll would encourage early pregnancy, since the method that a child chooses to feed their doll has nothing to do with having children at a young age. Most children grow up playing with dolls and there is no correlation between that and having children young.

[ohkmonica]

You say that pretend Breast Feeding promotes pregnancy and having a toy-baby wont? I dont get it. Because the same line of thinking goes for giving her a baby doll to begin with.

So what your really saying is that, baby dolls are preparing them for motherhood and having a toy-baby will make little girls want to have sex and get pregnant. Then OMG hurry take away all baby dolls and burn them quick!!!

[dyanivirgostar]

Any regular doll can be held up to the chest to mimic breastfeeding. I think the flower nippled tank top is a bit awkward, though. I dont think it's making any sexual statement before it's time. Its putting the idea of breastfeeding in kids minds, not absurd and perverted. Breastfeeding and bottle feeding serve the same purpose to an infant, why is that concept so hard for adults to grasp? But with all that said, I wouldn't purchase it.

[Sepharite]

I wouldn't mind letting my daughter use it if she wanted to. But I wouldn't let her play with it in the public, it just looks ridiculous. :P

[broyomama]

How anyone can object to breastfeeding - anywhere, covered or uncovered, etc. - is beyond my ability to understand. Women should feel perfectly free to nurse anywhere they wish to, and whether they cover up or not should not make a difference to anyone.

[ccswch]

I can't believe some of the comments here! I'll never understand why "adults" feel the need to be so rude. Okay, so you don't share 3kidsnus's opinion on the doll, so move along, you don't need to be so hateful about it!

And breasts were made for breastfeeding, why is it so awful to teach children that?

[teresalara21]

Man I don't know what this woman is thinking. where is the innocence of the kids. later on they will come up with a doll that shows little girls how to have sex or something and it's going to be okay cause it's NATURAL......This is why the world is the way it is CAUSE People are so so sooooooooooo DUMB

[jdbb1975]

Why are you calling her dumb you ignorant twit.....

[teresalara21]

I can't tell you why cause you wont' understand cause you are dumb too....lol

[russianxroulettex]

Yeah! Agreed. thumbs up.

[Feedmadcat]

Why is it that you must be taught that some parts of the body are shameful, yet other actions naturally can bring on different emotions. If it was unnatural, why must you be taught that it is?

If anything is "unnatural" here, it is filling your child with unnecessary guilt because of who they are.

[Shelshocka]

ITS DISTURBING FOR YOUNG KIDS

[Tondaactress]

HOWEVER! would it be natural for us to creat a TOY teaching the details of how to use a tampon? or how to pull the forskin back on a penis to clean it properly?? this is also completely natural yet we dont create things to teach those "benifits" of life either... bottom line is: Its not necessary and for me a bit discusting, but I just wont buy it.. if you dont like the toy dont purchase it!!!

[3KidsnUs]

Tampons and foreskin have nothing to do with feeding baby dolls. And while there may not be toys on the market for it, I can guarantee there are children's books.

[wishingyouwerescene]

when i was young, lets say, 13 years ago when i played with dolls, i NEVER pretended that my baby doll was sucking on my "boobs". I dont think its "natural" for children to be playing with the doll that way, i really think its creepy. And the bottle nipple reference was retarded, if it was shaped another way, it either wouldnt fit in the babys mouth, or they could swallow it. and as someone said, this is adult behavior, kids dont need to be getting into that kind of stuff. Innocence is dying.

[3KidsnUs]

This is an adult conversation so lets please use grown up words...retarded isn't one of them.

While you may not have pretended your baby was breastfeeding, you more than likely pretended to feed it with a bottle...the exact same act, playing "mommy" aka "adult behavior". So why is it okay to teach children to use bottles with their baby dolls and not breastfeeding?

[Tondaactress]

I never said it was not ok... i just said i am not okay with it. i think that a child will learn in time. yes its a natural act but most children done "pretend" to have babies, and no tampons and forskin arent feeding a baby but they are totally natural acts that could potentially yeild some creepy toy! all im saying is that if you had an anitomicaly correct baby (boy)doll to change, that had forskin it would be a bit odd!

[wishingyouwerescene]

oh get off your high fucking horse. i can use any word i wish to express what i want to say, retarded is in fact a word, and as an adult using one here, i can conclude that it is a "grown up word". It is not the exact act, using a tool to feed is different than using a body part, a bottle to kids is like using a fork or spoon to eat. i didnt wipe my babys ass if i pretended it craped. just think it is taking it too far, the sucking motion and the sound is just perverted.tondaactess is right.

[RJenne1234]

I completely agree with you. I have a 3 year old daughter. I breast fed her and her brother for about 13 months. I have often seen her lift up her shirt and put the baby up to it like she was breast fed. I see nothing wrong with it. Its sweet. I woudn't allow her to do that in public. But with the doll I would see no problem with her playing with it in public. Again, its sweet that our children see something that is natural exactly that, natural. Props to the makers of this doll.

[olivia4490]

Okay..your comment is very childish, and I take it we're PROBABLY around the same age? I'm 19 btw. correct me if i'm wrong... If you ARE older than me, then "wow" is all I have to say.

"and as someone said, this is adult behavior, kids dont need to be getting into that kind of stuff."

The way you say it makes it seem sexualized and dirty which is not the case at all.

[wishingyouwerescene]

you are right its not dirty, its awkward for me anyways, and i just think that its not something kids should be exposed to so early in life, if they are going to go that far, what shouldn't they let kids in on? it just seems they aren't leaving much up to the imagination these days i suppose.

[Tondaactress]

whos comment is childish???

[olivia4490]

I was replying to someone else. if I replied to you, you would've gotten a message in your inbox that said I replied to you. =)

[olivia4490]

and this quote killed me.

"INNOCENCE IS DYING"

Really?.........Really? Please explain how a child's innocence is lost forever after a parent explains to them that they use to drink milk from their mother's breast. Is it the word BREAST that disturbs you? Well get over it, we all have them. If milk was produced from our elbows would this even be an issue? I understand if it creeps you out but there are A LOT more toys, ads, and tv shows that can negatively effect children..

[wishingyouwerescene]

that statement wasn't referring to the breastfeeding doll, it was a general statement referring to the things kids are subjected to , like Handjob Montanna. and those shows and toys you mentioned.

[Tondaactress]

I am 9 months pregnant with my second child! The fact of the matter here is "Is this doll useful, or perverted?" heres the deal, The doll is teaching that women may choose to breast feed their babies, WOMEN being the correct word here. A 6 year old little girl usually doesnt even get where babies come from yet and if they do, im sorry to say thats sad. but YES breastfeeding is a natural thing, we have catorigized all body functions into sex...which is wrong! HOWEVER

[sarita1978]

and furthermore, the referrals of this doll being a sexual object or porn remarks is exactly why there is such a stigma with women who choose to breastfeed, in public, for example. The doll will not teach the message, it would be up to the parents to purchase and then show the child what it's about. That is between the parents and child. While you may not want it for your child, that is totally fine. But telling others that they should not, just because you don't like it, is wrong.

[sarita1978]

Enochian---then we need to contact all of the toy stores and tell them that their stores need to close. A lot of what's in them are your "adult materials". Like kids having mini cars (Jeeps) and kitchens, and then (oh the horror!) the entire doll department. You have a problem with this doll, yet there are strollers, swings, playpens, etc that are intended for children to play with. Aren't those products that represent the consequences of pregnancy?

[TheAnxietyAttacks]

Breastfeeding is something that comes naturally anyhow. I do not believe that teaching small girls this at this age will be helpful to them at all. I find that it is a bit perverted. The children are little, it's not as if they're going to remember this when they're teenagers. If you want to teach them about breast feeding, be sure to include how sore the breasts become, disproportions and the work it takes. Do it the way the rest of us learned. not the way the media is teaching.

[vulondra]

I completely agree. This is a good idea. I have breast fed 6 babies. I have went to breastfeeding classes to see what other women plan, and to my surprise they don't plan on breastfeeding. They feel it is icky or unnatural. That is a shock, since that is what our breasts are for. I hate the when I am out, I have to cover up my babies face, so people won't see my breasts, but that isn't isn't right, and my babies hates it. She gets very fussy, as it gets hot under the blanket. Grow up people!

[Irishqueen88]

i think a doll is a doll and any kid who gets it is gonna play with it for ten minutes and then get bored and go watch boo-bah. big deal.

[EnochianBorg]

We hope so. But that does not mean marketing sex to minors or marketing adult materials to kids should be legalized just because they may watch a porn for a few minutes and then just go play hopscotch. Yeah it is a big deal if we just give up all forms of morality and allow this to be acceptable in our country. I don't accept it. And it will be marketed on television as if it is correct morally even though (I voted no!) So then play porn with Saturday cartoons? Where is the line?

[Irishqueen88]

ok i am really NOT going to get into this with you but comparing an overpriced toy ($65, by the way) which dosen't do anything truley offinsive except react when it gets near a magnet in an apron to the wide world of porn that has a tught an entire generation of children that sex has no meaning and love is for idiots is ridicules. at the very least this doll shows girls that thier breasts belong to them and they can decide what to do with them. people threw a fit about barbie too, look at her.

[Tsubahi]

To be a sex object or a baby/milk machine.

What a decision to make for a young person who would one day grow breasts.

[EnochianBorg]

You make a great observation. And undeveloped young persons should not need to contemplate human reproduction or the requirements or consequences thereof. They only need to know that they may someday become an adult and will need to be responsible for their actions. Besides pregnant women are given lactation advice during pregnancy and after delivery in the USA. There is no need for a doll to teach children about it.

[EnochianBorg]

I don't want idiots like this influencing my daughter and causing her to learn about things before her time and creating interest in her body parts which will have sexual functions in the future by boys before it is time. This would only lead to sexual exploration by children and preteens causing tween pregnancies to increase and welfare recipients to increase in numbers as well as teens dropping out of school. This doll is not for kids period.

[3KidsnUs]

Well maybe you should use this as a way to teach your daughter that her breasts (or future ones) are NOT meant to be a sexual object but rather used for their true purpose...nutrition.

[EnochianBorg]

Unfortunately for you I also dissagree with that statement. The female breasts are a sexual object to men and have the main funtion of nutrition to newborns.  However I will teach my child that both of those functions are for adults and at the appropriate age.

[EnochianBorg]

Stop right there... It is inappropriate for the age group that the doll is marketing towards. If this doll is marketed toward pregnant women to encourage proper lactation it is appropriate. Children have no need to practice breastfeeding as they are not developed yet to do this human function. Don't be confused.

[3KidsnUs]

So wait...you're saying it's inappropriate to teach children how to properly feed babies the natural way, but it is appropriate to use dolls that come with bottles, which by the way are shaped exactly like our breasts. That makes a lot of sense.

[EnochianBorg]

No, I am saying that they do not need to practice doing the action of properly feeding babies because they are babies :) And the baby dolls with bottles are just as appropriate but are not meant for children to play. The whole concept of children acting out like adults in adult situations including being pregnant is not appropriate. Pretending to be an adult is not the problem but pretending to be sexy or pregnant crosses a fine line of superimposing sexuality upon the child.

[tracy35125]

Come on ...you can't be serious!!! We were not designed by God with a bottle in hand? We're not saying it's ok to teach them about "sex"....just plain and simple feeding a baby. That's all!

[jollyrogers6]

Also, I don't think this doll is "teaching" children anything. If your child has seen you breastfeed her sibling, she will most likely mimick you when she plays with her dolls. If she has never been exposed to breastfeeding, I highly doubt she will have any interest in playing with this doll.

[EnochianBorg]

I think it is teaching the children that actually mimicking exact adult behaviour is right for children. Basic mimick is good for child development of the imagination but going into the details which do not concern children is beyond their scope of capability and installs a false sense of adult responsibility of which they are incapable of controlling. Your spreading your disease among innocence.

[jollyrogers6]

The reason this is disturbing to Americans is because we are conditioned to believe that all women's breasts are sexual objects belonging to men (instead of the way to feed babies designed by Nature).

[EnochianBorg]

You say this like American has something to do with this subject. This is a matter about age appropriate behavior vs. teaching natural acts for adults to children whereas the acts are not needed by the child although the child may understand the need for an adult to do these acts that understanding does not make the acts appropriate for. children.

[tracy35125]

Assuming you have a child...did she/he ever pretend to bottle feed a baby doll? What's the real differece? It's just feeding a baby.

[hamsteroni]

kats9lives5 should tell it to bill o'reily, ann coulter, glenn beck, and every other extremist conservative out there .

[kats9livesfive]

I think this "thing" would not have to happen if those in certain "cultures" would get their act together and use BITH CONTROL.. And wait to have sex when you are married and CAN AFFORD!! This Catholic thing is promoting countless births that will just keep those in poverty, and drag down those that are flipping the bill. Wake up. Using a condom, or birth control is not killing a baby. I am so amazed about how ignorant you guys choose to stay. This makes me sick to my stomach.

[3KidsnUs]

What does birth control have to do with breastfeeding?

[EnochianBorg]

This is not a cultural difference. This is a premature teaching for children. They may be taught about the function and understand it's need but do not need to practice the function since they are sexually undeveloped at the preteen age and only pregnant women might want to have suck a doll for practice before giving birth. This would have been perfect for my wife but not a child.

[noajoy123]

Rock on! You are 100% right on about this. If its ok to give a baby doll a bottle, why is it not ok to nurse a baby doll?

[pwadep32]

Should we teach breast-feeding before we teach sex? I thought one came about nine months before the other. I think anyone getting the breast-feeding doll should get ready to have, THE TALK. I dont see how you can have your child strap on breast implants, hold a suckling doll, and still answer The stork brings them. Dont even get me started with. What if the fake breasts are bigger than your girls when she grows up? That shouldnt be a self-esteem issue! ...But I could be wrong...

[jacobsmommy924]

I really don't think your argument makes much sense.... I didn't breasfeed my son, however I am breasfeeding my daughter. My son sees this on a daily basis. He knows I am feeding his sister. I don't feel it necessary to give him the 'sex talk' just because he sees this.

Little girls who see their mothers bottle feed, will want to bottle feed there baby dolls. If all a little girl has seen is her mother breastfeeding, then she will want to breastfeed her baby. It's normal to her.

[EnochianBorg]

Your statement makes sense.

But we don't need to promote that children practice breastfeeding or bottle feeding as needed for proper child development because it is not needed. And where you say "It's normal to her" you are correct. But little girls usually understand breastfeeding as a simple function they cannot fulfill so they need not really attempt the function. And mostly In such cases the child develops normally. You do not teach young boys how to ejaculate properly right?

[bsnowwhite0789]

they aren't fake implants... it's a tee shirt with the little flowers to represent nipples in that area... no added padding or anything... just a tee shirt with flowers

[sniper2120]

That makes no sense. In that case, we should teach sex before bottle feeding too. And sense either breastfeeding or bottle feeding is just EATING, then are you saying we should teach sex before eating?

[EnochianBorg]

Why teach the function without the capability?
