I breast feed because it's the best thing for children..unfortunately my mother didn't breastfeed me or my sisters and they see it as wierd! One of my sisters even said it was "perverted"... ummmm ok? I can see the wierdness in a doll that breastfeeds tho.. I also just gave birth and saw your video of your birth and it was very encouraging thanks for posting it! I told myself that I problably wasn't going to be able to do it but guess what I DID IT!!!! YAY!!!! I totally subscribed!!!

[MamaNaturalBlog]

@tigerlilly699 Way to go, mama!!!!! Glad you are breastfeeding :). XOXO.

I am all for breastfeeding, and when my daughter grows up having kids of her own she will know whats bests and want wats best, not because of a doll, but the morals and values I teach her through my life. We as parents are not just gaurdians but shepards of our sheep. If that makes any since. Our lives we live are the examples we lay out for them. I chose to breastfeed because I want my child to have the best. But the idea that was planted came from my mother, who Breastfed all my sisters.

[MamaNaturalBlog]

@TheAKAmom Amen. I remember watching my mom's friend breastfeed and it totally stuck with me. When it came to breastfeeding Griffin, it didn't seem "weird" because I witnessed it at a young age.

My natural birth was the hardest thing I have ever done. BUT I did it! She was a full 9 lbs 15.7 oz. I only kicked the doctor once and punched the nurse twice ;)

[MamaNaturalBlog]

@rockrgurl00 LOL! You are my kind of gal :). XO. Way to go!

[xoxazurixox]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!! Definitely keep the mamanatural show going :))

[tnrkustoms]

Love love love the show! I'm not sure if I would buy the doll for my child... but if you think about it, its the same as dolls that come with bottles. I'm disgusted that people are so uncomfortable with bf-ing in public. I want to ask them if they are disgusted by adults eating in public because that is all babies are doing.

[TheTacosAreHere]

I am late, but I am gonna post anyway. Hell yes I would buy that for my daughter (or son if so be it). Girls are gonna pretend to breastfeed as is if their mothers are doing it. For instance my little cousin (age 3) held a monkey up to her chest, and when asked what she was doing responded with "Shhh, the baby's eating." It was so cute and innocent, not to mention inspiring.

[rockellea]

I breastfed my daughter. She is 3 now and when she plays with her plain, old, un-mechanical doll - she nurses it. She also changes it's diaper, burps it and comforts it while it crys. Dolly cost $5, imagination priceless.

[halleee122]

I'm 15, and even I know that honestly, breastfeeding is natural and it's definitely the way to go. There's certainly nothing wrong with that doll!

[ShmeePadge]

children should definitely learn that breastfeeding is normal! 

[Kayleikinz]

I honestly wouldn't mind buying the doll for my daughter. I think it seems weird because a doll like this is uncommon. Think about it, though. All little girls see are baby dolls that come with bottles. Even if she sees someone breastfeeding their child, she always plays by bottle feeding. I would think that would help cement the idea that bottle feeding is the more natural way of feeding a baby. I like the idea of there being an option out there that shows bfing as something that isn't weird.

With both my pregnancies my mouth would water for pepsi & coke slushies! I didn't have nay weird cravings with my daughter but with this pregnancy I want bbq sauce on baked potatoes! In fact I want bbq sauce and ranch dressing on everything lol

[snowsamurai00]

If the breastfeeding doll ever gets pull, the ones with formula should get pulled. It's up to the parents to say if it's right for their children or not.

[blackstarr5]

Idk if I would buy a breastfeeding doll necessarily, especially since they're just gonna breastfeed their other toys anyway. Lol.

[marydeltenre4]

If my daughter asked for it sure I would get for her. But, like many people posted, why would a child need a special doll to nurse? Any child can play nurse with their babies. Breast feeding is natural!!

[Racllie]

My daughter pretended to nurse her babies all the time! She doesn't need a special doll for it! :-)
