We KNOW breastfeeding is best for babies. We know kids role play their world. Why shouldn't kids role play breastfeeding??
Personally, I think all the new baby dolls who jump around, cry, pee and move when you walk past them in the isle are unnecessary, and a little creepy. A child's imagination does all that for the baby without needing batteries! But there is nothing especially obscene about the movements this doll makes. The babies with bottles make the same movements and sounds.
Every one needs to just calm down...
(The only mildly offensive thing about this doll is the price! But maybe that's just me.)

I think this is the best doll ever done!! My two daughters were able to play with it at their friends and as I explained then the importance of breastfeeding their babies, they decided they would throw away all the doll's bottles they had at home. Excellent... The human baby should be fed with human milk! why not let them learn that early in their lifes?Best Deals for Bebe Gloton Breastfeeding Doll
The benefits of breastfeeding are indisputable. What a great way to encourage future mothers & fathers. Kids make pretend all the time in imitation of what they see & know, why should feeding a baby be restricted to just a bottle when that's not the only way babies are fed. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world & people seriously need to relax about this!Honest reviews on Bebe Gloton Breastfeeding Doll
Leave it to the Spaniards to make a good doll. For decades, the doll industry in Spain has been innovative, creative and a leader in quality. There had been dolls with tears, whimpers, laughs...and now, the breastfeeding doll. I am happy that the doll industry is taking upon themselves to show the world that breastfeeding is, indeed, natural and wholesome. This doll is a wonderful toy. It is also a good educational tool. I am saddened that some folks tie breastfeeding to a sexual activity. This toy does not promote teen pregnancy or precocious adulthood any more than a doll who is pretending to drink from a bottle. Let us see new trends with an open mind.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Bebe Gloton Breastfeeding Doll
I think the negative reactions that some people have to this doll is a wake up call to our current distorted view on what is normal and what is not in regards to feeding an infant. The reaction of this seeming "creepy" to some people shows how far we still have to go in our culture to NORMALIZE breastfeeding. Formula companies have done an incredible job over the last century with marketing that artifical feeding through a bottle for an infant is the "normal" way to feed a baby.I have no doubt that if you watched little girls who grew up before the introduction of artificial feeding that they would have pretended to feed their babies the only natural way that a human could: by breastfeeding. Before artifical feeding was marketed these parents would not have seen this as sexual or creepy, nor would they have thought "how weird". They simply would have watched their little girl and thought how cute she was being as she pretended to be a mommy. We are currently a culture that has been brainwashed to think that feeding a baby with a bottle is normal. It is not. It is the result of billions of dollars of advertising by formula companies.
This doll is a breath of fresh air. I look forward to the day (which I believe will come though not in our lifetimes) when we look at an infant being artificially fed and we think "how weird".
