A friend of mine just posted their website on fb.. I don't think I'd ever by this doll for any of my kids. I'm all for breastfeeding.. but teaching them so young? Maybe I'm just over thinking this..
What do you guys think?

I'd rather them be brought up that way than to grow up with it all hush hush so they think it's "icky" when they grow up. I know too many teenage moms that feel that way and it's all I can do not to backhand them sometimes -_-

Sometimes breasts get overhyped too. Breastfeeding is a natural process that almost every woman will encounter. Plus in almost every part of the world except the US, they are considered significantly less private. In nearly every country if you go to a beach the majority of women will be topless, it's not weird, it's just different then from what the US does.

A breastfeeding doll for little girls..? I saw the video and thought.. What?
It seems a little over-stigmatized and odd.
I'm all for. When I have another child I will nurse in front of my daughter, if she wants to copy mommy she can. It's normal to see a young child "play" nurse their baby dolls because of seeing their mother do it with their younger sibling. It's not in any way sexual and children should see breasts as nurturing and nutritious rather than something sexual.
OOOOAAARRGGHH!!
As a soon-to-be mother, i have nothing agaisn't it.
I am not too crazy about the doll.
I wouldn't buy it if I had a daughter but there isn't anything wrong with it for mothers who do choose to do so.
