Angelica,Shawny because you guys are Mummys and damn good ones I will ask for your thoughts as well but I have to say this is kinda messed up imo. infant doll made by Berjuan, a toy maker in Spain, for the express purpose of promoting breastfeeding. The idea is to impress upon kids that breastfeeding is natural. Your child wears a colorful bra-like halter-top featuring flowers over the nipple area. When the doll is lifted to the flowers, it makes a suckling motion and sound. When your child’s flower nipples are activated there on a timer the baby will cry after a while to be burped but then they can apply again for more fun filled play., with baby crying for more, or beckons to be burped. The flowers don’t really get sore and cracked? There also encouraging male kids to buy this doll and to use to get them used to what the female breasts are made to do. Q: If your son ask for it would you purchase it? If so would he be allowed to play with this in public? Q: Do you think this is completly confusing to a child and these people need smacked over the head a few times? Oh did I tell you there releasing it in US this sping for easter?!! Cause nothing says easter dinner with the family more like a child breastfeeding there doll at the dinner table..

As kids get old enough to understand I'm all for teaching them how the human body works on an age appropriate level and for parents to be open and honest.
This, I just find weird.
This is my opinion but I don't feel it's appropriate for such young children. If I had children I wouldn't be giving that doll to them. I feel like it can have a backfire while yes it does teaches kids what the human body does but at the same time it makes them grow up too fast.
When I was a small girl I played with my dolls, I didn't really think about feeding them or just how I was going to feed them.
