Breastfeeding dolls. Excuse me but who exactly is this company kidding? This is crass commercialism at its worst.
I can see a bunch of business people sitting around a table, brainstorming the next big idea in doll sales: "Hey, I've got it! No one else has a doll that breastfeeds! We will make a killing"!
I am a mother that did breastfeed. I do believe, personally, that it is nature's most perfect food. Can and should all mothers breastfeed? No, of course, not! Are there multiple reasons why many can't or chose not too? Of course! No judgment here!
This has zero to do with encouraging a 4-year old to nurse 20-years later but everything to do with the almighty dollar.
Do I also think our society needs one more damn reason to sexualize or encourage little girls to grow up any faster than they already do?
Hell no!!
