Love this doll! My only suggestion would be to put the play bra on UNDER clothes, that would be more realistic anyway. Also, I don’t like the flower “nipples” but, hey, I didn’t design it! If I had, it wouldn’t have needed a receptor, it would just have been activated by positioning, and it wouldn’t have been as loud.

Ife,
Did you read my blog? I’m not against it for any other purpose besides that the doll itself IS creepy. It’s a crap toy. It’s more “stuff”.
I don’t think is sexualizes breastfeeding. I don’t think it’s bad for girls. I just think it’s a POC toy.
Let your children pretend to breastfeed on their own, without more plastic electronic stuff!

I am a lactivist, as you would see if you read my blog history. (Or follow me on Twitter, which has been wonderfully fun in the lactivism dept this week.)
Ife, I could direct you to someone truly in need of “shaming breastfeeding” help, but I won’t post that link here, because there would be some serious head/desk action going on, and I don’t want to cause injuries. (Seriously!)

One of my sisters sent me this link to your article which also prompted me to write one of my own for my column.

This doll and what it’s simulating is not creepy. Women breast feed their infants all the time and older siblings observe and mock behavior. That’s a natural part of the learning process. The doll’s design is not overly detailed which makes it fine for a child to have in my opinion. Stop the shame on breast feeding!
