I just happened to see this and I want to thank you for writing this. Your writing conveys everything that I have been saying. If we have dolls that do everything else why is breastfeeding doll something so out of the ordinary? This type of doll was long overdo! I have breastfed three of my four children. My fourth child had to have heart surgery and then another surgery for Hirshsprings Disease. Nursing when I could finally bring him home was not an option. I had to use bottles and when my milk ran out I had to use formula. I hated every minute of having to use those bottles. And they were too much work.
My daugher is getting married this month and wants to start a family right away. When I showed her the way people were reacting to this doll she was quite shocked. Breastfeeding is something that she has chosen to do. She chose breastfeeding because that is what I did with her and her other two siblings. And she has also researched just how much better it is for mom and baby.
Grown adults should act as such and stop with the rants. Breastfeeding is a natural part of life and easier all the way around. Oh my, we may show our girls that breastfeeding is acceptable...surprise. Our girls will also be the ones to be able to stand on their own two feet and defend the right to nurse their children even though some "adults" may not like it.
