I’m confused... they react to the doll like it is their sister? They are teaching little girls to breastfeed their sisters?

Breastfeeding indicates sexual maturity which these girls are obviously not. Terrible idea.

If it looks like the Durka Durka puppets I’m sure the EU would be fine with this.

teaching young girls too soon about a natural part of motherhood

Absolutely. But why stop with the simulation? Chap up their skin and give that doll a couple teeth. Show 'em what it's really like.

This is stupid. Any girl that has younger siblings that were breast feed will already hold their dolls to their chest and pretend they are breast feeding.

I want one of these dolls. I do. I want to take it into a restaurant and watch the anti-lactates heads explode!

Only problem is... my daughter is 18. Maybe I can find a friend with a young daughter.

This doll will go great with their Abercrombie & Fitch tween push up bra.

Bottom line here in this case is $$$$$$$$$.

This article contains a link to a video of a little girl "breastfeeding" her doll. I think it comes up as a sweet, innocent girl playing mom to her doll. I don't understand the controversy. I grew up in Spain, of all places, and watched my mom, aunts... breastfeed their babies. I don't remember if I ever played "breastfeeding" but it would not surprise me one bit. These were the good old days when bottles were the exception and virtually all newborns enjoyed the benefits of breastfeeding.
