Is this breastfeeding doll, aimed at young girls, the stuff of a pedophiles fantasy? Or is it a harmless toy that teaches young girls the importance of nurturing and parentingskills that she will need in the future? The doll, which hits U.S. stores this spring, is called the Breast Milk Baby, and has already been sold in the European market for a couple of years:
A doll that imitates a breast-feeding infant teaches nurturing, the toys maker says, but some parents are outraged.
Berjuan Toys Breast Milk Baby comes with a special halter top, ABC News reports.
The top has two flowers where nipples would be. When the dolls mouth is brought to a sensor in the flower, it makes suckling motions and sounds.
Dennis Lewis, Berjuans U.S. spokesman, said, There have been people who have called us pedophiles, theyve called us perverts, theyve said were endangering little girls.
Breast-feeding was a normal part of life before a few greedy pharmaceutical companies tried to make it rich selling artificial milk, he said. A girl who plays with a breast-feeding baby now will think this is the normal way to feed a baby.
The doll makes sucking noises and even cries. One young girl, in the report below, said her favorite part of the doll was breastfeeding. A company spokesperson said the doll teaches young girls the nurturing skills they will need in the future. But one viewer, who took issue with doll, observed, Now that underage sex and pregnancies are reaching shocking proportions, lets have a doll which encourages children to
get pregnant! Another asked: would you create a toy that simulated
labor pains?
This is so stupid.
I am going to say this again: any little girl that has younger siblings or cousins or neighbors that have been breast feed will hold her doll to her chest and pretend she is breast feeding.
If this isn’t an April Fools joke I’m sickened. I’m sickened if it IS an April Fools joke.
You betcha!
What ever happened to the cute baby dolls that just burped and peed?
At first I thought this as an April Fools joke, then I hoped it was.
It isn’t.
Unbelieveable, utterly unbelievable.
creepy.
Would I buy that for my daughter - no. I can’t imagine the stories her friends would bring home to their mom. Geesh, forget anymore playdates.
I want one. I do. I’d take it to a restaurant and let my daughter use it. And watch the heads of anti-lactates explode.
Sick.
Now, what will they make for little boys?
Exactly. They don’t need to create a special doll.
Would you buy the same girl a sex toy?
No, only radical leftwing pedo freaks would think of that
Absolutely no way! I wouldn’t even buy the doll that you fed and it pooped! I just knew I would be the one that had to clean up the mess.
No way, no how!
A few years they were selling stripper poles for gradeschoolers at TESCO in the UK.
No kidding.
As creepy as that may be, it’s not nearly as creepy as that show “Toddlers and Tiaras.”
Are you actually comparing breastfeeding to a sexual act?
Sadly many people do.
This is udder nonsense!
The guy that thought up this, is a real boob.
Breast-feeding was a normal part of life before a few greedy pharmaceutical companies tried to make it rich selling artificial milk,
Add lazy /too cool to bother with breastfeeding moms to the mix and I agree 100% with this.
