Breast-feeding dolls: cool or creepy?

[kckady]

Bill O'Reilly is criticizing the breast-feeding dolls: http://bit.ly/TbeVTq
What do you think? Is he right? Or is the doll a great idea?

[frizzed]

I personally think they are over the top and totally unnecessary. I nursed both boys and do not think breastfeeding in a sexual way but putting a halter over your girls chest with magnets so the doll will make the sucking sound borders on pedo.

All of my kids "nursed " their dolls. A special doll seems like a waste of money to me.

Dolls are pretend, and a kid can pretend to nurse any doll. No need to add bells and whistles to the doll for that. I don't think it needs to be discouraged, but I see no reason to go above and beyond to actually encourage it, either.

I agree the doll is a bit much and a waste of money. Both of my girls used their dollies to imitate me when younger siblings were born. Nothing wrong with it. They even used a blanket to cover up - much cheaper option. Reminds me of the potty dolls. Are those still around? I'm not sure the media needs to make a big stink about it - leave it alone and sales will drop and the product will loose it's luster.
