Well, I did read that Cabagge Patch Dolls were making a come back. Never liked them.
Eldest daughter, when she was little, and she is 46 next Feb, had a Tiny Tears Doll.
Although I knitted clothes for it, I couldn'y bear to hold it. It was like holding a dead baby.
Incidently, I used the same pattern to knit a dress for my youngest, 42 next, to bring her out of Prem.Hospital.

And they will probably fly off the shelves, neither my granddaughters or nieces were into dolls (soft toys yes) but dolls were always discarded ....so can't say how I feel about a breastfed doll but at £60 I think a child's imagination and a reasonably priced doll is a better option :-)

Oh my grand daughter Caitlin is always sitting there with her doll at breast, She also puts a dress on sticks baby under it and laies on the floor and gives birth to it. She has been doing that for the last 3 yrs, she is 6. now :-0

I have to laugh at her tho :-D

She is a only child

Yes, it does seem a bit eurrr, but it's no worse than dolls that pooh. I still laugh when I remenber my daughter pulling up her jumper and sticking her favourite toy to her chest:
"kermit the frog is having milk from my boobies" she said, with a really maternal look on her face. Bless her, she was only 3!

I was reading about the doll earlier.
My grandson was 2 when his little brother was born - and he used to breast feed his teddy!
He asked his daddy why he didn't breast feed the baby.
When grandson was informed that boys/men can't breast feed, he was most indignant!! :-0

I was six when my sister was born and I can remember copying my Mum when she was breast feeding her, so i suppose it is just a step forward from that! But imagination is all that is necessary really.

for two year old girls and up?? A doll with which the child can simulate breast feeding. The doll also requires burping and if not - then cries - £60.

What in the name of commonsense do we need a doll like this?
