Yes, I am a proponent of breastfeeding.  That’s how I fed my children, influenced by research that proved that breastfeeding is a wonderful way to nourish your baby.  (Important to note– it’s not the ONLY way to feed your baby.)

I hope my daughter will consider it, many years from now, when she’s a mother.  Interestingly enough, she may get a chance to experience it sooner than we thought.  Turns out, a company in Spain has come out with a doll for young girls, Baby Gloton,  that simulates breastfeeding.

Girls wear a flowered vest, and hold the doll close.  When close to the flowers (which are right where the breasts would be), the doll makes a suckling noise.

From years of nursing my kids, I know that breastfeeding is absolutely normal.  I know that other dolls simulate other activities, including crying and peeing.  But, tell me, am I the only one who finds this a little, um, creepy?

What do you think?
