We have ALL seen those dolls that can cry, that can poop but have you seen the doll that can breastfeed? Berjuan released a doll a few years back that claims to be the first breastfeeding doll. It is available in the UK and can be found over at Amazon for just £25.15 delivered here*
After stumbling across this doll, I wanted to investigate a bit more because I found it very unusual that this doll has been on the market for years yet I have never, ever heard of it. I came across a video that shows the advert for the doll, which contains a LOT of breast(feeding) for those that are are a bit prudish.
I was not surprised to see an array of people saying the doll is disgusting, since a minority of people still link breasts to sex and not to their natural role in life. Personally, I breastfed all three of my children for a significant amount of time, and for that reason I don't find this doll offensive or inappropriate. However, it does unsettle me a bit, and I don't know why.
One things for sure, this doll should be famous, but it's not even thought it's one of a kind. Is breastfeeding really that taboo that a doll can be pushed to the back of the toy market?
We are dying to know your thoughts on this doll. Watch the video, and tell us what you think over on our Facebook page.
