In my opinion, it's an over done doll. Why not have some conflicts over baby alive (the baby that poops its diaper)? Kids can easily pretend a baby doll needs a diaper change, and mine do, but there is a very popular doll on the market who will actually soil a diaper. No issues there. Like the baby alive, the bfing doll is another over done, overly animated doll. and though this doll does have a creepy quality to it, I find many other dolls in the toy stores to be equally creepy, but this one has the potential to help normalize breastfeeding.<br /><br />I asked my husband what he thought of the doll, out of curiosity, and his response was that it was weird (particularly the sucking nose) but if it were a normal, reasonable price and our daughters wanted it - he wouldn't say no. To be fair, though, my husband is a strong supporter of breastfeeding and it is one of our family missions to see breastfeeding become more normal and accepted. <br /><br />In the end- I think it is an overdone, unnecessary, slightly creepy, harmless dolls that holds the potential to help kids be comfortable with breastfeeding. It is way too over priced, though. I would buy it for my daughters if it was $30ish.Bess Bedellhttp://mommakesmilk.comnoreply@blogger.com
