The Breast-Feeding Baby Doll

Trog is creeped out, but Daley Gator merely notes the "controversial" nature of Bebe Gloton:
A Spanish toymaker known as Berjuan has developed a breast-feeding doll that comes with a special halter top its young "mothers" wear as they pretend to breast-feed their "babies." The halter top has daisies that cover the little girls' nipples and come undone just as easily as the flaps of a nursing bra would.
The doll -- called Bebe Gloton, which translates as "gluttonous baby" -- makes sucking noises as it "feeds."
Yeah, a bit weird. But maybe we should ponder whether make-believe motherhood is really a worse play-time activity for girls than whatever imaginative future is symbolized by those trashy Bratz dolls or, God forbid, pre-teen pole dancers.

  1. I don't thind it should be on the market. Little girls do not need a doll to teach them how to breast feed. I know breast feeding is best but for peeks sakes.. Keep little girls little girls longer. You teach them that breastfeeding is fun and its just going to promote early sex and pregnancy. I would not buy this doll for any little girl.

  2. you are disgusting. Breastfeeding is not SEXUAL
    !!!!!!!!!! I am offended by a doll with a bottle. That can ruin breastfeeding and if you start that young you are just starting teaching them that they may have a problem breastfeeding. Stop stop stop!! I can't stand this!--Why don't you just donate some MORE money to a formula/pharmaceutical company. They don't give a damn about any of our babies!! They want thema all to be sick so they can sell more meds to us---FORMULA makes babies sick and DIE!!! HOw dare you say something like this.
