Parents' fury as breastfeeding doll for young girls goes on sale

We've seen dolls that cry, dolls that drink and eat, even dolls that soil themselves.

But now one Spanish toy company has come up with a controversial way of making their products even more authentic - a breastfeeding doll.
But Berjuan has been slammed by parents who complain the bizarre toy promotes the sexualisation of young girls.

Bebe Gloton, meaning greedy baby, looks like any regular toy, but comes with a bra-like halter top featuring symbolic flowers for the child to wear
To play with the doll, it is latched on to the petals, where it emits a suckling sound, before it has to be burped to stop it from crying.
The bizarre electronic creation, which was designed by Berjuan to promote breast-feeding, has sparked outrage among some parents who have branded the toy 'inapropriate'.

Posting a comment after watching a demonstration video online, one user wrote: 'This toy would never work in the U.S. because the public would sexualize the act of breastfeeding, thereby deeming it inappropriate for little girl to engage in.'
Another wrote: ' Honestly, I think this is awful. Now let me just be clear, I think breastfeeding is wonderful and wholeheartedly encourage it, however, it is completely inappropriate to allow a young girl to mimic it.

'Yes, breastfeeding is completely natural, but it is something that only adults do, not children. It would actually disgust me if I were to see a child using this “toy”.'
Many parents however were happy to buy Bebe Gloton for their own child as a means of encouraging the natural process of breast-feeding.
One poster wrote: 'I think is great because there are so many teenage mothers like myself that won't breastfeed because of the way society has put it in their heads not too.
'it is the best thing for them and it promotes that its the best way to keep your baby healthy, and its free, we can use that in this economy today.'
Another fan of Bebe Gloton wrote enthusiastically: 'This isn’t gross. What’s gross is a doll that poops.'
The life-like doll measures 19.6 inches long, the average length of a real new-born, and is available in either gender, retailing at around 44 euros.
It is available to buy in Spain but has yet to hit international markets.

Why would you think I have not

[quote=stopincest]It is if you have young kids of your own or young kids in the family[/quote]

Do you have kids?

If so, don't buy them this doll. Simple.

This world is not supposed to be a world free of temptation. The idea is to resist the bad temptations while enjoying the good ones.

Five year olds need to be told. Their parents should know what is right and wrong and then their childern will know. Ocean and You are right, start looking at the positive side of the world, and post postive news reports instead of dewwlling on the negatives.

Smile and embrace the positive side of the world 😃

I admit I'm against it because I think children are already growing up too fast however

the fact that you think that a child simulating breastfeeding is something indecent that takes away their innocence is really kind of disturbing. It's actually kind of creepy that you see it that way.

What's the point of a child simulating breast feeding in the first place?, they will be breast feeding for real at some stage of there life

I don't recall saying there was a 'point' to it. In fact, I explicitly said I was against it, but you conveniently didn't quote that bit.

I just think it's strange to see it as something taboo or dirty and that's the reason why kids shouldnt do it, as opposed to it's just too grown up.

I'm saying whats the point, I'm not saying you said that

Kids should not be exposed to such things at an early age thats all I'm trying to say

Yes why can't they breast feed privately? do you want them to breast feed in public?

RI_RS — Sat, 6 Aug 2011 - 01:54

You're so weird. Everyone knows the whole breastfeeding doll thing is strange and inappropriate because children are too young to be doing something so adult but only you think its wrong because of the actual act of breastfeeding as a whole.

How old are you, like 11?

The act of breast feeding is wrong for a 5 or 6 year old to fully know about

Yes. I agree.
Whats that got to do with women in general breastfeeding in public or in private?
That doesnt make breastfeeding taboo or disgusting, it's perfectly natural.
