bebe gloton

There is a new toy on the market in Spain called Bebe Gloton. It is a doll baby that breastfeeds. Basically there is a little top that a child will wear, that has little petals where nipples would be located, and the doll "latches on" to the petals. You can literally hear gulps, burps, etc. The baby was brought to my attention on my local news this evening. Apparently people are outraged. I can kind of see where people could be upset. In my opinion, there are many dolls that poop, pee, eat, drink out of bottles, and Barbie has boobs and long skinny legs. Why not teach girls an alternative and more natural way to feed babies other than a bottle? Perhaps if more women were exposed to positive examples of breastfeeding as children, then they would be more likely to breastfeed their own children which is the most healthiest option for babies.

I'm not sure if America is ready for this particular doll. Breasts are so sexualized in this country. People are so easily offended by everything. Including seeing a mother feeding her baby in public. Babies have to eat. In my opinion, if you don't want your child playing with it, then don't buy it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. We can agree to disagree. I'm ok with that.
