THIS IS BEYOND MESSED UP:eek:

A new doll product has been released to the toy market which is designed to simulate breastfeeding. The Breast Milk Baby is a doll which has a mouth which replicates that of a breast feeding baby. The toy also comes with a bib which has flowers on it to indicate the nipple area, so the youngster using the doll can simulate breastfeeding against it. When held to the breast the doll makes suckling noises. It also cries if it isn't burped after it has been fed.

Makers of The Breast Milk Baby claim that their new doll allows children to experience the 'magic of motherhood'. The doll is packaged as an educational toy, designed to encourage more women to turn to breastfeeding naturally when they reach childrearing age, and the company's website claims that "little girls need to learn to breastfeed." It continues: "The Breast Milk Baby represents a revolution in design by teaching children the nurturing skills they'll need to raise their own healthy babies."

However parents around the world have spoken out in anger over the toy, which they have slammed as 'totally inappropriate'.

A comment on a New York Daily News article about the doll read: 'Why would a little girl need to learn how to breast-feed before she has breasts? Before she goes through puberty? This is another disgusting example of forcing adulthood on our children decades before they're ready to absorb it.'

The range of six dolls are available in both sexes and a range of different ethnicities, retailing for $99 each
