A <a href="http://boobiebuddiesbfdolls.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=2&amp;zenid=icmeo22a2dd4lscf57v6fl4qe5" target="_blank">Boobie Buddy</a> ($55) may help alleviate that problem. Crafted with magnetic parts, the mama doll and baby doll can attach to each other at various points, just like mommy and baby. Do you think taking the focus off of the mother is a good thing, or is it too creepy?</p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/1899450" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Breastfeeding Dolls: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding? </label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-1899450" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-1899450" name="edit[choice]" value="0-1899450" class="form-radio" /> Kid friendly - I'd love for my tot to have her own Boobie Buddy.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-1899450" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-1899450" name="edit[choice]" value="1-1899450" class="form-radio" /> Are you kidding? - This seems a tad odd for my taste.</label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="1899450" /> <span class='button'><span><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="epoll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.lilsugar.com/1899450#comment Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding dolls boobie buddies Breastfeeding Doll Fri, 29 Aug 2008 06:00:20 -0700 babysugar http://www.lilsugar.com/1899450 http://www.lilsugar.com/3932526 <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/3932526"><img width=160 height=140 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/192/1922664/33_2009/17e14ab7b7864514_gluton1.large.jpg'></div></a><p><center><object width="425" height="344"><br /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fqYoZVroBZs&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fqYoZVroBZs&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center>Teaching children about the birds and the bees is no longer a formal chat that happens during the tween or teen years. Many mamas choose to introduce the concept when a <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/3751152" >sibling makes her debut</a>. Fourteen percent of lilsugar readers say they'd purchase a <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/3082392" >birthing and nursing doll</a> ($90) to educate their kiddos about the miracle of life, while 43 percent of our mamas would invest in a <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/1899450" >Boobie Buddy</a> ($55) or nursing doll. Now, a Spanish manufacturer has created an even more hands-on toy called Bebé Glotón ($62), a doll that comes with a halter top that allows children to "nurse" the baby. What's your opinion of the product - is it any different than buying your tot a bottle-fed babe?</p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="http://www.lilsugar.com/3932526" method="post" id="poll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label><div id=poll-title>Breastfeeding Doll: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?</div></label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-3932526" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-3932526" name="edit[choice]" value="0-3932526" class="form-radio" /> Kid friendly – It's a great tool to teach kids about breastfeeding.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-3932526" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-3932526" name="edit[choice]" value="1-3932526" class="form-radio" /> Are You Kidding - It's inappropriate for a child to nurse.</label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="3932526" /> <span class='button'><span><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="poll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.lilsugar.com/3932526#comment breastfeeding Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding Toy Box Poll Nursing dolls Breastfeeding Doll Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:00:20 -0700 LilSugar http://www.lilsugar.com/3932526
