'Breast Milk Baby' Drawing Criticism From Some Parents

Adults have been prepping little kids for adulthood in a lot of wacky ways over the years, but a Spanish company's new breast-feeding doll for kids may take the cake.

The Breast Milk Baby works by making motions and suckling sounds when a sensor in its mouth gets close to a flowery halter top the child wears while “breast-feeding.”

The doll has already seen success in Europe, generating more than $2 million in sales for its maker, Berjuan Toys, since it was first released in Spain four years ago.

But the reception in the United States has been mixed.

Some parents aren't happy. And on a recent episode of “The O’Reilly Factor,” Bill O’Reilly criticized the doll, saying, “I don’t like it. . . . There’s a lot of harm being done to children.”

The dollmaker says it's just teaching children nurturing skills.

"There's absolutely nothing sexual about breast-feeding, "Berjuan Toys U.S. spokesman Dennis Lewis said. "It's good for mommies, it's good for babies, it's good for society."

I think this is great! Breastfeeding rates are DISMAL in the US exactly because people think that breastfeeding is somehow sexual, or "personal" or even disgusting and lower class.

This is how all human beings are supposed to be fed. Exposing children to it is NOT wrong.

I agree.. I breast fed both of my babies. Bottle fed with cows milk is not normal for babies to consume. Which is why babies tend to develope a lot of allergies.

SO this doll actually teaches girls/boys that it is NORMAL to breast feed.
