I really need a Breastfeeding Doll  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
My SIL (who I do not really care for) just gave up on breastfeeding after 2 weeks. She had her valid reason (infection from a clogged duct) and doctor's recommendation to stop of course . The baby just was not getting enough milk

So I am concerned about my daughter (age 3.5) being around a FF baby and thinking this is normal. I have had a really hard time finding a breastfeeding doll and mommy doll though. We do BF her dolls but I have let a few baby bottles slip into her toy box. I did pump for 12 weeks (8 times a day) until her mouth grew big enough to fit over my large nipple but then she BF for over 3 years.

So anyone know where I can get a doll and mommy set that will breastfeed? None of the google links I follow seems to work or the place is I find is not taking orders (Waldorf Mini Mamas)

HELP!

Why can't any doll breastfeed? We've never owned a set breastfeeding doll as we wouldn't want ot deprive any of them of the chance...Nor any of the toys. I think I've nursed an alligator and a sharp tooth recently.

Honestly, my child hasn't breastfed since she was just over a year and she nurses her dolls and toys, etc. as does her brother, who at 3.5 saw/sees her get bottles and tube feeds, etc. And yet he still uses tandem nursing as a reason to steal her stuffed animal "It needed nursies mama...See, its sweepin". I don't think seeing a single bottlefed child will suddenly undo 3 years of breastfeeding.

My child just nurses all her dolls and stuffed animals. And some times smaller ones nurse from bigger ones. LOL And when she has a bottle, I say that baby is getting EBM. LOL Because at DC all the babies get bottles - though only the lucky ones get EBM the rest get formula.
