A controversial new doll is leaving some parents wishing for the good old Cabbage Patch days.
A Spanish toymaker known as Berjuan has developed a breast-feeding doll that comes with a special halter top its young "mothers" wear as they pretend to breast-feed their "babies." The halter top has daisies that cover the little girls’ nipples and come undone just as easily as the flaps of a nursing bra would.
The doll — called Bebe Gloton, which translates as “gluttonous baby” — makes sucking noises as it "feeds."

That doll really sucks.
I’m not sure what to make of this. Breast feeding is good for babies, the world frowns on it for some reason, why the named the baby “gluttonous” is beyond me. In the old days girls would have seen their moms breastfeeding their siblings ...
Probably better than an abortion doll.
This is sort of like those dolls and toy puppies that “poop”, it’s just weird.
Just waiting for some little girl to rip her shirt open and start breastfeeding her doll in a restaurant ......
Maybe it’s trying to show girls they aren’t just things to play with?
It certainly wouldn't be the G.I, Joe we've all known.
Bet the best sales will be to trannys.
Not sure what’s weirder....the doll or the special “halter top” it comes with...
A Spanish toymaker well that’s par they have kids that have kids so I guess they need to learn early.
Babies, Dolls or Breasts?
Beats the hell out of the pole-dancer skank dolls.
I see nothing wrong with a doll that helps a little girl pretend to be a mommy.
The primary biological function of breasts is to feed babies. Our society has made them primarily a sexual organ with the feeding function considered tertiary at best and frankly a little wierd.
That’s says a lot more (negative) about our society than it does about breasts.
If I remember correctly, when my kids were young, some company came out with a doll that crapped in her dolly diaper....faded fast, no interest in crappy doll
True, but biology also has worked things out so that they don’t develop as mmammary glands until puberty.
Would there be any problem with letting little girls be girls rather than trying to push them to be grown up, whether grown up in the sex-kitten vein or the Mommy-mammary vein?
They like to play at being Mommies, which is great. But let them play at being Mommies in little-girl ways. They’ll have plenty of opportunity later for the rest of it.
When my daughters were little, they would sit beside me while I nursed their younger brothers and cuddle their dolls or stuffed animals. Nothing unusual about that.
However, a slurping doll is just a little gross, imo.
Someone gave my daughter that doll for her birthday... In less than 24 hours it was confiscated...
I can see your point also, but as others have pointed out, in olden days and in most areas of the world today, little girls routinely see their mothers and other women feeding the little ones at the breast.
It’s certainly less bizarre than pretending to feed a doll with a bottle, which has been around for at least 50 years.
It certainly wouldn't be the G.I, Joe we've all known.
I dunno, that kung fu grip thing....
Doesn’t bother me, I’d rather little girls be encourage to embrace the fact they are female than the hate the fact they are.
In our house we have BABY dolls,
not Barbie dolls.
Has nothing on ‘Cougar Barbie’ (http://vodpod.com/watch/1401412-cougar-barbie)
They could make it even more realistic. The doll could start teething after a month or two.
[shudder]
We have babies and Barbie dolls. Only a few Barbies, though, mostly stuffed animals and plastic dinosaurs.
The primary biological function of mammary glands is to feed babies.
A woman’s breasts are a lot larger (usually) than needed for just that function.
A woman’s breasts ARE a sexual display that encourages face to face sexual intercourse rather than the usual and more anonymous ‘from behind’.
This is thought to strengthen the pair bond.
>”Has nothing on ‘Cougar Barbie’”
LMAO!
Just let them be little girls, already. Let them have a childhood. Take this stupid doll and flush it.
I honestly can’t understand why anyone would be against this doll (at least from the information given here).
i’m just speechless
And I bet some of the parents so offended by this doll probably see nothing wrong with sexualizing little girls with makeup, heels, and jewelry in those creepy kiddie beauty pageants.
And I guess it's no surprise that they chose to market the doll to Americans. Our teenage pregnancy rate is several times higher than that of Spain.
Breasteses
Our teenage pregnancy rate is several thousand times lower higher than that of Mexico.
What liberal sick mind would think this up.......
You *are* aware that Mexico and Spain are different countries, right?
Anyway, according to the numbers I referenced in my last post, Mexico's teen birth rate exceeds our own only by 11 per 1000 women aged 15-19. Not exactly a huge difference.
