New toy that teaches girls to breast feed their doll... what do you think?

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
So I was watching the news and this story came on that caught my attention:
"Breastfeeding Baby Doll: Does New Toy Cross the Line?"



I think for little girls they are going to mock what they see.  I just had a baby a week ago and my 3.5 year old daughter has even lifted her shirt thinking she needed to help her brother eat.  So I understand the child who see's mom feeding a younger brother or sister is going to be curious so why not teach them young??  But does it cross the line?  I don't think it is making our girls grow up faster.  DO YOU?  I mean I would hate to take away any innocence from my daughter and I grew up with out a doll that did it all: eat, pee, poop, breastfeed, etc etc.  Will this doll help a girl learn how to nurture?  I don't really agree with this either.  I believe that God has it already in us and we don't need a toy to teach it.  I do think the child will learn some of it by what they see mom or dad doing at home. 

So I guess I am in the middle I don't really think it takes away any innocence and I don't really think having the doll will teach more nurturing then other dolls.   I would love to hear other opinions on this doll!  Please leave some comments... also I will be closely monitoring the comments so no big mean debates.  PLAY FAIR   

So there is a video an article to read more about this:


ps... if I have more typos then usual please forgive me as I am still on pain meds and a little loopy!

I have nursed all my children, I am currently nursing my 3 month as well. A few weeks back my 23 month baby girl lifted up her shirt and put her baby doll up to her breast, my hushand & I just looked at each other in aw! It was kinda weird. At the sametime, she is learning what God inteeded it to be. Do I think they should sell dolls for it now! They are trying to make money, why would you teach a little child how to nurse? It comes natural once you have a real baby. I know many may disagree but that's ok, we are all entitled to our own opions. :)

It is a natural behavior to mimick mommy. I think it is another gimmick to make money. Not to mention get the American public up in arms. Just more things to take our minds away from more important issues.

Personally, I think it's okay. My daughters (even my 8 year old!!) breastfeed their baby dolls. I hope they grow up and breastfeed their babies! There are so many other ways our daughters are "growing up too fast" ie Barbie dolls (which I don't allow in my house anymore!). You have grown up dolls with breasts and long legs and sexy clothing...but people are throwing a fit about a babydoll that breastfeeds?? Which is natural?? Puh-lease.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
