Bebe Gloton or rather Baby Glutton

You shouldn’t have to wait for breasts before you start breastfeeding.

Bebe Gloton, the first breastfeeding doll will be introduced in the United States this September.

Never having seen a breast feeding doll, I immediately visited their website at berjuan.com.  Further research led me to a video of a little girl putting on a halter that resembles a nursing bra with a pair of daisies that substitute for nipples. The young girl then begins to feed a crying baby doll. A sensor in the halter and in the doll tells her when the baby is full.

So how do people feel about Bebe Gloton?  The Daily News took a poll asking, “Would you let your child play with a breast feeding doll?”   The results are as follows: nine percent of the people answered "Yes", eighty-one percent said “No, its not age appropriate” and ten percent voted “I’d have to see it first before making my decision.”

How would you vote?  Cheers!
