i found myself educating my nieces this morning - they're 8 and 4, and both bought baby dolls to stay over at Aunty BG's with them. neither can remember being BF, and the older can't recall the younger being BF - so when they were scrapping over the one bottle - i told them to get over it, bottle feeding shouldn't happen until babies are much older - they should be BF first if their mum's boobs work (my mum had BF issues and couldn't feed, so didn't want judgement if mine don't work!) - anyway, i had to explain what it was, why it is better etc
about an hour later, the older was changing her "baby's" nappy, and asked what else you do with a baby apart from nappy change, BF, burp etc. i was mighty proud - she took it on, and didn't think twice about it - was gorgeous!
