Geez, i must be a bit slow on the take, LOL ... as i must have thought the bottle would be full of either expressed boobie milk or formula
A little story for you ... When i owned my 1st barbie doll my Mum caught me trying to pinch the very hard ends of Barbie's hard plastic breasts ... Mum asked me what i was doing and i told her that I was trying to give her nipples as she had none ... Sadly instead of Mum thinking it was a good idea she freaked out & made me feel bad about the idea.
Good on YOU for getting your lil man a doll as i know my nephew when he was 2.5years old just LOVED the doll i gave him
When i was a child i lived next door to a family of 7 rough & tumble boys ... they all took turns playing with my dolls & i was happy for them to play with them ... even though i knew it was only when i went to the toilet as they were too embarrassed to play with the dolls in front of me ... i knew when they were playing with them as i could hear my Miss Giggle doll giggle & laugh !!!

Ahh this is one of my bug bears also Thankfully though, my DS does breastfeed his teddies and dolls. I haven't bought any dolls for him though - most have been hand me downs sans bottles (I would have chucked them anyway). I did buy a kit last year and made DS a gorgeous "waldorf doll" ...well worth hunting down a hand made one (or making on yourself) if you want to avoid the bottle dilemma.
yep, i have a breastfeeder here too LOL! i actually put one of the photos up in the gallery a couple of days ago as i think it is too cute! although i too have had mixed reactions from ppl. dont think i would get the same reaction if she was bottle feeding though...and no doubt facebook would censor it LOL!
BG: yeah i had some doubts that i would be able to b/f as i had inverted nipples, but DD from about 10 minutes old took care of that! LOL! you can do it sweet, sending all the vibes your way!
