I was getting cranky about this at my Mum's place and she told me it would be very wrong for children to be BFing dolls. I asked why and she was truly horrified - she obviously thought I hadn't thought through what would happen if the doll didn't have a bottle! And I HATE that they have juice in! DS was playing with a bottle of orange juice one day when I picked him up from Nursery and tried to shove it in my mouth. I laughed and told him not to be silly, we don't need bottles and CERTAINLY not bottles of orangy stuff.
When I was little I had dolls without bottles and never even thought that they'd need feeding in any way, shape or form! I was never that much into playing with baby dolls though.
BG, if I can BF without breasts and midwives in the hospital telling me to give up and I'd never do it then you certainly can! Give it a go!
thanks for the confidence boost ladies - maybe my boobs got the message - since my first post in here last week, i've started to leak a small amount! not loving it (realised i was leaking when i got stuck to DH's back and it hurt like all get up when i had to dive out of bed to go to the loo in the middle of the night) - but i see it as a sign that they're planning on at least giving this BF thing a decent shot!
