good idea, bottle as an accessory. i have PMT at the moment, am not thinking clearly... i was just surprised at the responses.
i understand some people choose to express and bottle feed or ff or feel that is their only option but i don't believe it should be normalised and i see selling dolls with bottles doing that. i believe that children play to learn about themselves and their world, that it is not a random act and that the only reason is for fun. i believe it is natures intention that play helps children understand their world, because this is my view i guess that is where my annoyance has come from. a child can play school, play car driving, play cooking, play parenting and this then sets them up to go to school, drive a car, cook and be a parent. if they see a toy with a doll such as a bottle then they are more likely to ask about it and role play with it, thus believing this is how feeding a baby is done. advertising has a big impact on how children see the world therefore i would prefer to not fight an uphill battle by having bottles in almost all dolls accessories and i would prefer to be able to buy natural birthing/breastfeeding dolls here and not have to go overseas to do it.
hope this has help people understand why i believe this. thanks for all your responses, that's what makes the world go around.
