Bec, I wouldn't like to see a child BF a baby just because I don't like the idea of anyone else BFing my baby - so to see a girl with no children letting a baby latch on just for comfort would make me upset; it isn't about sexuality, it's about mothering. BTW, I didn't know you could get dolls with moving mouths to feed! I guess they've changed since my sister had baby dolls. I'm more than happy to have children ask me about BFing; Niece was really interested in it the other day when she saw DS having a feed (although she's too young to articulate any complex questions).
No swords/daggers/guns... maybe I'm the only one who will be OK with swords/daggers. Not guns, but then boys whose parents don't let them have "violent" toys just use twigs or fingers to pretend at these toys. I was into LARPing from a young age so needed swords and daggers (wooden ones when young!). I have always respected knives. DH has a BB gun, I don't see anything wrong with owning something you take responsibility for, but then it's about responsibility with older children/teens and not young children.
I'll still force DS to play with swords as I want a LARPing buddy, I hate the fact I don't have any these days! (Partly joking!)
