But would it upset you to see a child latch on a doll with moving mouth mecanism Ryn? If she is being that dolls mother?

When i had milk i'd have fed a relative or close friend's baby if they had to pop out and be happy for them to feed DD in the same circumstance. Would you rather see a baby screaming in distress? If the mother isn't available? I'm not sure i would.... Would it be offensive to see a child offer a dummy or a finger to a sibling to suck?

All i mean is that i don't see why a child feeding a doll is offensive, worrying, wrong, etc. no matter what kind of doll it is.

ETA - the knives thing is because GLasgow is the biggest knife-crime city in the UK and there ARE little kids of 8 and 9 turning up at school with daddy's flick-knife, so i want to ingrain an aversion early on.
