A breastfeeding doll?

I saw this doll on the news today and I just HAD to post about it! A Spanish company has come up with a doll for children that simulates breastfeeding, called Bebe Gloton.

Ok, I'm all for the promotion of breastfeeding and all, but this might be taking it a little too far! The child actually has to wear a halter top that has fake nipples in order to pretend breastfeed their doll baby. The doll even makes sucking noises and cries when it's hungry.

I can kind of see what might have sparked this idea because I have seen first hand how interested a toddler can be when their mother is breastfeeding a new baby and how they might be anxious to mimic the act, but I think this may be a little to contraversial for today's society.

What do y'all think about this doll? I'm interested to hear some opinions!
