A breastfeeding doll
So many dolls' sets come with a plastic feeding bottle, so it's nice to see some dolls that expressly (no pun intended) drink their mothers' milk. If you breastfeed yourself, it'll be good to have a toy around that echoes your behaviour, and perhaps even allows you to explain what's going on to an older sibling.
The dolls contain magnets, allowing for a variety of positionings, and the clothes of both infant and mother can be removed, adding both extra play potential for the child, and proper explanations from you, the parent, if you feel so inclined.

This is a fabulous idea - as long as it is accompanied by a well put explanation.

Babies drink milk . . . it's kind of obvious. No further explanation necessary.

Hi Everyone,
I am the Uk WAHM who designed and is getting these dolls commercially produced.
Thanks for the comments, some links /sites that have copied from the blog here have posters / members, who have nothing better to do than slate peoples ideas. One lady said they were a "poorly made rag doll" I corrected her of course! completely un founded comments. No truth what so ever.
Quite the opposite, my dolls are safe, fun and fully safety tested, made of high quality materials, by a long standing toy manufacturer of some 20 years whom have been working along side me for nearly 8 months to produce these dolls.
Dolls and bottles just don't fit in with Our family ethics personally so I wanted to give something back to breastfeeding, as its been fantastic for my sons whilst giving more choice as to what's available out there to families with similar ethics, thus promoting breastfeeding and cloth nappies! Its such a shame these people have nothing better to do than cause upset by their negative comments . Its my family lively hood after all, not some joke! If they don't like it, that's fine, they don't have to buy it do they ? But this blog sadly on other sites may do more harm than good I feel.
