I think the trend toward hyper-realism in dolls started in the 1970s with the introduction of Kenner's "Baby Alive" doll which ate, drank, and wet its diapers.
The latest evolution of the trend is Baby Glutton, the breastfeeding doll. According to
thingamababy.com: "Your child wears a colorful bra-like halter-top featuring flowers over the nipple area. When the doll is lifted to the flowers, it makes a suckling motion and sound." A little too realistic, perhaps?

Maybe a little too far there
Ken would have to be "fully priapic" and Barbie would have to look flushed and ... 😉
Well, the problem is that breasts are sexualised in modern Western Cultures so getting them out in public is tricky.
There would be no problem if human females regurgitated food to feed infants as do several other species.
No probs... :shut:
hehehe. I'm sure humans would find a way to make vomit sexy.
If a little girl wants to play with a baby doll, that's fine. I'm just uncomfortable with the "baby dolls = training girls for their inevitable future motherhood while they're still children" concept.
My dentist breastfeed her kids until they were 6yo. To be honest it kinda distracted me from the pain of several procedures. 😊
