Some time ago we echoed the launch of the first infant doll created by a Alicante company. The Glutton Baby, which is what it is called, has crossed borders and is now marketed also in the United States, where has once again caused great controversy.
It is not the first time that the doll that is breastfed causes a stir. Long ago he was attacked by Fox, precisely the same television network that now accuses the toy of "being doing a lot of damage to children."
Bill O'Reilly, host of the program of 'The O'Reilly Factor', Fox News, criticized the alleged sexual connotations of 'The Breast milk Baby', a doll that comes with a top that the girls put on, approaching the flowers, the baby imitates the sound of being breastfed and then burps him.
I put myself back in the shoes of those who see it as something dangerous and I can't understand it. Children, through symbolic play, imitate everyday real-life situations. Loving is part of life, they can see it at home with their mother and a little brother and it is normal and healthy for them to want to do the same in their fantasy world. From there to think that the nursing doll encourages teenage pregnancies because girls want to be mothers at increasingly early ages there is a good stretch.
To all this, Berjuan, the toy company that created the doll has deployed all its weapons against the presenter and the chain, which he accuses of using a strategy to favor large companies of prepared milk for babies. Neither short nor lazy, taking advantage to promote the product, they have challenged O'Reilly to go to the program to give his version with a very Spanish expression: “My only doubt is if he will have 'balls' to face an adult man instead of attack an innocent doll. ”
The replica video is very funny (it is in English) and makes it clear that the best defense is a good attack.
In any case, the controversy seems excessive. It is just a doll trying to normalize breastfeeding. Do you think it is for so much?
