Is America Ready for Breast Milk Baby?

Debate about a toy doll is brewing as its maker, a Spanish company called Berjuan Toys, prepares to start marketing the Breast Milk Baby in the U.S.

Designed for children 2 and older, the interactive doll simulates breast-feeding. It comes with a special halter top for the child to wear, featuring two flowers in the chest area that represent nipples. When Breast Milk Baby comes in close proximity with the flowers, it makes a suckling sound as though imitating a nursing infant. The doll also cries when it’s time to eat and burps after the meal.

The doll, known as Bebe Gloton in Europe, could be available in the U.S. soon if things go well for Berjuan Toys at a Las Vegas trade show next week.
