Do You find this picture of a toddler 'breastfeeding' her doll offensive?

Breastfeeding toddler


It's  shocking to discover that many people appear to find this image of a toddler 'breastfeeding' her dolly offensive. 

It is a perfectly adorable photo of a little girl copying what she no doubt has seen her mummy do. I've seen my own children do the same, one with her Tigger, the other with a baby doll. I was thrilled that my children saw breastfeeding as normal and to be honest I'd have been more offended if they'd whipped out a baby bottle to feed their babies!!


Don't forget to pop back and let me know your thoughts on the story...

May Carnival of Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding made me the mother I am Welcome to the May Carnival of Breastfeeding. It's personal stories this month and we have some beautiful stories to share. They'll be added as they become available so remember to check throughout the day! Breastfeeding made me the mother I am Along time ago, when I was a girl, breastfeeding didn't mean much to me. It was simply something some mothers did. I thought it was a lovely thing to see but it was never something I thought about too much. These days I look back and see that breastfeeding has played a life-changing role in my life. From the moments after the birth of my first daughter nine years ago when she attempted her first sleepy latch, to the end of my time as a breastfeeding mother just 20 months ago, I can honestly say breastfeeding is one of a handful of decisions I have taken on my life's journey that I have never once regretted.
