re: toddler pretending to breastfeed- offensive?

Quoting Mother of Broccoli.:" Not offensive at all."

I didn't think so either.

Super cute. My older Ds used to do that too when his bro was a baby. I thought it was darling.

Quoting kate♥[j&a]:" "

So cute! in no way offensive... she just wants to be like mommy  

Quoting kate♥[j&a]:" My daughter pretends to BF her baby dolls sometimes & even her baby sister from the time to time ... [snip!] ... she just had her shirt pulled up a little & was holding the baby doll to herself (no boob or anything actually showing!)."

My DD does this, she also 'wears' her baby, it makes me nothing but proud that she is doing these things. Children learn from example and who knows of enough mamas make it acceptable to play BFing then their children may be more likely to BF without fear/discomfort in the future, It can only be a good thing IMO

My thoughts exactly. I think my son is gonna grow into a great advocate for breast feeding and natural birth and be a terrific support for his future spouse!

I hope he marries a semi crunchy girl like me  

I wouldn't think it's offensive. But I do think some people are jerks and probably would say rude things about it, depending on the people on your friendslist. I probably would not, but I would put in on BG because this site is full of women who understand and would appreciate it.

I agree completely.

That's what i was thinking too. And it would probably be my own family that would say negative things about the picture.
