A Mother Just Created a Breast Feeding Barbie — And You Can Buy It!

Leave it to a mother of two from Brisbane, Australia to kick breastfeeding stigma in the nub (literally).

Betty Strachan created — we believe — the first breastfeeding Barbie, which can be bought on her Etsy shop in case you want to teach your daughter an early lesson on motherhood.

She sells dolls who are pregnant as well as dolls who can breastfeed. That’s definitely an upgrade from Astronaut Barbie.

“The decision to make a breastfeeding doll didn’t come consciously,” she said to Huffington Post. “I’m a member of a mothers group that’s comprised of very lovely and supportive woman. I remember one day, I was drawing the new face on a Barbie doll, and she just seemed to be the embodiment of the entire group.So I mimicked the positioning of a latched baby with an old figurine I had and called her the ‘Mamas Worldwide Barbie.’”

Barbie is truly now every woman, don’t you think?

 

I’ve been working on a little something today 👶🏼❤️
