New doll lets girls pretend to breast feed

The doll is called the Breast Milk Baby. The commercial shows a 6-year-old girl attaching a doll to her chest to imitate breast feeding. The doll even sucks and cries.

The company that makes breast milk baby is coming under fire by a lot of outraged parents who are calling it "too much too soon" for little girls.

Company officials say the doll is designed to help little girls learn about the bond between a mother and child. "A little girl who plays with a breast milk baby now will think breastfeeding is the normal way to feed a baby," said Berjuan Toys U.S. Spokesman Dennis Lewis.

The doll is hitting store shelves here in the U.S. this spring.
