New doll that lets little girls pretend to breastfeed

(UNDATED) - Right on the heels of that debate over push-up bikini tops for pre-tweens, a new parenting firestorm is breaking out over a new doll that lets little girls pretend to breastfeed. 

It's called the "breast Milk Baby."  The company behind it claims the doll teaches nurturing skills.  Some parents call it "too much too soon" for little girls.

The doll has already been on the market for a couple of years in Europe but this spring it's hitting store shelves here in the U-S.  The doll even sucks and cries and can be burped by the mommy-in-training.

What do you think?  Should little girls be breastfeeding dolls?  Take our KTRE.com web poll.
