My son nursed his teddy bear. </p> <p>@mrskc: I really wish I had bought DS a doll before DD arrived.

One of my favorite memories :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-older-child-nurse-their-dolls-after-seeing-you-feed-your-baby#post-1661585 Tue, 27 May 2014 22:43:04 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1661585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boy is a year and a half and he's been loving on a baby doll for several months now. He likes to feed it a bottle, because he "helped" feed the little infants bottles at daycare when he was the oldest one in the room. However, whenever he wants *me* to feed the baby, I need to nurse it! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-older-child-nurse-their-dolls-after-seeing-you-feed-your-baby#post-1661492 Tue, 27 May 2014 21:10:51 +0000 Ree723 1661492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but my toddler likes to grab my boob now and say mama milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-older-child-nurse-their-dolls-after-seeing-you-feed-your-baby#post-1661296 Tue, 27 May 2014 18:58:12 +0000 Arden 1661296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww that is so sweet.

Last night, DD1 was playing dolls with my MIL. She was giving her a bottle, stopped, lifted her shirt and said "she doesn't need a bottle, she needs a boobie" and proceeds to nurse her doll. I guess I shouldn't expect anything else since the baby won't take bottles right now so that's all my oldest sees. </p> <p>Did your child ever do that? </p>
