Have you seen the breastfeeding baby doll? It's a doll that makes little suckling noises and movements with its mouth when you hold it up to your breast -- or more accurately when you hold it up to the specially made halter top you wear when you play with the doll.

So far only 5,000 have sold in the U.S. since it was introduced about a year ago. Actually, there's something about this doll that turns shoppers off more than breastfeeding.![]()
