Breast Milk Baby Gets Dr. Toy Best of Year Award
Berjuan Toys is proud to announce that its new Breast Milk Baby doll has been awarded the Dr. Toy Top 100 Best Children’s Product of 2011, and specifically honored with the Dr. Toy Top 10 Socially Responsible Products distinction.
Dennis Lewis, the U.S representative for Berjuan Toys, said, “We’re extremely pleased that our doll has earned the Dr. Toy awards. The honor is a very satisfying recognition of our philosophy to bring education, understanding and fun to children through imaginative, nurturing, pretend role play.”
Berjuan Toys’ Breast Milk Baby (MSRP $69.99) lets young girls imitate mothers in a natural, caring way. In addition to nurturing skills like changing, bathing, swaddling, singing, rocking to sleep, and cuddling a healthy baby, the Breast Milk Baby doll is designed to help children learn about one of the most natural ways to care for a baby.
“Many baby dolls come with plastic bottles as accessories. Our doll demonstrates the most natural way that a mother can feed her baby,” Lewis said.
The Breast Milk Baby simulates the breast-feeding process by including a fashionable halter-top that a young girl can put on like a vest and when she brings the Breast Milk Baby doll’s mouth up to the pretty flower decoration on the vest the doll makes a soft, suckling sound. The two flowers on the halter are positioned where the nipples would be and when the mouth of the doll is brought close to the embedded sensors in the flower, the baby makes motions and suckling sounds. After the feeding motion the doll makes crying sounds to be burped and swaddled.
