It’s been a hotly contested topic over the years. Are we encouraging typical gendered behaviours by giving our children traditional “girl” and “boy” toys to play with?
Gender has a significant role in how children play but it’s more important that kids are not forced to play in any certain way.
Mamamia’s Monique Bowley, Kate de Brito and Mia Freedman dissect the issue.

My son used to "breast feed" dolls while playing with his cars when I was breast feeding his younger brother. Since then he hasn't really been drawn to dolls, but if he wanted one I see no problem.
Haha....yes.....my 3 yr old son breastfed my old doll while I was BF his sister. It lasted about a week then he threw the doll on the floor and went back to his tractors never looking back.
