Intersting question about whether boys from breastfeeding households are
less likely to bottle-feed their dolls than girls.  Perhaps girls pay more
attention to babies and feeding in general, like on TV and when out in
public, and so pick up more on what "Good mommies do."  Boys may tend to
ignore babies outside the family, and be more likely to mimic their specific
mother??  Just idle wondering.

All three of my children, one daughter and two sons, breastfed their dolls,
and my son with Down Syndrome was observed one day in kindergarten
breastfeeding a fire truck.
