Hello everyone. I have a big ask! I am doing some research looking at how children learn about infant feeding and am having a terrible time finding descriptions of children breastfeeding their dolls. I have the fabulous photographs from Donald Thomson in Australia but little else. I believe that the following reference (it's of the anthropological type) describes mothers using dolls to teach their children about childcare including breastfeeding however, it is not held by any library in Australia. I was wondering if Lactnetters might check if they have access to it. I would be oh so grateful for any assistance!
