< Buy him a doll to bottle feed to practice for when the baby is old enough.<

Surely giving a child a bottle to practice  feeding a bf baby is a bit silly?
Don't we want to teach out sons as well as our daughters that bf is the
physiological standard - yes, bottling ebm is an option, but surely not just
so the sibling can be included?!
There are so many ways that a sibling can be part of the babies life - the
exclusive bf may only last 6 mo - he can spoon feed the baby later!
I feel sad that a baby might have his bf comprimised to soothe a brother -
when there are many alternatives to let the brother feel included without
using a rubber teat (nipple I think you say)
