My daughter's Barbies breastfeed. One of them has even breastfed twins.

I was cooking one day and my daughter was playing with her Barbies (I hate
them, but she got them as gifts)  and babies and I heard her say "wait,
wait, mommy needs to open her blouse". I looked to where she was playing
and saw that she had put the baby to Barbie's breast! I ran and got my
camera, and by the time I came back, Barbie's friend was breastfeeding her
twins. I got the picture :-)

This is the same girl that once told her doll "Wait, mommy has to go and
save the world, and when she comes back she will make you a sandwich"
