This is a bit of a strange question but if the answer is to be found Lactnet is the place to ask!

I have made my niece breasts for her second birthday. I was inspired by a photographic book of outback indigenous Australians which contained photos of little girls breastfeeeing their clay dolls with their clay breastfs suspended on a string around their necks. 

These breasts aren't clay... rather a pale skin coloured material and then a kind of aerola coloured material (very hard to find let me tell you... and very hard not to look down your shirt to check how close material is as you look!). Anyway I have these empty breasts that need to be filled with something. I tried sand... it's too heavy. Cotton balls are too light. What other possible stuffing might do the job. It can't be too bumpy because it would show through the material!!

Any ideas?
