Hi Fiona,

I use a standard baby doll from a toy shop. I've shopped through the whole town, but didn't find one without dummies or bottles attached, so I got rid of that right away, after complaining to the store manager of course :-)
The doll is newborn size (52cm) and has a soft, stuffed body and plastic head and limbs. I'm planning to put some extra weight i it's tummy to be more natural, it's not even a couple of pounds in weight now.

Warmly,

Gonneke, IBCLC, LLLL in southern Netherlands

Hello everyone

This is my first post to this list, though I've been lurking and
 learning for quite 
some time now!

Just to introduce myself first. I am a student breastfeeding counsellor
 with the 
National Childbirth Trust in the UK.

I have a question for the group.

Do any of you use dolls in antenatal breastfeeding classes for
demonstration purposes and if so could you share with me what type of
 dolls 
you use and where you bought them? I am especially interested in soft
 bodied 
dolls which have heads that can be tilted back (and obviously I don't
 want to 
buy dolls' bottles, dummys etc.).

The dolls which many of our breastfeeding counsellors have used in the
 past 
are no longer available.

I look forward to your replies off list pease (to avoid being
 'commercial' on 
list). Thanks in advance and apologies to those in the UK who may have
 seen 
this request cross posted on lists there.

Fiona
