My 16 month old son has a baby doll.. because he used to love them. So we got him one of his own and ever since we got it he hasnt touched it once.lol... I dont see a prob with it. I dont know if i would get my son a doll stroller but the dol is fine.

I think it`s perfectly acceptable. My son recieved his baby doll stroller for his 1st birthday and he uses it ALL the time... its one of his favorite toys but as you can see.. he doesn`t put dolls or even his `lovey` in it.. he perfers to stroll his beloved kitty. lol

Baby dolls grow our inner mothering, I`m sure it does for the inner fathering too. I let my 4 year old play with a baby doll while I was expecting. He loved it and took it everywhere with him. It was his way of showing he was excited. He lost interest in it after a while but is very nurturing and sweet to his brother. I love what Tara quoted. I also think that at that young of an age a baby doll isn`t a girl toy to a boy yet. It`s not much different than any other toy.

I recently read this quote that said ` Why is it that we are so willing to raise our daughters like our sons but will not raise our sons more like our daughters`. My son is only 8 months old but he plays with my daughters dolls. As he gets older I still won`t discourage him from playing with dolls... I hope one day he grows up to be a loving father and the idea behind little girls playing with dolls is that they are `little mommy`s` so why can`t little boys play with dolls and be `little daddy`s`?

I think getting your son a doll is a great idea to prepare him for the next baby I know it helped my daughter understand a lot more about the baby and she found it to be a fun game to copy what I did with the baby with her own `baby` ;o)

I`m getting my son a doll. I`m 23 weeks and want him to get used to a baby. I don`t understand what people have against boys playing with dolls.

My 22 month old son plays with an old boy cabbage patch doll of mine. I found it a couple of months ago and he kept saying baby, baby. He carts it around sometimes other times he tosses it out of the toy box to get something else. No harm!

I think its a good thing!! I have two younger brothers and they always used to play dolls, house, dress up etc with my sisters and I. They even had girl names for dress up sierra and Megan!! They are both grown now and are manly men lol. . One has a baby coming in a few weeks and seems like he will be very good with the baby...
