And I was very happy to find that someone out there is striving to raise her sons in the same, non-gender stereotyped way that I am. The other comments saddened me. Its thinking like theirs that perpetuates men believing that they can't be nurturing human beings, and must follow the 'macho' example. Why are you opposed to a child pretending to nurse a baby? Would it be okay if it was a bottle? I've seen plenty of little boys do that. I think this authors sons are going to be lovely examples of men when they get older, and will make incredible fathers and husbands. Displaying "mothering" attributes in play isn't going to make them gay or anything, if that what you guys are afraid of!!!
