Mum creates 'pregnant' and 'breastfeeding' customised Barbie dolls for children

We're used to seeing Barbie dolls in a certain way - immaculately turned out, fashion forward and pretty much footloose and fancy free.
But she's not immune to an update, or
moving with the times , and her most recent incarnation demonstrates this perfectly.
Thanks to Brisbane-based mum Betty Strachan, the stigma and mystery around breastfeeding and pregnancy are being tackled.
Betty used to repaint dolls as a hobby. Now she's turned it into a business, selling breastfeeding, pregnant and parenting
dolls on her Etsy shop .
Her motivation is simple. Betty wants to educate children around the world.
The mum-of-two told The Huffington Post , "The decision to make a breastfeeding doll didn’t come consciously.
"I'm a member of a mothers' group that's comprised of very lovely and supportive women. I remember one day, I was drawing the new face on a Barbie doll, and she just seemed to be the embodiment of the entire group."
