Outrage Erupts: Mom Breastfeeds DOLLS and Sparks National Fury!

A woman from Ronkonkoma, New York, has been making waves online for an unusual choice: she breastfeeds her reborn dolls. Despite the disapproval from many, Kelly Cunningham, 27, proudly cares for her seven dolls as though they were her own children. Although she admits to receiving strange looks from onlookers, she remains steadfast in her commitment to her unconventional form of care.

Kelly’s love for her reborn dolls grew from a deep desire to nurture and parent, something she longed for but could not experience with biological children. Her journey with reborns began on her birthday when she purchased her first doll. What started as a single purchase soon blossomed into a collection of seven dolls that she lovingly refers to as her family.

Breastfeeding these dolls is Kelly’s way of forming a close, physical bond with them. “The way I see it, it’s just a doll I’m breastfeeding,” Kelly explained, adding, “If I was breastfeeding a real baby, no one would say anything, so why do people get so mad because I admitted I breastfeed?” While Kelly does not produce milk, she dedicates time to the activity, citing the physical closeness as her primary motivation. For Kelly, it’s less about nourishment and more about feeling connected to her dolls.

Initially, Kelly was embarrassed by the stares she received when taking her dolls out in public, particularly when she breastfed them. But over time, she learned to brush off the criticism and judgment. She recalled feeling particularly uncomfortable when people stared at her while she was out with her first reborn doll, Jennifer, but now she takes pride in her unique lifestyle. “I don’t care anymore what people think,” she said.

Kelly’s involvement in the reborn community has not been without challenges. She quickly learned that breastfeeding dolls is frowned upon even within that niche. Despite this, she continued to pursue her passion, creating content about her dolls on TikTok. Through her posts, Kelly found a community of followers and even managed to earn an income by sharing her reborn journey. “Looking back on it, I should’ve kept it to myself because I made a lot of people mad admitting it,” she shared, but she remains unapologetic for her decisions.

Kelly’s fascination with reborn dolls began when she stumbled across a video showcasing their lifelike appearance. She was captivated by how realistic they seemed, a quality that resonated with her. Soon after, she purchased her first reborn doll, Jennifer, for $300. This initial purchase opened the floodgates, and within months, her collection grew. She now owns seven dolls, each one playing a unique role in her carefully curated “family.”

Over time, Kelly expanded her collection with dolls purchased from various online stores. From $246 dolls bought on Temu to affordable finds on Amazon, Kelly carefully selected each reborn to fit her growing family. She even started receiving dolls as gifts from her followers, with one named Elizabeth arriving from her Amazon wishlist.

Beyond her connection with the dolls, Kelly has built an online presence through TikTok. Initially known for her cosplay videos, she transitioned to creating content focused on her reborn dolls. Much to her surprise, her reborn videos gained more traction than her cosplay ones. “Ever since I was little, I always dreamed of being famous for something,” Kelly admitted. Her reborn journey has allowed her to achieve that dream to some extent.

Despite the public backlash, Kelly continues to embrace her unique role as a reborn doll parent. She admits that the decision to breastfeed her dolls has drawn negativity, but she remains undeterred. “Breastfeeding is more about the physical closeness,” Kelly said, and for her, that closeness is something she cherishes deeply.

Now, as she strolls through parks or shops with her dolls, Kelly refuses to let the judgment of others get in the way of her happiness. Whether online or in public, she stands by her choices and continues to find joy in caring for her reborn family. Though her lifestyle might seem unusual to some, Kelly has found her calling in caring for these lifelike dolls. And in her eyes, that’s all that matters.
