I also think it's incredible for our children to be able to have a doll that vaginally births her babies (umbilical cord, placenta and all!) -- we are homebirthers, and our older children were both present for their little sister's birth, and loved it!
And of course, breastfeeding. <3 I *love* that MamAmor dolls not only nurse their newborns/infants, but their toddlers as well. Absolutely fantastic!
As a natural birthing, breastfeeding, babywearing, mother and birthworker, I love that she gives birth and breastfeeds.
I love that these aren't your average dolls. They all have such wonderful funky style and are so indicative of women- all different, all gorgeous!
Also, as a curvy Black woman, I LOVE those beautiful hips!!
I'm also a midwife and would love to incorporate the doll in my breastfeeding discussion!
I love MamAmor dolls because they are warm friendly looking toys. That teach our childern about bonding,birthing & feeding. They also have great hair & clothes.
If I win I will be using the doll in my Bradley Childbirth education classes!

Also, the hair! Love it!
My favourite mommy aspect of the MamAmor dolls is that they're hand made. It may seem like an odd thing to say but in our house "making" is something that mom does. My 4 year old is convinced I can make just about anything with yarn and a crochet hook "mommy can you shay [crochet] me a baby mouse/hat/socks/dolly?" or "mommy I'm gunna shay you a pretty dolly". Hand made = most love in my house hold. So it might not make a lot of sense to some people but that's what I think makes them the most "motherly" is that they're %100 hand made, start to finish with love.
The fact that they give birth, bf, baby-wear and just look so happy is icing on the cake. Anything that normalizes the different aspects of motherhood that western society frowns upon (like breast feeding, baby wearing, actually educating young children about where babies come from.. I could go on but I won't) is just fantastic. Thanks for the chance to win
I love that their is an umbilical cord and placenta.
I also love the fact it can help normalize birth and breastfeeding for kids who play with them, or as teaching tools to young kids.
Thanks for the chance and Happy Mothers Day to you too!!
When I saw your beautiful dolls first, it crossed my mind - probably a snap was designed after the niple and the baby mouth and this idea made me smile!
I've got a boy almost two years aga and enjoy being a mother SO much! I thought, I'd buy MamAmore when I get a baby girl, but to be honest, I always wanted it for myself!

I love that these dolls are handmade and made of materials I would be happy to let my children play with. They are beautifully and lovingly made. I enjoy that they can be used to demonstrate vaginal birth, breastfeeding and in some dolls C-sections.

While I was pregnant last year, the one thing children kept asking me was, "how does the baby come out?" They understood that the baby was in my belly and growing. They knew that when the baby was big enough and strong enough it would come out, but how? I wish I would have had this doll a year ago. It would have helped me explain the natural workings. This is a fantastic doll. Birthing and feeding naturally is the two most important things to teach children about babies.
P.S. this is the first Mother's Day I will be a Mommy

I love that she is a tool that helps moms to mother, by being able to have a model that reflects their experiences (including birth & breastfeeding). Also, I love that each one is unique, which also is a great things to model for kids. :-D
If I don't win this drawing I hope one day to own a mamamor doll to educate my children about birth.
Thank you for making such beautiful, high quality dolls!

I love that MamAmor dolls are mothers. They breastfeed, babywear, give birth and snuggle their precious little ones. A lot of MamAmor dolls wear a nursing necklace like I do! I love that MamAmor dolls mirror the way I parent. They are so beautiful in so many ways!
A difficult journey but a beautiful doll to help replay the story for as long as need be

I love the breastfeeding aspect of it also. I love that you are giving people an option to purchase these lovely handcrafted dolls. I absolutely adore the fact every doll has a name and a different way of birthing. Every doll seems to have its own life story and personality.

ODDLY ENOUGH I LOVE THE FACT THAT IT INCLUDES A PLACENTA! I REMEMBER AS A LITTLE GIRL KNOWING THERE WAS AN UMBILICAL CORD, AND KNOWING THEY CUT IT, BUT NOt KNOWING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE REST OF THE CORD??WOULD IT JUST HANG OUT OF ME??! HAHA! I THINK THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND WITH BOTH MY HOMEBIRTHs I KEPT THEM, MY SONS I PLANTED AND MY DAUGHTERS I ENCAPSULATED :)
