  Why would anyone purchase a silicone baby?  Why would anyone buy a silicone baby?  My 10 year old daughter wants you.  If they were not so expensive, I'd get her one.  It's the baby doll because it resembles a baby!  Ok, it's a little creepy since it falls into what is called the"uncanny valley" which means it is just life-like enough to disturb us.  When my grandmother was deep into dementia towards the end of her life, she adored baby dolls, and might attempt to bottle feed them.  We would have gotten her one, if those sort of dolls were available back then.  Anything for peace of mind and happiness, even slightly creepy dolls.Loneliness, need to care for a human creature.  To have a friend, something to speak to who doesn't talk back.  It's a proven treatment for people with dementia that giving them a doll babycalms them and stops them self-harming.  There is no harm and a great deal of great therapeutic potential in these creatures.  Exactly Real Dolls are comfort and love to some people.  Can work through their grief with one of these babies.  These are my ideas, although I haven't met anybody who has one. your love here

  This is a rather subjective question.  Everybody will have a different opinion on which doll is your best first doll.If you're buying for a younger kid (like 3--6 years old) I would opt for a bitty baby doll.  Most little kids do not do well with the 18?American Girl dolls because they want to attract their doll everywhere and aren't as gentle as older children.  If your 4-year-old drags bitty baby into the sandbox and accidentally colors it with crayon, it's easier to wash than the 18?dolls with a full head of hair.If you're looking for an older child or adult collector, based on the list you created, I'd recommend Tenney Grant because she is only available for a limited time.
  If you're looking for a first doll, I would not reccommend Tenney or Rebecca, just because both of them have curly hair and that can be a hassle to look after.  Pretty curly hair can quickly become very ugly if not properly cared for.  Samantha and Felicity both have great stories and are great first dolls, make-wise (Samantha was my first doll).What really got me hooked was the books, but I was a nerdy 6 year old.  If whoever you're buying this for is not a reader (remember that the books are written with little children in mind and can be tough to get through on a purely"this is too cheesy" note if you didn't grow up with them) then pick the doll that's the most aesthetically pleasing for them, ask them what they believe before gifting!  I have 30 dolls to my name and I'm buying two (Tenney and Logan) this Saturday for my birthday... Just to warn you in case you're a parent or grandparent or so on.  The addiction may fade in later years but it does not ever go away!  If you get the kid really hooked, it becomes a drug, honestly.  I've been in it for ten years and there are no signs of quitting.
  Some professionals believe holding and cuddling reborn dolls -- or some other doll which has a sense -- might be healing to the body and/or thoughts.  As a newborn baby photographer, I have a couple of baby dolls, including a silicone one, which I use for practicing wrapping techniques that I use when posing and wrapping babies in the studio.You can see some samples of the types of wraps and graphics that I mean on my website from the photos here: bulge and newborn.  I also use the baby dolls in the studio when I am showing parents how I would like them to maintain their baby.  I could do this with their true baby, but I find that when I could do it with a doll, it means I'm handling and touching their baby and so their baby is not as disturbed.If you're a newborn photographer searching for a similar doll then some choices are the SIB (stand in baby) - this is quite expensive but made for this purpose.  There's also the cotton and then there are also reborn dolls.
  Instead, MaryEllen is also a wonderful doll.  She is unique in that her doll reflects a lot of her story as she comes, without purchasing all of her accessories and clothes.Ellie's bangs look wonky and jagged once you look at her -- that's because she cut them herself in the story.  What you are seeing is the result of Ellie attempting to make herself seem special and unique.  --And her legs are two unique molds, one's knee cap is greater than the other as a result of Ellie with a leg from a bout of Polio she suffered at seven years old.  
 Her hair was restrained and easy to care for, but maybe not much of a pain in the derriere to fix if the ribbons came off as Kirsten's could be.  Her eyes were a shade of grey and her outfits were all absolutely adorable.  I also loved her story, about living during the war times and getting to know a new friend.  It was a story of learning to live with change and make do with what you had and a story of acceptance despite the differences the women had.  Molly was a realistic character for a nine to eleven year old girl to read about - a little girl whose brothers drove her batty on a daily basis, getting used to a stranger living in her house and having to consume foods she did not enjoy so much.But as a current collector, the choice for me is much tougher.   She has the ever-adorable Josefina mould face, her hair is short and straight (very easy for a first time doll owner to care for compared to Becca's curls or Tenney's hair), and she is wanting to be an astronaut, so she's the galaxy/outer space theme going on, which makes it very enjoyable to make accessories and clothes for her.  My Luciana is wearing a galaxy that is beautiful gown and jewelry.  She's beautiful and her story is sweet of learning to be a team player at space camp a story is not as deep and serious as living in war times, but it's easy for plenty of children to relate to.
 I believe a'reborn' made vinyl or silicone ring is one that is re-painted (with special paints and techniques) to appear more lifelike, and often the person who repaints the doll will also give it'rooted' hair (real or mohair).  Most often, it's baby dolls which are reborn, and are made to look like actual babies, with veining of their skin, pinking of the knees, knuckles, heels, etc., and even'drool' moistened lips.

  If you are trying to get one for about 9+ year olds, I would recommend either a Lea, Blaire, Rebecca, or a Luciana, mainly because of the very great stories, and how pretty they are.  But the hair may kinda tangle if your kid wants to take it for a 3 I urge baby, since it is mostly made of vinyl, and can get cleaned quickly.  For 6--9 yr olds, I really recommend welliwishers, or dolls with hair that is straight, and it will not frustrate your child .  The welliwishers have hair that is manegable, and their body is made of vinyl.  Haired dolls are extremely easy to brush, and are as amazing as those with curls.

  Can it be good for young children to own a reborn doll?  Reborn dolls can be a family member in most cases.  They help with their cognitive ability and will be the best companions for your children.  Now there are lots of reborn doll brands, make certain to pick the best one, if you don't understand how to choose, here are a few examples: Paradise Gallery, Reborns, Kiss Reborn, dollssoreal.I personally find them kind of creepy.  However, I don't suppose there's any real harm in them.  You may need to have discussions with your child if they're anatomically correct.  And they are lifelike enough you may get anxious reactions from people in public places.It is good.  It just like any other toy.  Personally, I prefer rebornbuy  dolls.  Shop Now
  What does it feel like to have a reborn baby doll?Thanks for your query.  As a reborn artist, I can answer this question.  A reborn baby dolls is a doll that been created by an artist to look and feel as lifelike as possible.  We start with a play doll or a vinyl kit, and paint it, weight it, root hair and assemble it so it will look as a baby as possible.  In the beginning, in the early 90's and late 80's reborns started by means of Berenguer type mass play dolls, which stripped of the paint were taken apart and reborned.  Kits were one of a kind kits, made by artists using clay and became part of the market place.  Now, artists can use these life like kits instead of play dolls, although play dolls can still be used.  They simply won't look as realistic as if you used a kit.  Kits can vary anywhere from a mere 7to a gorgeous 30".   If it is air 13, the paint is made to dry between layers or it's heated using an oven or heat gun if painted with heat set paints.  Babies can be painted in the various spectrum of flesh colours, and also painted in fantasy colours.  The head is then given eyes if it is an eyed baby using poly-crylic acrylic, or eyes.
  The doll is then weighed on a scale and the date, time, weight, and length is recorded on a birth certificate.  The dolls are then packed with toys, clothes, bottles, pacifiers, blankets, diapers, and a number of goodies depending on what the artist and client agreed the infant would be sent home with.  I always send mine home with care sheet, diaper, birth certificate, and a sleeper.  Some have a whole lot more.  They must be packed be fully insured, and also the buyer notified of the ship date.  Some artists ship within their country, other ship world wide.  I ship world wide, but to date I've only had the privilege to boat in the US.Some dolls are custom made meaning that the purchaser chooses all or most everything they need from the kit, to the skin tone, to the gender, and eye and hair colour.  Some dolls are ready for adoption, meaning that the artist has set up it on the market available and has created a baby with no buyer in mind already.  A sale is known as an adoption in this hobby industry.  The dolls are sold through craft pages, websites, reborn selling websites, blogs like Etsy and through auction sites like E-bay, and through media pages like Facebook, and Instagram.  I sell my babies through my webpage, Facebook, and on rebornbuy.


  Would getting a realistic baby doll for relaxation ultimately help or worsen the pain after years of infertility and miscarriages?  To some people your question may sound a little odd, but I do understand a childless woman that has a baby doll that she treats like a child.The lady, who's about 70 or 75, wheels around a baby carriage where there's a (not particularly realistic) baby doll.  She frequently picks up the doll, crooning to it and rocking it.   Since she was focused on her baby, this woman is an acquaintance who I see infrequently and I have not had a conversation with her -- every time I have tried, there was result.  Unsurprisingly, I think she has a psychological illness.A baby doll, no matter how realistic, would not have helped me cope with the pain of miscarriage.  There would be a few activities which may have mimicked being a parent, such as changing its clothes and cuddling it or putting it down to sleep, but I wanted a living breathing human with whom I might have a relationship.  A bit of plastic and cloth, no matter how cleverly crafted, could never be a substitute for the child that I wanted.  Even a baby has a character, and a doll does not.  Most adults know where fact ends and fantasy begins, therefore I do not think it would be helpful for most people.If I knew somebody who had been having problems with infertility and purchased a baby doll for relaxation, I'd be concerned.  To me it would indicate mental instability or melancholy.  Infertility and miscarriage are extremely tricky to come to terms with, but there are other ways to deal with it.I spent 7 1 two years trying to become pregnant, with medical intervention, and never did get pregnant.  It had been difficult -- and understanding women were aborting healthy fetus's babies was just like a knife in the gut.   That would have made things worse.  You don't want something'feign' -- you want the true thing.We adopted, finally, and it has been an unbelievable journey.But, in the meantime, my husband and I had about a decade of FUN.   Having a fake baby just like you're going to replace the baby you wish you had and acting like it is not a doll sounds like a breeding ground for psychosis.There is quite a movement of women, at least in the UK that have these dolls.The only way to know if this would be of comfort to you would be to try.Your other choice is therapy.
  They're also given hair, if it's not left bald by using paints, and or mohair or human hair or synthetic hair.  Artificial and human are best utilized for the older dolls which are intended to look like toddlers.  They're rooted allowing at a time with a micro-rooted doll that takes days to reach the final result.  You need to root directionally with a lengthy needle and strands of hair.The babies also get magnets glued inside for pacifiers and or hair bows, unless otherwise stated.  The kits are then put together using non or jointed cloth bodies and or vinyl torsos, which can be correct.  The dolls' limbs, body, and head are weighted with several materials.  Usually it is steel shot, poly or glass pellets or beads, or a mixture of Polyfil.  The poly pellets or glass beads are poured into every limb stuffed the remaining space with Polyfil.  The belly will contain components of comprised weighting material and then polyfil around that.  The mind will be filled with a pouch which allows for the head like a toddler head would flop to flop like the stomach.  Each part is put on the body.  Some babies can be further customized for picture taking, or perhaps shout boxes with heart beat boxes, breathing machines, belly or butt plates.
Should teens in schools be required to take care of fake realistic babies?  I believe so.  My daughter brought one of those home.  It was realistic indeed.  For any reason it began to cry and wouldn't stop.   It stopped.  It was set to be fed,changed, bathed and then just to cry.   I got up to find a drink and my daughter was on the couch with the baby in the store in a position that was certain.  The baby would cry, if the position was compromised.  I offered to let my daughter sleep a bit but she was diligent.   When she came out of her room I began to giggle.  Her eyes had bags beneath them,her hair had thrown into a ponytail bothering to brush it she looked haggard.  She did not care although I told her I'd watch the baby so she could get ready.  That out the door went my daughter and night at church that the baby began to cry.  Because the baby was so loud, she had to go way down the hall.  The baby was so real because I wouldn't let my daughter sit with me since she had a baby we had a visitor go to the pastor after church and berate me.  Pastor explained the baby was wasn't real and a homework assignment and laughed.  The baby was turned in on Monday and my daughter almost ran to the desk to return it.Many high school students are stressed out and working really hard as it is.  Making an extra required class such as parenting, takes away time from other classes which are more relevant to the student.Relatively few students are teen parents.  So it would make sense to need teen parents to take the class (but not carry home a baby, they have to focus attention on the one that is real) or give students the option of taking a parenting class.But making each pupil in the college take home a baby causes unnecessary strain for little enough gain.  Most of the kids wouldn't have gotten pregnant.  Kids don't want to have children.  The ones who are spontaneous enough to do it by accident will probably not remember the toy baby in that moment of impulsiveness.For the teens that are seriously considering having kids?  Then they're going to take the voluntary class.My 13 yr old has one of these"real live babydolls for the weekend.  He did.  He was able to still do some of the things he likes to do, largely because the baby slept most of the day.  He tells me I got this.  No problem! "Skip to this morning when I wake up and come down stairs.  He tells me it didn't sleep all night!  I could not put it down is almost in tears. . .lol. I tell him while he eats something, that I will take care of it.  He wandered around the kitchen in a daze for 10 mins while I'm"burpingthe baby.  It makes the baby noise and falls asleep.  He comes running into the room, heard it from the kitchen and says screw food!    It's a fantastic lesson about being ready and prepared for one of the biggest responsibilities we can have.It shouldn't be required, but it should be very recommended.   Teenagers however may want to become a dad or mom, and should take home a fake realistic baby to simulate this experience.  Fortunately, my health class permits you to write a five to six page essay about parenting instead of taking a baby home.I do not think so.  In case you have five tests over the next week and will need to be at your best, taking care of a fake baby that wakes you up at night or during naps can interrupt your schedule.  I think it's easier to dissuade teens from sexual pregnancy is to talk about STD's and give out condoms.  Safe sex is better than unprotected sex.I do not think that will help me'prevent' pregnancy if it is required.  It would show me that babies are more annoying than anything and I would hightail myself into a hospital for an abortion or an adoption agency.Although I would love the OPTION of this, as we do not do this in my own school.  Always wondered what it would be like to be a mommy in the future, which could possibly help if I want to be one prepare me.

 Since I plan on not having kids is it weird for me to get one?  The objective of a reborn doll varies from consumer but their purpose is to replace.  Reborns are collected by many as some collect regular dolls and others use them to practice to a real baby in preparation.  Some have said that an adoption process is simulated by a can and that is why some dolls have a fake birth or adoption certificate.  Don't feel like you're alone when it comes to reborn dolls since there are groups and communities filled with like-minded people which you can combine and interact with.  Reborn dolls can be quite expensive but if you are looking for a inexpensive doll that still looks good and realistic, I would advise taking a look at the below article that has a list of good reborn dolls for under $50. I suppose that depends upon why you're getting the doll.  That is not weird at all if you want to have one.  People collect all kinds of things that are random.  If you're planning to pretend it is your child because you don't believe you ought to be a parent to a living child; that's a little different, but I don't think it's weird.  I respect your choice to not have a child.    My advice is don't have baby showers, birthdays, or attempt to register your reborn doll in daycare when you plan to maintain your life later.  Go ahead, build your castle.  Don't move have the exact same question with you.  Personally, I think that it's not wired.  But you still like to become a parent, if you are not planning to have a kid.  To purchase a reborn doll to accompany you or your family.  Rebornbuyis a good online store to get reborns under $100 USD.  Do not care about others.  Just do what you would like to do.  Be.  Hope you live.
