DD has got an old doll of my sisters which she likes but she is an older little girl doll, we are expecting a little boy in July so would like to get her a baby boy doll - anyone have any recommendations - I am a bit stuck on if is best to get a small one or a more realistic sized one (some seem so large for a 2 year old to carry round), soft body or hard body etc. Would prefer one that is anatomically correct.
Baby Born. My DSD has one, hers is 7 years old and still going great. They are pretty dear but I think they are worth the money. I'm getting my DDs one each for christmas this year.
My son has a doll, I bought him from Kmart - his name is Billy and my DS goes through phases of playing with him (he's 5). I can't remember the brand but the cost of Billy's adoption was on about $20. He has a very cute face which could be either male or female and is a little smaller than a live baby which makes Billy easier for my DS to handle. Billy has a hard body, which is excellent because sometimes Billy like to swim or go in the bath. The plastic he is made from is the nice pliable stuff, not rock hard. He is not anatomically correct by that doesn't seem to bother DS at all - Billy doesn't have anything between his legs at all and is non-gender specific. Billy's wardrobe is quite extensive and mostly comes from Pumpkin Patch - a little expensive but they have a great range for boy dolls.
Billy came in a box and was wearing a blue nappy and I think he has a bottle somewhere, too. I think his cousin's are available at Target. My DD looks after Billy's sister, her name is Bella. There is a striking family resemblance but Bella has a different facial expression.
