Question

What if I feed water to the baby?

Community Answer

You're not actually feeding the baby; you're feeding mold. If your doll has a hole in its mouth, liquid can grow inside the baby.

Question

How do I travel with a reborn?

Community Answer

Simply pack a small bag with some of the clothes the reborn generally wears (the amount will depend on your trip length), some diapers, faux formula, and other little things you use at home, along with a blanket and sleeper. Use caution when you are traveling with your reborn, it's best to put them in their original packaging so they don't get damaged. When you arrive at your destination, set up a little sleeping area with the blanket and sleeper and bag full of your reborn's items.

Question

Is it enjoyable to care for a reborn as a real baby or is it hard work?

Community Answer

It is enjoyable to care for the reborn as a real baby but it also is hard work. It is enjoyable because you can create memories together and practice to be a real mother or father but it is hard work because you need to care for it every day. If you don't want it, donate it!

Question

What is the age range for people having a reborn?

Community Answer

You can never be too old -- but you might be too young. Reborns are pretty fragile compared to other toys, so the minimum age would be around 8.

Question

Can the doll go out in the cold?

Community Answer

Yes, it can. Perhaps wrap it up as you would a real baby if you're caring for it as a baby. If transporting it, just place in its box, basket or other carrying item to protect it, and take with you.

Do reborns have to be changed like a real baby?

Many don't, but if you buy a reborn that has a tube in its stomach, then yes. You can also pretend to attend to a baby doll in this manner if you like.

What kind of baby formula do open mouthed Reborn babies drink?

Pretend formula from a sealed bottle. Don't put anything inside a Reborn baby doll. Anything moist and nutritious will feed mold, not the doll.

Question

Can you feed the silicone baby real baby formula?

Community Answer

No. Even if it has a feeding hole, you don't want that collecting inside and getting moldy. You can make convincing fake milk by mixing water and glue, but there's no need to pour it into the doll.
