How to Get a Baby in Tomodachi Life

1. 1
   Choose the gender. You will be asked if you'd prefer it to be a boy or girl. You can either select Girl , Boy , or I don't mind which. . If you select Girl or Boy , you will always get the one you prefer. If you select I don't mind which. , there is an even chance of it being a boy or girl.

   • Consider the gender ratio of your island (which you can find out at your apartment's office), seeing as Tomodachi Life only has heterosexual relationships, an even 50/50 ratio means that each Mii could have a partner.
2. 2
   See how the baby looks. The baby is usually a hybrid between the two parents, meaning it will have physical traits of both parents. You will be asked if the baby looks the way you expected. If you want, you can change the baby's appearance. Change it to however you want!

   • If you edit the baby as it's born, its hair won't grow as the baby grows. If you leave it as it is, it will grow.
   • Once the Mii has grown up, you can change their appearance again.
3. 3
   Choose a name. You can say, "OK," to the name they suggest, ask for another name, or suggest one yourself. If you ask for another name, they will keep suggesting more, until you are happy with one. By suggesting a name yourself, you can try out a name for the baby.

   • When the baby grows up, this will be its nickname. It cannot be changed until then.
   • When suggesting a name yourself, be aware that it won't accept potentially sensitive language.
4. 4
   Decide on their traits. You can select, "Just like Dad" (in UK, "Just like daddy"), "Just like Mom" ("Just like mummy") "Hmm" ("Give a detailed explanation"), or, "Who knows!" ("Leave it to nature"). If you choose to make their personality "Just like Dad/Mom", it will mean their personality will be exactly like that parent. Giving a detailed explanation, means that you can choose exactly how you want their personality to be. Leaving it to nature, will create a random personality.

   • You can change their personality once the Mii has grown up.
   • Once this is over, you will go back outside, viewing your island.

Sometimes you will be called to babysit the baby. This will happen sometimes when you are viewing the town map. You may also voluntarily babysit the infant when viewing their house.

1. 1
   Rock the newborns as if you were a cradle. If you babysit yourself and you anger the baby, the parents will get upset. If they wanted your help and you can't make the baby happy, you can give up. You still receive a prize. If you win, you also get a prize. This will always be a gift, such as a mobile, travel ticket, or hair colour spray.
2. 2
   Play with a one to three day old Mii. Pat/tickle them on the head, face or body to make them sleep or happy. You can also select Peekaboo , in the top right-hand corner. Once again, giving up you will still get a prize; doing it wrong you won't, and cheering up the baby you get a prize.

   • Patting/tickling the baby when they are still startled from the peekaboo is a good way to cheer them up.
3. 3
   Offer to babysit the child in its toddler phase. When they're finally toddlers, you won't be called to babysit anymore, but you can still offer to babysit them. This time you must spin them around in the yard. If you spin them too fast, they will be dizzy and you won't get a prize.

   Wait for a phone call. The baby will eventually grow up to the point of where they can move out. You will get a phone call from one of parents at some point while viewing the island map. You can see how grown-up the baby is by viewing them in the house. The baby has three stars of growth before it's fully-grown.
2. 2
   You can have them become a traveler or stay on the island and get an apartment room. Travelers travel around other islands and camp there, sending feedback to their parents. If the Mii stays on the island, they will be treated like any other Mii, and can even have relationships and children of their own.

   • Once you've made your choice, there is no undoing it. So, be careful, and enjoy the child!
   • If the Mii lives on the island, it will say on their relationships page who their parents and siblings are.
   • A traveler can visit islands of any StreetPass encounters you have, who have Tomodachi Life.
   • You can have a maximum of 100 islanders living on your island, and a maximum of 50 explorers on your island.
