JC Toys, La Newborn First Tear | Anatomically Correct Real Girl Baby Doll | 14" All-Vinyl | Includes Hospital Blanket, Bracelet and First Baby Bottle | Made in Spain | Designed by Berenguer | Ages 2+

My granddaughter has been sighing over "reborn" baby dolls but the price tags are hefty! I found this doll and the Asian girl doll (on this same page) and bought both. They are even more adorable than in the pictures!These dolls are anatomically correct (the male doll is uncircumcised) and have all of the folds and creases that you'd see on a real, newborn baby. The entire doll is made of vinyl - no cloth body - so it's a sturdy doll and can handle being "loved" by a young child. The vinyl is not soft and squishy, though. It's fairly hard but the shape is such that it's easy to cuddle.All of the hair and features are painted on. The arms and legs and head can be turned. The eyes do not open and close. They do not eat or pee. These are simple, beautifully made dolls that are meant to be cuddled, dressed and undressed, dragged everywhere, slept with and played with by girls and boys alike.The dolls come with a terry cloth diaper that has velcro tabs for closure, an umbilicus band, a hospital wrist band, and a birth certificate. Interestingly, the Asian girl doll also came with a baby bottle but the boy doll did not.Some super small, Preemie size clothing fit well on these dolls. I also found some outfit sets made specifically for these dolls on Ebay that included a romper, T-shirt, another diaper, a diaper cover, a hat and booties at a very reasonable price.These dolls are very realistic looking and I discovered that they are often used by artists that "reborn" them. Reborning is a technique where dolls are carefully painted to have the natural skin colors of a real baby. They often add hand rooted hair, too. There are special paints called Genesis paints that are heat set to be extremely durable. While these dolls do have painted features, they do not have painted nail beds or mottled skin tone or blushing in the creases as the "reborn" babies do so I bought some Genesis paints to paint the nails and the lips a little deeper color and add blushing to the knees and elbows and creases. I'm no artist so I did not attempt all over skin tone, but it came out very well. I watched many of the videos on YouTube that show you exactly how to do it.Understand that these dolls are perfectly adorable just the way they come. I only added more hand painted detail because my granddaughter is almost 7 and has been longing for a reborn doll so I decided to attempt to make the dolls more like the ones she has been wanting. Otherwise, buy this doll and maybe a pack of preemie diapers and a couple of outfits and a receiving blanket and your child will be absolutely thrilled!UPDATE: I gave these dolls to my granddaughter for her birthday and she takes them everywhere! Even at her birthday party, everyone wanted to hold them. They look so real and their backs are curved like a real newborn so they nestle perfectly into the curve of your arm. Real preemie diapers fit perfectly. My granddaughter has bathed these babies several times - an activity she gets a kick out of. I think these are the best dolls I have ever purchased.

She's small but cute, Hudson Baby preemie clothes are a little big but fit well enough, and she can take a pacifier with about half the nipple cut off. I wrapped scotch tape around the stem a few times to bulk it up so it would stay in her mouth. She also came with a little hospital print blanket and a bottle.

I do 'mild' reborning with La Newborn dolls so the sculpt is very important to me. This one is amazingly detailed and perfect! There is a bit of gloss on the mouth already, so all I'm going to need to do is add some gloss to the eyelid seams and it's done.Pros:-Fantastic detail in the face sculpt. Even has the little divets in the scalp that newborns have-Mouth takes a snipped/modded pacifier (just trim a wee bit of the bulb off)-Great for posing for props/fotos-Eyebrows are lightly done so not too fake-I paid 35 dollars, so a fantastic value imo. (wouldn't go above 40 personally as it didn't come with a full layette or clothing)Cons:-Size is a wee bit smaller than a preemie so you'll have a time finding off the peg baby clothes for it.-Detail is mostly in the face so don't expect tons of detail in the hands/feet at this pricepoint.-Curled up position, while accurate to a newborn scrunch, could be frustrating for younger doll enthusiasts while changing clothes/diapers.Overall-Fantastic for detail-lovers and reborners. Well worth the money and I'm very very happy with my purchase!

I love this little doll ! His expression is so adorable. He is very small and a child would not be able to get him dressed. I had a hard time with that. He wears 15 inch doll clothes which you can find on Temu for really cheap.He takes a real pacifier if you cut the end off. I’m very happy with my purchase

This is a nice quality, realistic boy doll that I bought for my 3 grandsons - ages 4, 6 & 8. I usually get them something new to play with when they visit, and when I came across him and he was so cute, I thought I’d give them something different besides dinosaurs and the usual fare and dolls are good for teaching empathy and encouraging caring for other babies. He is anatomically correct, and they laughed hysterically over that, they had so much fun for hours they bathed, powdered, diapered, dressed and swaddled, held and rocked him, gave him “magic bottles” (from Dollar General), burped him, pretended he was crying and comforted him. They had so much fun that they each wanted their own doll, so I ran out to buy 2 more similar dolls (my little guy cried because he didn't have his own baby to put in the bath!). I had purchased the doll with the intent to keep it at my house for when they visit, but I sent all of them home with them:). This is such a great toy for boys or girls, and would also be a great therapy doll for depression, anxiety, autism, elderly, Alzheimer’s, etc. Great for gifting or keeping!

I love it is is just detailed enough. It is not as big as a newborn but it is a doll for kids so in my opinion it does not need to be the same size. It is very detailed with wrinkles like a newborn. It is anatomically correct which means that it is not blank down there.She is so so cute too. I almost feel like I am holding a newborn when I hold her.It is great and looks just enough like a real baby to seriously freak some people out when you are in public holding your child's doll and someone thinks its real and you sort of put it down or in your other hand.Though every time I look at her if I am tired I yawn which is pretty funny.Update: the only downside really is that the vinyl is pretty stiff. She's never been my daughter's favorite toy which is disappointing for me.
