Reborn Baby Doll

A Reborn Baby Doll is a highly realistic and lifelike collectible doll, crafted to resemble a newborn baby as closely as possible. These dolls are created using a detailed and artistic process called "reborning," which involves transforming a manufactured vinyl or silicone doll kit into a unique, hyper-realistic doll.

Here are some key features of a Reborn Baby Doll:

1. Materials

• Made of vinyl or silicone, or a combination of both. Silicone models tend to feel softer and more lifelike.
• Weighted bodies to mimic the feel of a real baby when held.

2. Realistic Details

• Hand-painted skin tones with layers of translucent paint to create depth and natural appearance.
• Subtle details like veins, capillaries, mottling, and birthmarks.
• Hand-rooted hair (usually mohair or synthetic fibers) or finely painted hair for a realistic look.
• Hand-painted eyelashes, brows, and nails.

3. Custom Features

• Options for open or closed eyes.
• Magnetic pacifiers or bows that attach to the doll.
• Some include mechanisms for simulated breathing, heartbeats, or sounds.

4. Size and Weight

• Typically sized to match the proportions of a real baby (e.g., preemie, newborn, or up to toddler size).
• Weighted to feel authentic when cuddled.

5. Clothing and Accessories

• Often dressed in baby clothes similar to what a real infant would wear.
• Many come with accessories like diapers, bottles, and blankets for added realism.

6. Purpose

• Collectibles: Valued by collectors for their craftsmanship and realism.
• Therapeutic Use: Often used in therapy for grief, anxiety, dementia, or trauma.
• Role Play: Some owners use them for role-playing scenarios or as a creative hobby.
