Do you love babies but are you either too young, not ready, or not able to have children of your own? Do you want a "parenting simulation" that feels real and is also fun? If this applies to you, then you should consider a reborn doll or reborn toddler. Reborn dolls are dolls that are made professionally to look like real babies or toddlers. They can be expensive to buy and care for, but it is all worth it in the end.

You should do this when you are comfortable doing so. You might also be able to join communities or meet new friends with your new reborn baby or toddler.

Create a schedule. If you want to take care of your baby or toddler seriously, set up a schedule for your reborn baby or toddler. Your schedule should include feeding times, diaper changing times, nap times and play times. or tummy times. Sometimes if you are busy then have a friend or boyfriend to help you look after or take care of your toddler

Make sure you remember to change the baby, to make sure they are clean after their long trip. Perhaps you should prepare a warm bottle of milk for them, or cover them up in a warm blanket to take a nice long nap. Whatever you choose, be prepared to repeat it every day to create your daily routine.

When the doll arrives, pick out a name and fill out the birth certificate. If the box does not contain a birth certificate, you can print one off of the Internet.

Make sure you have everything set up just like you would if you were preparing to bring home a newborn. Make sure you have researched what supplies you might need, before bribing home your reborn doll.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

If you have a pet and you leave the house make sure your baby is in a room without any pets. They could chew on them and tear them apart. If you keep the door closed, that helps a lot and keeps your pets from chewing them up.

When you change a diaper, before you take the soiled diaper away, put the clean one underneath, then when you gently pull the diaper away, you will have a clean one to keep the baby or Toddler's bottom off of the table.

Some babies have loose necks like real babies, so ensure you support the neck. Be aware of this before you buy them, so you make sure to be careful.
