How to Care for a Reborn Doll

Owning a doll will give you a sense of responsibility. And that’s also why people are willing to know whether they can feed them just as a real baby. However, we all know that the process of creating a reborn doll is not very easy. Reborn artists spent their time and energy to reborn a doll. They added layers of paint, rooted hair for the doll and finally painted them well. It is a form of artistry. Thus caring for a reborn doll is so different. If you treat your reborns roughly, you will heart their precious skin or other parts. The below we have listed some tips on how to care for reborn dolls for you.

• You need to treat you reborn baby as if it was a real-life baby, catering to their every need, being delicate, and extra careful about everything related to them.
• Keep them away from direct sunlight and excessively warm areas as it can harm their complexion and is not good for them overall. This heat can potentially harm the finish on the doll’s skin.
• You do not need an object that can put a temporary or a permanent mark on your reborn baby doll near it. It may damage the reborn baby’s outer layer permanently. 
• Children and pets can seriously harm your reborn baby doll. You need to be extra wary of the fact that you keep the doll away from them to avoid serious damage.
• If you have people in your surroundings who require hearing aids, heart pacemakers, or any other type of metal implants, the magnetic parts of the reborn baby doll should be kept away from them and they should be advised to avoid the doll. 

The purpose of a reborn baby doll is only to provide a feeling similar to that of a real baby in the sense of sight and feel. They do not have special functions that they can perform, such as eating, drinking, pooping. They are just here to provide the closest experience of a baby in form of a doll. Silicone babies, however, can drink and pee if you want to take the experience up a notch.
