Having a Baby

It is extremely important that you do not consider your reborn as toy; there are multiple reasons for this and first and foremost you should consider if you would treat an actual baby as one – of course you certainly would not and your reborn baby doll is no different.

It is also very important to not let children play with them either. They are not suitable as childrens toys due to the delicate parts that may come loose, and if they are curious as children often are then you might want to consider supervised care of it. More importantly, You should not let your reborn doll replace your children though, and this is a serious comment – some people take things too far.

The reborn should not be man handled with any exerted force – many of the bits the make up the beautiful baby are brittle while others are delicatly attached – they will not withstand force though and it will cause them to fall off. This will include the finger nails, hair, eyelashes and brows.

The temperature may cause damage to the reborn if you arent careful. If it gets too hot it will cause the doll vinyl to become soft and may damage the coloring or the paint. In extreme cases it may even melt of cause warping and flattening of its features. Dont leave a light near the doll as this can get it too hot. Likewise, cold will damage it it it gets too cold, it will crack the doll.

Dust is the destroyer of many collectible items, so you should dust your reborn doll from time to time. Dusting it gently will keep it in prime condition for many years although you should not use polish. Some people keep their reborns in a showcase which preserves them for much longer so if you wont be moving yours around too often this is a possibility for you.

This should all help you keeping your reborn dolls innocence and features as fresh as when you first got it.
