Addison loves babies but the clothes come off them straight away and they all end up looking the same so i definately wouldnt spend a lot of money, maybe just one that has a dummy (that can stay attached) cos i know addison loves the one she can put the dummy in the mouth but other than that they are all the same]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:14:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19195&PID=441810&title=baby-doll-for-toddler-when#441810 <![CDATA[baby doll for toddler - when? : It seems to take a little bit...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19195&PID=441589&title=baby-doll-for-toddler-when#441589 Author: busymum

It seems to take a little bit for them to get into dolls, from what I've seen - beyond the first couple of days. You could probably go either way but it probably wouldn't hurt to introduce it early to get her used to it? I'm sure she will pick it up when bubs is born as well. whichever you choose!!]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:36:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19195&PID=441589&title=baby-doll-for-toddler-when#441589 <![CDATA[baby doll for toddler - when? : DD has always had a doll or 4...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19195&PID=441455&title=baby-doll-for-toddler-when#441455 Author: Roksana

DD has always had a doll or 4 since she was tiny!! she was always rough with them and I use to say no baby youhave to be gentle...its only recently that she is gentle with them and puts them on the bed, tucks them in, puts them in stoller and goes for a walk etc. And generally at Day care they teach the same type of things! and when ever we have babies in the house (real ones) she is very gentle with them! Not sure if it is because of her having dolls or not!!??

We are giving Leah hers with the stroller from the baby at the hospital, so it can be a special present from the baby. She has a couple of other bubbas already and we want this one to be special and for a reason.

Ella has dolls at DC that they have been taught are "bubbas" and they have to treat them nicely etc...which means when there are little bubbas (from 5 weeks old) in the babies room with them she knows that is a "bubba" too and she has to be gentle.

Ella loves her little stroller and bubba dolls. Altho most of them end up unclothed at home and at DC! The ones at DC are anatomically correct too...

She has been taught to cuddle them and now feeds them and tucks them in etc too....and most importantly she has been taught by us and DC to "pat pat" bubbas...gently pat them no hitting, no harsh movements etc...she now always "pats" any bubbas - real or plastic]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:57:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19195&PID=441309&title=baby-doll-for-toddler-when#441309 <![CDATA[baby doll for toddler - when? : No experience of my own, but have...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19195&PID=441287&title=baby-doll-for-toddler-when#441287 Author: monster

No experience of my own, but have seen what my cousin did (her DD was 22 months when DD2 was born). She had access to baby dolls (a couple of different ones) quite a few months before - xmas gifts - and was well into how to treat the baby. When her sis was born she would always bring helpful things for the bubba (blanket etc) based on what she'd learned through play. In fact she still offers any baby a blanket

I've got Ella a baby doll (Baby Alive, but not one of the ones that poops, eats or whinges... really don't need another in the house just yet!) to give her for when this baby arrives. I'm getting her a wee stroller for it too, because she loves those toy strollers so much. I'm wondering, is it best to give her the doll when baby arrives, or beforehand, to kinda prepare her for baby? I know lots of other people have given their kids dolls around this time, so what worked for you and what didn't? Not a big deal, I know, but I don't want to 'waste' the cool new toy on her earlier if she's going to lose interest in it once baby is here. ]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:34:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19195&PID=441272&title=baby-doll-for-toddler-when#441272
