I recently found an older reborn doll that my mom had in attic and I wanted to make glow like the new ones. Painting the face, finger nails, toenails. She is bald. I want to make her nice for the foster children that live w/ Mom. Can you help me. Please, I need advice.

I’m not a reborn artist sorry just a collector so I have no idea how to go about fixing one

I love your babies. They're beautiful (and handsome!!) I have depression and anxiety as well. I stopped taking my meds (I didn't want them anymore) and I found Reborns and they help me so much. I'm selling my two that I've lost my bond with. (Cont)

I'm not a reborn artist so I wouldn't really be able to help I'm sorry

Managed to get all the babies dressed today and fit them all into one picture 😊

Hi. I want to buy a reborn doll but I'm not really sure. I've loved dolls for all my life, and almost bought every type of them. But the problem is, when I buy them and more than 2 weeks passes, I feel that my excitement slowly disappeares because the dolls doesn't feel real. I know that they are not real but I want them to be relaxing and soft (I suffer from anxiety too) so I can cuddle them and feel safe. So would you recommend reborns for me?

Yes I really would! They have a much more lifelike feel than most other dolls I've experienced! Many people often find the sleeping ones are really good for calming with anxiety but I feel both my awake and sleeping ones help :)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted to this blog. It’s 12.53 am and I can’t sleep. My anxiety lately has been pretty bad.

I decided to buy another reborn- a boy so Declan can have a brother, I’ve wanted this for a long time. BUT guilt because my mum and boyfriend both told me not to get more made me decide if I did that I had to sell Ella. While my bond with her is not as 100% strong as my other babies I still love her a lot and I pushed myself to not think about it and only think about her flaws so I could part with her. But it’s not working. I love ella so so much. Even with her flaws and I wish I didn’t have to see her go. I wish I didn’t have to feel guilty. Money is also an issue right now and I shouldn’t be buying things I don’t 100% need.

Basically I’m really confused and don’t know what to do now.

In the past few months I’ve parted with Aria- who my bond had disappeared completely with & I’ve parted with Sophie who I loved still but felt I didn’t pay her enough attention as my other sleeping girls.

I don’t regret selling them, but I feel I would regret selling Ella.

My current collection: Ella, Rosie, Declan, Evie & Zara. I would say my collection is complete.. If only I didn't want a brother for Declan!

I just hsve to say I really don't understand this. Firstly how can you have a "bond" with a doll? If you love babies so much why don't you actually have one?? And if you have a boyfriend how does it not freak him out. I'm a parent and I find it strange

Hi. Thank you for your question.Firstly the bond we say we have is much different than a bond you would have with a real child or person. They're a work of art that we really appreciate. For those of us that role play we are expressing our creative side, not much different from writing a story. Actually yes I have a boyfriend, he loves me and accepts them- they are just a hobby. I do want a real baby, BUT I'm smart enough to know that just because you want something doesn't mean you should get it straight away. I want to save money & be married before I have children. Also reborns help many people who suffer from depression, anxiety, any mental illness or even get over the grief of losing a child. Simply holding the reborn can make people feel more calm or more positive & role playing can help take their minds of whatever they are worried about.I hope this answers some of your questions, I understand it's hard to understand but please don't judge people with this hobby as they aren't hurting any one else and at the end of the day if it makes someone happy that's what matters.

MY REBORN COLLECTION! Ella- Kimber by Donna RuBert Declan- Holly by Donna RuBert Zara- Freya by Tina Kewy Evie- Lovelyn by Ping Lau Rosie- Rowan by Jessica Schenk

And then there's Ella! Ella was the second baby I ever brought.. She was quite cheap and I learnt you get what you pay for! I bonded with her easily and loved her but unfortunately her hair was falling out and he paint wasn't sealed properly.. So I contacted a local artist and had her completely repainted and she got new hair too. This completely changed out bond, when she came back to me I felt like she was a different baby and it took some adjusting! Now we have a pretty good bond, her hair is amazing and I have heaps of fun making it look pretty! I have considered selling Ella because our bond may not be as strong as it is with my other babies, but I do believe it's growing and I do love her so for now I think she will remain in my collection.

Up next is baby Zara Zara wasn't really a planned baby, I think I was actually looking on eBay for a friend when I came across Zara and fell in love. I loved Zara's kit and I also loved how she was painted. I ended up buying her pretty quickly which of course I got in trouble from my boyfriend about lol :p When Zara arrived home she was much smaller than I imagined, while she is I think 19-20 inches long she is a very small baby well long and lanky I guess is how you would describe it! I was worried I would struggle to bond with her because she was small and I knew I bonded with bigger babies easier. But it wasn't a problem because I fell in love with her straight away! Her kit (Freya by Tina Kewy) is just amazing! Zara is amazing for cuddles and I just so life like.

My bond with Evie did not come easily. Evie is my first and only full body vinyl reborn.. For me this took some adjusting to get used to the difference between s cuddly cloth body reborn and the vinyl. I also had the problem that when I got her she really looked like a boy to me. I considered selling her but eventually our bond became to strengthen and now it just keeps getting stronger. Her painting is just beautiful and I adore her kit :) she really is a sweet heart and I'm enjoying being able to put her in some different outfits that I can't put the cloth babies in

[sweetlittlebabyxo]

Next my bond with Rosie.. She's my newest baby so I feel our relationship is still forming however so far it's going great! Rosie is my little princess, she's a girly girl but also loves getting up to mischief! So far I've really enjoyed being able to dress her cute outfits and also being able to buy her shoes to match! Rosie was my second custom made baby, and also made by the same artist as Declan (dreamloverebornnursery)

[sweetlittlebabyxo]

I'm going to do a series of posts talking about my bond with each of my babies. Firstly is Declan, he is my only boy and that's something that makes him very special to me! Also the fact that he was my first custom made baby & I became great friends with his artist. Declan to me really has an adorable cuddly personality, he is my little guy who loves snuggles and he never fails to make me smile. I adore his kit, and well I adore every thing about him.. My bond has always been very strong with him!

Why I'm re-homing Sophie

If you follow my Instagram account you may know by now that I am selling Sophie. So far my journey collecting Reborns has been great, I've learnt a lot about the hobby and have met some wonderful people. I now have 6 Reborns, I know this is a lot less than some people but I feel it's too many for me. While I could easily choose my "main" Reborns and put the others away on a shelf I just don't see the point in that. I chose to downsize so I could develop better bonds with my current babies and focus more on us as a little family, being able to film more videos and involve all the babies instead of feeling I've left one out. The reason I chose to re-home Sophie was not because I didn't have a bond with her. I love Sophie a lot but I found having two sleeping babies is enough for me, I'm very fond of Zara and don't see myself ever selling her, as for Evie my bond grows with her everyday and because she has a full body and therefor is different to any of my other babies I wasn't going to sell her. So that left Sophie, and while I love Sophie because she's big and cuddly she was never my favourite kit or painting wise.. Not to say there is anything wrong with her it's just my personal opinions of what I like. So that's why I chose to sell her. I think many people have different sorts of bonds with each of their babies, or they have one baby that helps them feel calm or at ease. Sophie was my snuggle baby but Declan and Rosie both also fill that role.
