Reborn babies are not just dolls. They look and feel real down to the weight, creases, footprints, facial expressions, fine hair, wow!

Reborning is a way to capture the baby's innocence and immortalising it. First choose the baby from the catalogue of photos and purchase the materials for your craft work. Bake it in the oven. Yes, bake, for 10 minutes. Then assemble the baby.
Viola! I've never seen a doll that resembles so closely to a real baby.

They are very popular with the film industry, aged nursing homes, children without siblings, childless couples or someone who needs a companion. They don't cry, don't need night feeds, don'nt need to be changed, and don't grow.

The newborns are absolutely adorable. They don't come cheap though. Each costs between $400 to $600. However, they are not as costly as mannequin girlfriends that costs $10,000 for men with medical and social difficulties.
