How to Care for Your Reborn Baby Doll
Most Importantly, Your New Baby is No Longer a Play Doll
Most importantly, your new baby is no longer a play doll. She/he is now an heirloom quality collectible and needs to be handled very gently. Small children should not be permitted to play with her. A good rule of thumb for handling your new baby is that you should not handle her/him in any way you would not handle a real newborn baby.
He/She should be kept away from extreme heat and cold. Heat is more dangerous for her/him because his/her vinyl becomes very soft and pliable when heated and can become warped or even melt. She/he should never be left in a hot car or displayed near any type of heat source.
If baby's hair is hand rooted mohair. It has been coated with sealant on the inside of her/his head to help keep it from coming out. Should baby's hair become dusty, it can be gently brushed to remove the dust. Her/his hair can be gently brushed and combed and can be lightly moistened. Mohair has a tendency to bunch and mat so extreme gentleness should be used when combing out mats. Baby should be kept away from excessive moisture, which can cause damage to her/his cloth body.
Baby wears size preemie to 0-3 month real infant clothing. Her/his outfit can be removed for washing.
Face may be gently washed with soft damp cloth, but not scrubbed roughly.
Care should be taken when posing baby. Her/his arms and legs can be gently posed but should never be forced. Extreme pressure on the seams of her/his body can cause tearing. Baby's head can gently be turned from side to side, but again, it should not be forced. Baby's eyelashes, lips and nails are sealed in place for protection, but they should not be handled. The lashes can be pulled out and the nails can be chipped with force.
