DD has taken an interest in baby dolls all the sudden so I'm thinking about getting her one for Christmas. I looked at the store and was surprised that there's an entire aisle of baby dolls and their accessories.
If you have an infant or young toddler, do they have a favorite doll? What type is it?
(I have no idea if there's a brand that's common for smaller children, but figured it was worth checking.)
Thanks!
Re: Your DD's favorite baby doll?
Her current favorites:
It's not as expensive at Target. It makes cute noises when you push the arm over to it's mouth. And best of all it's machine washable.
this It has a light baby powder smell but it's not enough to be bothersome.
And for some strange reason: this ours needs some clothes! She carries it around all the time naked. It's hard plastic so she gets banged with it and it makes her mad yet it's still a favorite. (we haven't used it in the bath yet)
Raegan has a lot of dolls.
Her favorite is one of mine from when I was little. But she has a couple of these small circo ones from Target. She has one in her crib, in the car, playroom and in the diaper bag since they are only $3. https://www.target.com/Circo-Mini-Baby-Doll-8/dp/B00298VOWO/ref=br_1_2?ie=UTF8&id=Circo%20Mini%20Baby%20Doll%208&node=1041578&searchSize=90&searchView=grid5&searchPage=1&sr=1-2&qid=1292983405&rh=target_com_brand-bin:Circo&searchBinNameList=target_com_age,target_com_gender-bin,target_com_category-bin,price,target_com_character-bin,target_com_brand-bin,target_com_ethnicity-bin&searchRank=salesrank&frombrowse=1
She also really likes the Cabbage Patch Newborns. She has 2 of them. https://www.amazon.com/Cabbage-Patch-Kids-Newborn-Carrier/dp/B002BTSYI8/ref=sr_1_8?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1292983081&sr=1-8
(I have no idea why it says it is $129. It was only around $30 in the stores.)
Sorry I don't know how to turn the links into words. I hope those links work anyways!
Mady has quite a few dolls but she tends to like the ones that look more real vs. Cabbage Patch dolls.
My grandma got her a Bitty Baby last Christmas that is hands down her favorite doll. She spends so much of her day taking care of that baby. I think it's a bit overpriced but it is a quality doll. Its eyes open and close, it has a soft body with plastic arms, legs, and head, and it comes wearing a diaper that M loves to put on and take off.
My DD loves her water baby. And the funny thing is that the water baby was Ashli's favorite doll too.

Paige has two baby dolls - one is a Cabbage Patch baby and I'm not sure what type the other one is (it was a gift from my grandma). She loves them both, but prefers the realistic-looking one over the Cabbage Patch one.
She really likes rocking them and changing their diapers. Silly girl.
BTW, speaking of dolls, I'm slightly disturbed that I'm already receiving American Girl catalogs for Paige. And even more disturbed that I totally can't wait to get one for her a few years down the road.
Ellie's big Santa gift last year was a Graco doll and accessories, similar to this one. She really likes it, although she gets frustrated putting her in and taking her out of the stroller and highchair a lot.
This year, she's getting this big sister/little sister doll and a bunch of accessories from Target from my grandma-IL.
