I'd try washing it with some dish soap before tossing it and buy something new. If she loves it and you already have it, as opposed to buying a whole new item. Our elderly next door neighbor gave DS a similar doll and he really likes it, so I don't mind.
My daughter loves her corelle doll. It's not ef but she loves the thing so much that I can't bare to take it away from her. She also has rag dolls(that she had first) but has never shown any interest in them. I figure she doesn't put it in her mouth so it can't be too bad...right?!?!
