Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Reborn Dolls

Have a question related to reborn dolls or creating your own reborn? Trying to get started in the fun and rewarding hobby of reborn dolls can be confusing and downright difficult at times. With limited stores and shops selling reborns, many newcomers are left with more questions than answers, which is why we created this page. Here we’ll have an ongoing FAQ where we’ll be answering some of the most common questions regarding reborn dolls. Of course, there’s a good chance we won’t have an answer to EVERYONE’S question, but we promise we’ll do our best to answer any that you have. If there’s a question that’s burning a hole in your mind, shoot us an email through our contact form and we’ll try to post it here.

How Much Do Reborn Dolls Cost?

There’s no denying the fact that reborn dolls vary greatly in price. Because they’re made by both skilled doll artists and big-name doll companies, they’re sold at a wide range of prices. You can find some low-quality reborn dolls available for a price tag of roughly $60 bucks, while the ones made by the biggest names in the reborn doll industry are sold for over $10,000. Thankfully, though, you can find realistic, high-quality reborn dolls for sale with a price tag of $150-$300.

Who Invented Reborn Dolls?

The history of reborn dolls is shrouded in speculation, as no one knows who the first person to ever create a reborn doll is. However, we do know that the hobby of making lifelike dolls exploded during the late 80s to early 90s, and as a result, the term “reborn doll” was created. Dolls that were made to look as realistic as possible were then called reborns, and so the craze began.

Is It Hard To Reborn a Doll?

If reborning was easy, I think more people would be doing it. The fact is, though, that a high-quality, lifelike reborn doll takes 30-40 hours to complete. You have to find a doll, remove all the features, carefully add multiple layers of paint to it, weigh it down, etc. In addition to the excessive time it takes to reborn a doll, the supplies are also going to cost extra money. If you’re interested in reborning a doll, you should start with a kit that includes everything you need. These aren’t going to give you as much freedom as starting from scratch, but it’s easier and less expensive for beginners to use.

Can I Style My Reborn’s Hair?

It really depends on the type of hair used and how much the artist rooted on their head. Typically, mohair has some realistic properties that allow the individual to move and style it around a bit. You can even use gel, pomade and other hair care products on your reborn as long as you wash it out afterward.

How Do I Get a Pacifier To Stay In My Reborn’s Mouth?

So, you’ve seen pictures and videos of reborns with pacifiers in their mouth but can’t get one to stay in your reborn’s mouth? The trick is to place a magnet behind the doll’s mouth when you’re making it. You can then place another magnet strip behind the pacifier; therefore, allowing you to add and remove the pacifier as you please. Unfortunately, however, reborn dolls sold without this magnetic strip won’t have this option.

Do Reborn Dolls Move?

Most traditional reborn dolls don’t have any mechanical or moving parts. However, there are some which have unique features built-in that allow them to make noises, move and even cry. As you can expect, these dolls typically cost a bit more than traditional dolls without any extra moving parts.

Can Children Play With Reborn Dolls?

Absolutely they can, but remember that reborns are more of a collectible and less of a toy. If they’re mishandled or treated without care, they can become easily damaged. To make matters worse, it’s oftentimes difficult to fix such damages, as you may not be able to find a perfect match for the paint, limbs, eyes, etc. Teach your child what’s acceptable and what’s not with reborns to ensure they don’t damage it in any way.

    Everyone here asking for dolls than can pee and poop: Reborn dolls don’t do that. Infant simulators do that, but they don’t look that life like. Best interactive doll, even though she does not pee or drink, is the Luvabella. She does a lot of things for a robot doll.

    Do you have to feed your baby like what if you are at school and you i don’t feed it? And if you are on a long trip and you don’t change the diaper what will happen? And When you take it out of the box do you have to change its clothes and diaper immediately? I have A crib but it is wood and has legs supporting it form the ground will that be okay? And I told My Parents I wanted one but they said it was to life-like and Realistic my dad said maybe for Christmas but if they get me one how will I make sure they get a real one and the right one not a ripoff Low quality one.

        No it doesn’t. The only dolls that wet a diaper are the ones with a drink and wet system. And all that is is a plastic fish tank tube going fro the back of the mouth through the body and ends where the pee comes out. That’s all. They don’t poop…what you see on youtube is people using fake poo and putting it into the diaper before they start filming. I like to call it the pretent poo lol.

      Only if it is full silicone. Some have cloth bodies, they can’t go into the water. Make sure you dry the doll good and then give her some baby powder with a very soft make up brush, all over.

      Ok! Lily let’s be realistic here…. although reborns look real keep in mind they are dolls so it’s not like having a reborn doll will interfere with your everyday living.. if your in school or have a full time job your reborn will be fine til you get home, she want get hungry, thirsty or lonely for that matter because your reborn has no feelings or organs & it’s ok to love your reborn like it’s a real baby that is definitely your choice, but keep it mind it’s only what you make it to be.

      Not all but some, those “some” would probably cost more too

      If you found an artist who did portrait designs then I’m sure they would do that for you, also that’s the nicest thing I’ve ever heard of a friend doing! Can you be my friend?

      There are rare Reborns that make noises and have mecanisms inside to make them look like they are breathing but I don’t think there are ones that pee or cry. Also I would wash it with a damp wash cloth and soap.

      no, you take a bottle and seal the tip with silicone seal, plastic wrap, toothpicks ect. then you push the nipple down

      Yes you can definitely take it on a plane but you might get some stares because they look so much like real babies.

      Yes you may find people looking or staring like Micky Jones said but Definitely! Just be careful not to loose her/him…. I said that because maybe someone will think it’s a real baby and try to doll kidnap it XD

    Why aren’t silicone reborn kits easy to find like the vinyl kits are ? And where are silicone kits available if they are out ? I know painting silicon will be different from that of vinyl, how different? Thank you

      Yes, some do actually open and close there eyes but…. Did you know you have to pull them open gently???? And BTW, They’d cost some more money, And you don’t normally see those silicone often so you’re really going to have to save up for those special days when they do come out! 🙂

      Nobody really knows the answer to that question but, If you really want one it might cost more than vinyl’s.

      No, Reborns don’t eat or drink real food but you can seal the nipple of the bottle and push it in to make it look like the baby is drinking from the bottle

      Only the ones that say that they are “DRINK AND WET REBORNS”. (These start in price around $2,000 US dollars) They actually have a tubing system inside that allows them do drink a bottle and it passes through them out of their atomically correct (they have realistic gender body parts = boy=penis/ girl=vagina) Into diaper or just free flow. Just like real baby would pee. But they do not eat solids and they do not poop! You have to make belive that part yourself. Some people use peanut butter and BBQ sauce mixed-up together and smeared into diaper to pretend it’s poop. Or I like to use peanut butter and jar of baby food peas or spinach mixed together. I’ve dealt with real baby poop, and I think this gives a real representation of actual poop! Gross!
      As far as the sounds go, you can either buy reborns with sounds already built in. The more features your reborn has, the more it will cost.
      They have ones that actually look like they are breathing. Ones that cry, and coo, and babble, and laugh (those are usually all together on same one- not the breathing, but everything else).
      You can also just buy the voice box that makes all the sounds, or makes it looks like your reborn is breathing, to add to your kit by just going to ebay and searching for infant sounds voicebox for reborns ect. Or drink and wet system for sale for reborn kit
      Just know, if you’re spending around $200- you’re most likely not getting a gender specific full body, drink and wet, crying, reborn! If you did, you hit the jackpot! Consider yourself very lucky indeed!

      Hey Katelin,

      While there are a select few reborn dolls with crying, breathing and other “unique” features, most of them don’t. I’ve seen these small little voice boxes that you can install into the belly of your reborn dolls, but I’ve never personally tried them out.

      If you have a cloth body reborn and has like, this stuff on the back you can put a soundbox in there, and it could only around 2.00 on ebay!
