Best Cute Baby Dolls

Most of us want to give a baby girl a doll pretty soon after she is born even when they are so small that they can not hold that baby doll yet. Good choices for those first dolls are ones that will stimulate her senses in different ways and will be easy for her to lift in the first months as she begins to grow and is able to grasp items. If it is too heavy she may opt to not play with it. 

Having a baby doll that is more like a stuffed animal will be a good choice. Picking one that has different fabrics that stimulate her sense of touch is also a wonderful idea. She will probably find one fabric texture on the doll that will give her comfort when she feels it, too. Her tactile skills can be enhanced because she is feeling the different textures and manipulating the doll in different ways.

Unlike the doll manufacturers of old, companies are now being sensitive to little girls and their ethnic backgrounds. I think that is wonderful and a great move in the right direction. Many firms offer the ability to select the skin tone, eye color and hair color to make the baby doll more personal for a child. 

In decades past it was rather difficult to find a doll that looked more like a child who came from an Asian culture or an African culture or for much of any of the different colors of humankind. That created some self-esteem issues for many little girls. They could have gotten the wrong message that people who looked like them were bad or unworthy or lots of negative messages that were not spoken but perceived in their little minds. 

Having a baby doll that more resembles her own family helps her to have a pride in the culture that her family is a part of.

As a little girl grows she begins to be encouraged to do new things and to start to not be so much of a baby any longer. One of those major events is when we start to toilet train her. Some children take to the training fairly easily but most kids struggle with it. Having a doll that can go through the process with her is often a helpful tool. The baby doll has success when sitting on the potty which encourage your little girl to feel comfortable trying herself. 

Baby dolls are sometimes collected by women instead of being for little girls. There are several lines of dolls that are made specifically for these collectors. They usually are called "real baby dolls" because they look very much like a real baby. Most are the same size as a newborn or older baby and will often even weigh about the same as a human baby would at the age they represent. Typically, but not always, these creations will be more expensive than one we would choose for a child to play with.
