You can get a reborn with the main body as cotton in for a cheaper price, if this suits your budget.
Buy the essentials such as clothes, blankets, diapers, bottles, pacifiers, a deluxe stroller, a car seat, reborn doll milk formula [this is usually fabric softener or glue and water], baby wipes, and toddler toys. Do not feel the need to buy overpriced baby items. You can purchase items through the internet or in store.
Always be sure to take some photos with your reborn.
You can also spend some time holding the reborn or child and sitting with him or her, so that you can become confident and comfortable with your reborn doll. Make sure to always care for your doll just like you would a newborn.
If people come up to you and say “Is that your baby or toddler?”, just say “Yes, this is my reborn baby or toddler”. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your new baby or toddler. If you want to have the doll all to yourself, that’s fine, too, just be a good mom to your baby and always take care of it.
You could also carry a diaper bag. This could include extra diapers, a baby bottle, a changing blanket, and extra pacifiers & extra clothes [winter or summer]. You can use these items in the same way you would if you had a child or newborn or toddler. Alternatively, place your reborn essentials into the bottom of your stroller in your diaper bag. Or, you can put them in your reborn’s booster seat in your car and take them for a ride around town or take them for long car rides until they fall asleep just like you would with a newborn or toddler.
