  1. Step 1

    Choose a soft, huggable baby doll for your infant or toddler. A So Soft Baby Girl ($12.99), a Kitchy-Koo Baby ($7.99), an Antique Baby Doll ($11.99), or a Very Soft Baby ($8.99) all make wonderfully cuddly companions!

  2. Step 2

    Choose a baby doll for its realistic features. These dolls can be found in any price range! Baby Doll Tendre Calin ($39.99), Baby Doll Bebe Cheri ($99.99), Baby Doll Pti Coeur ($49.99), Baby Doll Mini-Calin ($14.99), and the Original Preemie dolls ($38.99) all look remarkably like real infants!

  3. Step 3

    Choose a doll that will keep your child entertained with giggles and songs! A Singing Bouncy Baby ($19.99) sings when she is bounced upon a child's knee and giggles when her tummy is tickled. Singing Bathtime Bouncy Baby ($9.99) comes with her own tub and will make bath time a pleasure for your child.

  4. Step 4

    Look for dolls that come with much-needed accessories! A Bath Baby with Accessories ($44.99), a Baby Doll with Sleeping Bag Set ($20.99), a Happy Baby Doll with Fabric Travel Case ($59.99), a Backpack Baby ($17.99), and a Baby in a Basket ($14.99) will all provide your child with hours of playtime fun!

  5. Step 5

    Give your child a baby doll that acts like a baby. Baby Born ($49.99) and Baby Born ' African American ($49.99) perform infant-like functions such as sucking a pacifier and drinking from a bottle.

  6. Step 6

    Look for unusual baby dolls. Sweet Cuddlers dolls ($9.99), when filled with warm water, have the movement and warmth of a real baby!

  7. Step 7

    Give your child double or triple the fun that a single baby doll can bring. Baby Twins ($12.99) and Baby Triplets ($18.99) are all dressed in removable onesies and baby caps.

  8. Step 8

    Look for accessories such as baby carriages, bassinets, clothing and furniture made especially for baby dolls. Items such as baby bottles can cost as little as $1.99, while other items such as doll furniture and accessory sets can cost up to $100.

on 9/20/2008 I am looking for a 22" (or larger) eegee (goldberger) doll that is in good shape so I can replace the one that I use to have when I was a toddler. I do however need the legs for a 22" doll that I had recently bought at an antique store. If anyone can tell me where I can find these dolls, please email me @ doris_devos@hotmail.com. Thank you!
