Baby Alive Doll

I had a baby alive. Yes, the food is messy. It dries and gets plugged in the babies system. I used to use a coat hanger to get it out. No one get testy on me...that is how I did it. I loved that doll.

OMG, I had Baby Alive! I'm 45 years old. I must have been 6 or 7 when I had mine (kids played with dolls longer back then) and I loved mine. I have no idea what today's Baby Alive is like. My daughter is a teenager and she never had one. If your daughter has played with someone else's and really wants it for Christmas, I'd get it for her.

My oldest never played with hers but when my youngest turned five she started to play with it. She plays with it about once a week. We also just make the food from the recipe we got off the Internet. Are your little girls into dolls generally? My oldest saw the commercial and wanted it, but I should have known better because she never played with her other dolls. It sat on a shelf for three years barely touched.

If you LO loves playing with dolls, this is the doll to get. She does it all - eat, pee, cry, etc.

My GD got one when she was five. She's not much of a baby doll type of girl so she didn't play with it for long. Now she says she wants the American Girl doll but I'm not going there. It would be just like the Baby Alive - great for a week and then on to something else.

P.S. If you're gonna get it, start looking now. They sell out fast!

I don't know how they are now, but back in the 70s/early 80s, when they first came out, the food you would feed them would get stuck inside the doll and eventually start to rot and smell bad. I'm sure I didn't pour enough water through the doll and I don't know if the new generation are like that. Just something to keep in mind.

I have 2 in my home they take the bottles filled w/ water then pee out the hole to wet the diaper it's the set that comes w/ a Dr.kit inside.I haven't purchsed the diapers that are used for them just the newborn diapers from samples & my aunt if she can get premmie size from work.They are failry inexpensive here i've not seen them for over 20 bucks but it depends on what your wanting the doll to do then the price goes up,oh ya also have the one that cries laughs coos that came w/ a baby carrier now that one is so cute it only takes batteries no peeing or feeding

I had one as a child and loved it. You occasionally have to clean the inside because the pretend food gets all dried up in the food tunnel.

I am totally buying one next year for my baby girl when she is old enough.!! They are sooo cute :) I wanted one when I was little!

My daughter has one. We don't do the food, though - way too expensive for regularly playing with. I looked online and found you can mix baking soda with water to make a thin paste and feed the dolls that along with their bottles of water. That's pretty much all we've ever used and my daughter is more than happy to use it and because it's so cheap she can feed the doll as much as she wants and because it's baking soda I don't worry about rotting bad smells. :)

I LOVED mine when I was 5, but I loved playing house. If your daughter likes to play with dolls, or pretend Mommy, then she will love it!
