A weighted newborn baby doll adds much to the feel of realism. The doll should be stuffed enough to keep its shape but not so much that it feels as hard as a dried out loaf of bread. The body shape should shift a little as you cuddle the baby.

The best way to achieve this effect is to use plastic beads. Our beads are made of a very stable material that will not discolor, give off oily substances, shrink or have sharp little points. These beads will gently roll around and shift within the baby's bottom (cloth body) so her little body will nestle within your arms. Sold in 1 lb. bags.
