I remember seeing a tv-show, in which they gave a mechanic baby to a couple with no kids yet or a teen, who was pregnant, to make them experience, what it's like to have a baby and how much a baby will need attention. The doll would demand feeding and diapering. It would wake you up at night and it would cry, when things weren't right.
I couldn't find a link to this, but found another kind of doll instead. This sounds a bit creepy, how they are made. This baby doll is for those, who really want one.
Not Child's Play: 'I Feel Like I Have a Real Baby'
Quote:
Creating the dolls is an elaborate process that begins with vinyl doll parts and glass eyeballs imported from Germany. The blush of newborn skin is created by adding several layers of flesh-colored paint. To seal it, the dolls have to be baked. Their limbs and head are then cooled.
Then Newsom painstakingly microroots more than 20,000 strands of mohair onto the dolls head. The result: an astonishingly lifelike doll that a woman somewhere is yearning for.
