I originally purchased the Baby Annabelle doll for my daughter. She played with it for a few days and then got frustrated that the doll would not stop crying, would automatically shut her eyes and then open them back up when she "shut down" and the final straw was any little noise would start the crying again. The doll ended up in the spare room where all the old toys go.
Then along comes Baby Born. My daughter absolutely loves her. She comes with us to the store, to pick up her big sister at school, and to the shower. She has her own Christmas list and my daughter has requested that I knit a stocking for Baby Born so that Santa can fill it. None of this happened with Annabelle.
The little tears are cute, my daughter loves the little squeak that she can make and I think most of all, she loves the imagination time with her baby that is not interrupted by a sudden burst of tears or battery shut down. If that isn't money well spent I don't know what is.
There are tons of accessories available to keep playtime interesting for a 4 year old and also to keep interest in the doll.
On top of it, she fits into the preemie size type Pampers or Huggies. I save a ton of money buying these rather than the official diapers.
There are some minor issues that I feel bear mentioning.
1 - Ours came with the pink pajama set. Within days the outfit is awfully pilled (those little fuzz balls) which only got worse with washing. I know this is due to the type of fabric. I really wish the company would reconsider what they use for material.
2 - One of the legs is slightly separated from the body. I do believe this might be from my daughter pulling the leg the wrong way. It is still watertight so Kudos to Zapf, but I wish it fit better.
3 - We feed her the real water and found it is best in my daughter's case (aged 4) to leave the diaper on during feeding as it is hard for her to constantly remember to keep the doll upright to prevent her from wetting.
I want to mention that after reading the instructions I thought it was best to save feeding the included food to the doll until my daughter is older (if ever). I am seriously considering not ever using the packet of food because it does seem to be quite messy. Some reality is good, but I've changed my share of diapers, cleaned my share of potties and hineys so I'll let the pretend feeding of Baby Born satisfy her hunger pains!
All in all, I was very satisfied with this doll, but more importantly, so was my little girl.

My mom is typing this for me so I can let you know what I think of Baby Born. My name is Annie. I like baby born a lot. She is lots of fun. I take care of her alot. The best part about her is I can give her a bath and she drinks out of her bottle. I can change her diapers and be the mommy. I love her.

My daughter got this doll for Christmas. When I read the review I thought it was going to do so much. She doesn't do what I thought she would. Squeals with delight means, "squeaks if you squeeze her arm." I got Baby Annabell and loved her and all her functions. But to my surprise both of my daughters fight over this doll because she uses her potty and they can bathe her. It is there favorite one. For that I would buy another one, but only on sale. It is not worth the money (full price)for what you get. She is cute though.

My three year old received this doll as a gift. It seemed like it would be wonderful since it has so many functions, but it pees everywhere, comes with only one diaper, and spits it's food back up. I haven't been able to get it to cry and it sounds like a dog toy when it squeaks. My daughter is an only child and she enjoys having a baby around. She takes it everywhere including the bath tub. It's nice that it so durable, but considering how disfuntional she is and how expensive all the accessories are, I would not recommend this.

This doll is just awful--3 year old wanted a "tear baby" soooo badly so Santa broguht this for Christmas. He should have saved himself the $40. It is impossible to make it cry. It pees EVERYWHERE! You cannot lay it down without having it wet everything in sight. It only comes with one diaper and you pretty much need to be a weight lifter to squeeze the water out of it's bottle and into the mouth. What a rotten toy!

THIS DOLL IS HORRIBLE, so for all the Moms that are searching for the ethnic version of the doll, don't waste your time or money. My 8 year old is a doll lover, and was very excited and surprised to receive this doll as a Christmas gift. On Christmas Day we spent several hours trying to make this doll live up to expectations, and that NEVER happened. The tedious directions on holding the doll at certain angles and trying to make her work takes ALL of the fun out of the doll. Honestly, after about 3 hours, she gave up and tossed it aside. We are going to return it ASAP. I would not recommend this doll to anyone, ethnic version or nonethnic version

I got my babyborn on August 18 2005. I loved to play with this doll until I found out you had to clean her body out when you feed her, or bath her. I threw her away after I found that you had to clean her out all the time !!!!!! I never got my doll to eat the special food etheir!!! All the food ever did was run straight out of her mouth and that got annoying!!!!! There were not enough diapers ethier with how much water runs out of her after you feed her!!! I used the potty for her after she soaked through that one diaper that she came with!!!!After I fed my baby born doll and she used the potty the potty would over flow and soak evrything!!! Mine never squeaked ethier cried mabye after ten bottles cried only two times!!! I would not reccomend this doll to anyone!! I am ten. If it was difficult for a ten year old to clean out then it would be twice as hard for a three year old to clean this doll out
!!!!!!!

i love baby born shes so cute and she does so many things i named mine casey and cloe fox i love your reviews

I got this doll for my 6yr old daughter for Christmas. She wanted a baby that cried & wet it's diaper. It does wet it's diaper, but you have to hold it just right when you SQUEEZE the water in it's mouth or it just spills out. I haven't even tried to mess with the food since the water is not easy to get down it. Then in order to get it to cry, you have to squeeze the arm SOOO hard that my daughter can't even get it to work. I barely can. I guess the educational part of that is if you squeeze a REAL baby's arm that hard, yes it will cry!! The other arm you squeeze to make it "squeak" again, too hard to squeeze. The only bonus I see to this doll is that you can take it in the bath wich my daughter does. She doesn't really play with it otherwise, so it was an expensive bath toy. If it had not been for the fact that it came from "Santa" I would have promptly returned it & let her select another doll. VERY DISAPOINTED!

This is the perfect doll for a little girl. Not only does she eat, cry, wet etc. She can go in the tub. My daughter loves her. I love that she does not take batteries or make LOUD sounds. Great doll for the price. Also if you don't have the baby born tub, get it! It is very well made and you just pump the flower and water comes out of the shower. Very easy for a 3 year old believe it or not.
