The Ashton-Drake GalleriesBella Rose Reborn Interactive Baby Doll, 19 inches, Lifelike Doll with Breathing and Cooing Sounds, Heartbeat Feature

great classic

She's gorgeous right from the box, her hair has texture, her skin is soft as butter. Her weight is perfect for me, even her legs are weighted! The batteries are easy to get to and to put in. Her arms are possible. Her sounds are a little creepy at first but they do sound real. Her breathing and heartbeat are steady and strong however you can hear the mechanics of them. She looks JUST LIKE her pictures on the ad. I LOVE HER. 100% would buy another from this company. She even arrived a week early!

Absolutely in LOVE with this little baby. I was so anxious to get her to cope with my own loss. Let me tell you, she’s the ONE if you can’t decide on a doll. Her noises are adorable. I’ve found out that there are 2 different versions of this doll by searching YouTube, and the older model seems to sound more... horrific. The doll I received makes cute life-like noises, and her heartbeat isn’t as loud as everyone says. The way her chest rises and falls is AMAZING. It is very powerful you can see her breathe even with a blanket on. Her hair is so cute and curly, very full and not patchy at all. I love the outfit she came in, but of course I had to change her like 10 times.Her eyelashes are so long and her blushing is lifelike. Everyone thought she was my real baby!

The media could not be loaded. The sound of the heart beat sounds like someone tapping on metal. Attaching a video which I wish someone had done sooner so I could hear. Very disappointed that I’ll be sending her back.

I work with new parents and wanted a "weighted" baby that looked like a newborn. I did a LOT of researching before choosing this doll. I did not get a silicone baby as tho they look very real (!) they also look like a dead baby to me. (I am a nurse and lactation consultant and didnt want to freak out my clients)I was a little nervous on how this baby would look, because of the reviews from other baby's. This baby had the best reviews, so I went with that.I received her a week ago and am very happy with my purchase! She smells like baby powder and pretty much looks just like the picture. I was worried about the hair (per other doll reviews) but did as another suggested to get rid of the shiny glue - and brushed baby powder on her head and then wet the hair and head to get rid of the powder. Turned out great. There is a little button to push by her left clavicle for the breathing/cooing/heartbeat sounds. I wasnt looking for or wanting that, but it does work. Just push to start and push again to turn off. My grand daughter likes it. We play doctor a lot and it is fun for her to hear actual sounds with the stethoscope. (tho you don't need one to hear) The heart beat has a bit of a "ting" to it, the coos are more of a baby breathing loudly, and the breathing is her abdomen going in and out. You can hear the motor with the abdomen movement. So, not real, but fine for a childs interest. I will probably eventually just take the box out of her back - or at least the batteries.The only thing I don't really like is that her arms can't move like the picture shows. Her legs are weighted and very moveable, but her arms are stiff at the joints and so don't lay flat up by her head or down by her side. I wish they were weighted and floppy like the legs.

I bought Sophia for my daughter for Christmas and she loved it!!!very satisfied!!shipping was pretty quick.we also went and purchased sticky velcro and made a paci for her and is easy to remove with no damage.she takes newborn or 0-3 month clothing.my daughters only complaint is she can’t be bathed or eat/drink like “real babies” but she has other babies to fill in that spot while Sophia takes a nap.I have allowed her to bring her out places and people do think she was a real baby and almost concerned that my 7 year old is holding a newborn and me looking like a bad mom to where I had to explain that it was just a doll to stop the stares and whispers.all and all I’m just glad my daughter is happy!!

She is adorable! I absolutely love her weight, especially her weighted legs! She is so fun to dress, I find myself changing her outfit often because she looks cute in everything. Her hair is pretty well done as far as rooting goes, but doesn’t take much to mess it up, I prefer her with a hat and at least a headband, and I found that leave in conditioner helped. Only thing I would change about her is get rid of her fake sounds but keep the breathing, her breathing is amazingly real looking! And make it so her head can turn. Her arms are stiff but they are so poseable which is really nice.

Ok I have to say that I thought I was going to have to give no stars and be very negative. I received the first doll and she was not working and was used (I paid for new one). I called customer service and they shipped me a new one.I love her! I could not wait to get home from work and "play" with her! She is everything they say she is. Her heart beat is a little strange but the breathing and cooing are adorable!Thank you so much Bradford Exchange customer service department!!!!I had crocheted a sweater, hat and bootie set and was disappointed when the other came and was damaged. But very much worth the wait.
