Your thoughts on the reborn dolls?

[XfairyhopesX]

I never thought about it like that as a 3d photo of a lost angel thats a lovely thought, just me personally even in those sad circumstances i still find then unnerving, i think to me its cos they are so so lifelike i wonder if me being scared of clowns is anything to do with, thanks for your replies girlies v interesting xxx

omg they are all so precious absolutely amazing. I have never heard of these so just googled it and they are truley truley amazing. I cant believe you can have one custom made too what a heartfelt thing to do for all the wonderful angel mummies. If they werent so expensive i would have 3 custom made of when all my boys were newborns so when they grow up they can see what they looked like and i would always remember how they looked and how small they were, its so hard to remember how small and precious they are too easily when they start to take on different features as they get older.

I was actually going to post, they creep me out, but what I've bolded is a good point. If they were cheaper, I'd love to get one made of Nate to show him when he's older how cute and precious he was as a baby.

I am so split on how I feel about these.

On one hand I would love to have one made of Alex, so I can take in every little bit of his face again, like has been mentioned, a 3d photo. But I think I would struggle too much. It would make me think of holding him in the mortuary too much, watching his tummy waiting for him to breathe again, but it never happening. I think if I was to have one it would be one of them mini ones that only has the face sculptured and the rest is a blanket iykwim? then it would be like his face but not too much of a resembalance for me to have flashbacks and imagine holding him dead iykwim?

We were in asda and I'm sure I saw one, and my heart was racing, I really thought it was a dead baby

They make me sad. I feel so bad for the women out there that buy these as a substitute for a baby that they don't have. They make me want to cry xx

i understand the ladies that get them of their angel babies, but i dont understand the women that have loads that take them out in prams etc bit strange to me

I would never get one of either Honey or Riley Rae, I couldnt just leave them on a shelf to gather dust but neither would I want to buy a pram, cot or whatever. I think it would be like rubbing salt into the wound for me. But I do think it it brings any angel Mummy some comfort, then that is fab because there is little that does.

Dont like it when people take them for walks etc.

Me and Kaysie want the monkey, soooooooooo cute and she loves monkeys so much.

Hayley i did honestly wonder what angel mummys in particular thought, i can see what your saying re the face being so so similar to treasure but i do agree with you i think they would bring back more sad memories for you xxxxxxxxxxxx

Also, I tried to get on a bus the other day and couldn't because there was a woman already on it. With a reborn in a pram. What. The. Fuck.

How did you know it was a reborn?

Because I could see it, I got on with the buggy and the pram with it in was facing me. And the pram was a vintage style Silvercross and the reborn was sat way up like you wouldn't have a newborn baby.

I love them.
