Throwback -- Our FIRST Baby Alive Dolls

This is a photo of my FIRST Violet. My original Baby Alive Real Surprises Baby Doll. She was really sweet. I wish I still had her. I do have another Violet just like her, now, but we do not use our Real Surprises Baby Alive dolls much, for fear that they will break. 

Here is my original Violet in our purple car seat. She was playing with a rattle hanging from the handle on her seat. I love how her eyes are half opened. It makes her seem a little sleepy. Notice she is wearing the BONUS Dress and Vest that came in the bonus pack of the Baby Alive Real Surprises Doll at Walmart during the Christmas Season. She is also wearing little black patent shoes that came from Walmart. They are made for the My Life As dolls from Walmart, but they fit her perfectly.

Isn't she so sweet. Look at her here holding her little stuffed bunny. She looks so sleepy and cute with her little pacifier that she came with.

Sadly, however, after feeding my original Violet doll a LOT, she stopped working. I tried taking her apart to fix her, but it was hopeless. She is such a cute baby, but after going through several Baby Alive Real Surprises Dolls, we figured out that her pipe somehow gets loose inside her, which allows liquids to leak on her electronic parts. This is why we only feed our Real Surprises dolls rarely. We do they they are so sweet, but do not want them to break.

Overall, the Baby Alive Real Surprises dolls are SO cute. I love how she is a little sassy and teases and turns her head when we try to feed her. But she does break easily, so anyone looking for this Baby Alive doll needs to beware that she may not be able to talk if you feed her too much. 

All that said, however, this is an adorable little Baby Alive doll. She doesn't have a soft face, but her head turns at the neck and her eyes close when she is laid down, which makes her able to sleep or be awake. 

Do you have this doll? Does it still work? Let us know. I would love to hear if anyone has a success story of keeping her working if they feed her very often.

Also, who loves the food packet dolls the best? I know many people prefer the play doh eating dolls, but we often hear that people are really missing the food packet dolls, and wish Hasbro would come out with a new food packet eating baby. What do you think?

Baby Alive Better Now Bailey Morning Routine

Today we did a MORNING ROUTINE with our Baby Alive Better Now Bailey (Brunette), and posted the video on YouTube:

For those of you who are unable to watch the video, I thought I would do the Morning Routine in a sort of BLOG format. This is the abridged version of this morning routine.

Baby Alive Doll Juice Packets

As a Baby Alive YouTuber, I often get asked:

"Where can I get Baby Alive Doll Juice Packets?"

The truth is that they are really hard to find anymore. They used to be available at Walmart, ToysRUs, and other stores that sold Baby Alive items, but I rarely find them, anymore. The last store I found them in was actually a KMart.

With that being said, it isn't hopeless! Sometimes I buy Baby Alive Doll Juice Packets on eBay. Here is a link that may help:

Also, Toys R Us USED to sell a HUGE Super Refill Pack. The pack included 10 Baby Alive Diapers, 10 Baby Alive Food Packets, and 10 Baby Alive Juice Packets. This pack was great, and we made a video unboxing it a while back, if you want to see:

Ebay will often sell this Super Refill Pack. Here is a link that may help you find it, if you are interested:

Be careful, though. There is a NEWER version of a Baby Alive Super Refill Pack that does NOT come with juice. So be sure you get the one that looks the same as the one in my video, if you are after juice. The newer Refill pack is still very cool, but it comes with 15 Baby Alive diapers and 15 Baby Alive doll food packets, instead of juice. :-)

If you really want doll juice, right now, and you do not have any Baby Alive Doll juice packets, there are some simple methods that you can make your own doll juice or milk.

Baby Alive Doll Orange Juice:

Bottle of Water
A tiny bit of white washable tempera paint
1 drop of orange or yellow food coloring

Mix ingredients for perfect Baby Alive Doll Orange Juice :-)

Baby Alive Doll Apple Juice:

A small piece of paper

Color with brown marker on paper. Put paper into bottle of water and stir around until water is Apple Juice colored. Remove Paper. And you have perfect Baby Alive Doll Apple Juice!
