Our Last Baby Alive Post

Zoe Kissing her Baby Alive when she got her replacement from Hasbro

We love Baby Alive. The idea of feeding and changing a baby doll is so fun. My daughter and I both had Baby Alive dolls, and both of them broke. After both of us replacing our first Baby Alive Real Surprises dolls, they broke again. We did not abuse our dolls, in fact, my daughter's second Baby Alive doll broke after only one day. They quit talking and responding to us. This is extremely disappointing, and we have decided to get different dolls. Good Bye Baby Alive. We miss you </3

Another Baby Alive quit working after only one day :-(

Baby Alive Diaper for Cheap

Here's a video I made about using Parent's Choice newborn sized diapers for Baby Alive Real Suprirses, instead of using the expensive baby alive diapers.

Baby Alive Potty

Violet sitting on the new Baby Alive potty. It is made for another Baby Alive doll, but we needed it. Its not a perfect fit, but it serves the purpose. Isn't Violet cute sitting on the potty?

Loving Google's Auto-Awesome Feature on our Baby Alive Pics

I got a notification that some of my 'auto uploads' had been auto awesomed. I was like... What's that? Apparently, when you take random bursts of photos, Google auto awesomizes them. Here are some of my faves. :-)

Here is Zoe cutting Violet's hair for me

Google did these for me, without me even knowing, but I love them. How cool... I remember a day when putting these together would have taken expensive software and precious time. Now, they were auto-uploaded, and auto-awesomed, before I even was aware. Thanks google. :-)

Baby Alive Hair-do

When Zoe and I got our original Baby Alive Real Surprises dolls, we cut their hair.

Violet's Hair Cut

I was so sad when I had to exchange Violet, because it would mean losing her hair style. So not long after getting my new Baby Alive Real Surprises doll, Zoe and I cut her hair.

Violet's Hair Cut

I loved it even better than her first cut, but today we plussed her hair by palm rubbing her head. Violet now has the most perfect baby doll hair, ever. I am completely in love with her.

She is such a doll <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="" data-blogger-escaped-intended="" data-blogger-escaped-pun="">

Sorbitol Baby Alive Food

Since my daughter and I have gotten our Baby Alive Real Surprises dolls, I have been searching for cheap alternatives to the expensive Baby Alive food. The baking soda method does work, but I really do not like how abrasive it is. It isn't anything like real baby food, or even like the Baby Alive food. The baking soda Baby Alive food is really grainy. It is one of the best alternatives I have found, but I really do not care for it.

I have searched YouTube for many different alternatives. Many girls are using lotion and pretending it is yogurt for their dolls. I haven't ever tried the lotion. It really worries me. After our first dolls quit working, I have wanted to be extremely careful with what we give our Baby Alive dolls to eat. 

Some of my research has lead me to Sorbitol. Some say that REAL Baby Alive food is made of sorbitol. I am not sure if this is accurate, or not, but it does look really powdery, sometimes. I say sometimes, because there are also some really chunky packets of Baby Alive food. 

I went out on a limb, and have purchased some Sorbitol from Amazon. I plan to use it for our Baby Alive's food. While we still have some authentic Baby Alive food, right now, I know it will run out all too soon, and we will be wanting more, so I am ready to make the Sorbitol Food for our dolls. I will post a review and possibly a video comparing baby alive food with Sorbitol Food, so check back within the next week. :-)

Until then, if you want to try it yourself...Here is the recipe I found, here:

Sorbitol Method

• 
  
  Put 1 tbsp. of sorbitol in a bowl.
• Slowly add water to the sorbitol using a tablespoon and stirring until you have a thin consistency. Keep track of how many tablespoons of water you added so you'll know for next time. You don't want it to be too thick or it can get stuck inside the doll.
• Add two to four drops of food coloring to the sorbitol mixture. You can choose colors to simulate whatever baby food you want it to be--a light tan could be applesauce and yellow could be for bananas, for example.
