My Fake Baby, Reborn Babies
A documentary recently aired on BBC about a trend where adult women care for and collect dolls which are extremely lifelike. Jamie Eaton can create the dolls so that their stomachs rise and fall as if they were breathing or they contain magnetic parts in the mouth so that they can use a special pacifier. Some women collect the dolls while others have them made to resemble their own children or grandchildren. The next show time is October 5th at 8:00pm Eastern on BBC America.
Below are pictures of the dolls.
Can you tell which is the real baby in this set of photos?
Post your vote in the comments below. The answer will be posted at 6:00pm PST tonight! (Update: I’ve moved the answer post to the previous post so when people read this they don’t get the answer first!)
Here is a clip from the documentary:
This clip is an interview with the maker and a psychiatrist. I think it’s interesting the reasoning the psychiatrist provides as to why women are drawn to the babies, i.e. the release of oxytocin and hormones which makes you feel all snugly and motherly inside.
What are your thoughts? Amazing or Creepy? Either way intriguing…

Featured Video
Two featured videos this time! This was my daughter in my belly 37-38 weeks pregnant. It says Aubrey because we changed her name to Lily at the very last second. In the first video, around 1:23 you can see the belly really start to move.
And here is a really big kick.
