Secrist details: A weighted newborn baby doll adds much to the feel of realism. They should be stuffed enough to keep their shape but not so much that they feel as hard as a dried out loaf of bread. You want the body shape to shift a little as you cuddle the baby. The best way to achieve this effect is to use semi-round-shaped clean, quality made plastic beads. Our beads are made of a very stable material that will not discolor, give off oily substances, shrink or have sharp little points. These beads will gently roll around and shift within the baby's bottom (cloth body) so her little body will nestle within your arms.
