Not everyone knows what reborn is. But the appearance of these dolls, so similar to real babies, caused an ambiguous reaction among people. Someone thinks that this is a very high quality and cute doll, and some believe that selling such babies is blasphemy, because they look so much like people. In this article, we will find out what reborn is and find out who buys them and why.

Small replicas of real children

This doll looks like a newborn baby. Realism is given to them by the features of a real child: constrictions on the arms and legs, disheveled and sweaty hairs, a direct look. The composition of its manufacture includes plastic and vinyl, they, in turn, are carefully processed. There is no glitter on such dolls, their “skin” is matte and looks like a real one. In general, the word "reborn" is translated from English as "newly born." In the composition of the material from which these dolls are made, even a fragrance is added, similar to the smell of babies. They release not only he althybabies, but even premature babies!

The nails of the dolls are made from a special gel to create the effect of real ones, and the eyelashes and hair are so similar to natural ones that you can’t even believe in the artificiality of such babies. Modern reborn baby dolls are equipped with various functions: sucking a pacifier, opening and closing eyes, crying and spitting up. And some even know how to breathe and imitate a heartbeat! Such a "perfect" child. No need to wake up at night to feed, treat the tummy and rocking in your arms. Tired - turned it off and that's it.

Production technology

The first reborn dolls appeared in the 90s of the twentieth century in America. Initially, they were published as figurines, for aesthetics and collecting. But later they became wildly popular among ordinary people. In our country, they learned about what reborn was in 2008 and immediately they gained interest among our residents.

The cost of such a doll is undoubtedly high, because it takes at least three weeks to make it. The cheapest can be purchased for a price in the region of 5-6 thousand rubles, and individual copies can cost more than one hundred thousand! The technology for making such dolls is called "reborning".

At the first stage, the doll is cleaned of industrial paint and allowed to dry. Next, they give the baby doll a skin color of a natural shade, draw capillaries and veins.

The most difficult stage is working with hair. Each hair needs to be threaded into a reborn doll. Photos depicting such dolls are so realistic that it is not always possible to understand: a real childor a toy is depicted on them.

Who buys these dolls?

Initially, artificial babies were made for beauty. But later there were those who began to acquire them for completely different purposes. Many older, single women who have long raised their own children, as well as those who are not able to get pregnant, began to look closely at such realistic babies. Some saw in them an opportunity to remember motherhood again, they buy clothes, roll them in a stroller, rock them in their arms. Psychologists note that no plastic doll can replace a real child. If a woman begins to treat the doll like a real child, this may indicate some mental abnormalities.

Conclusion

Periodically on the Internet you can find blogs of the owners of such dolls, in which they describe the life of their reborn, his "skills", "behavior on a walk", etc. And this may seem strange. Of course, it is worth distinguishing a real baby from a toy. You need to understand what a reborn is, and be aware that this is just a doll. Yes, realistic. But she is not alive. Can't really breathe, smile, grow. And will never replace a real baby.
