It's a built-in instinct for humans to protect the little ones, even if it's not our own. That's why when a baby cries, we react. You would probably be a great mother to a real child
@@rebornsofjessi don’t know what your personal situation is but I have been struggling with infertility for a while. I do have two kids so I’m thankful for them. If you would like any tips for trying to conceive I would gladly share them if you want. I got my daughter a reborn doll and the feeing I get when holding her is like the feeling I had with my own babies. It’s not as special as your own real baby but not everyone can conceive instantly
Never assumed that. I wouldn't call struggling with grief a mental health problem. A lot of people struggle with grief. I assumed reborn dolls appealed to people who had lost babies. Or want babies and can't have them. Either way if you just wanna have one I don't see the problem
Btw I ain't saying if your struggling with grief not to seek help. Please please seek help if you are struggling and it's affecting everyday life. What I am saying is, grief is tough and hard to go through. It's hard to process for most people because not everyone has learned how to process it until later in life. Or triggered by grief from earlier in life. My son has lost 3 people in 5 years... He's 9. That's a lot. I have lost 5 people in the last 13 years. I'm 26. The first person I lost was my best friends bigger sister. To suicide and that's a whole different grief. The next was my great gran who I don't remember at all cause she lived in northern Ireland. I was 17 when she passed away of old age. Then it was the 3 people my son has lost that I also lost. Both his great gran, Grampa and an uncle. These are all my in laws. But I loved them as though they were my family. They took me in as if I was there granddaughter/niece. It's been 3 very big losses. But my experience of grief is different to my son because I've been. Old enough to process it all in an adult way. He was four/five when we lost his uncle. He doesn't remember him now. I think he can remember his presence though if that makes sense. When his big gran died his granny took him to her house to see big grandad and he didn't want to go in or stay long. I think that's when he realises she wasn't there anymore... His big grandad died 4 weeks ago. The funeral was this week. We took my son because he is old enough to know he's gone. And I think he needed that experience to say goodbye. Idk if I made the right choice or not for later on. I know that when my friends big sister died her son was 9 and didn't go... But I feel that's a much harder loss
Exactly , when I lost my mother last August 7 th I decided to put my babies in bed with me and my moms stuff animals she received in the hospital before she passed away. That stuff animal represented her and I slept with it for weeks after cause I felt lonely for her .
@@shedeserves365This one hit me in the feels. I lost my grandmother about 4 years ago when I was 15, in the middle of the pandemic and only 3 days after my birthday. She was the main one who took care of me when I was younger, and because of my sensitivity to texture and love for animals she would get me stuffed animals all the time. During my birthday she was almost entirely bedbound, but she still got me a gift, which was a heatable weighted stuffed cat. I slept with it daily for a year and a half after that, and every once in a while I still go and find it when I'm having a rough time.
"I wouldn't call getting a cold being sick. A lot of people struggle with a cold." It's not about quantity it's about quality. We all get sick. Physically and mentally.
Grief is indeed a mental health problem. Why do you think they have grief counselors? I struggled with my mental health so much so after my best friend died that I became suicidal. If that isn't a "mental health problem" then I don't know what qualifies in your mind. Maybe you mean it isn't a "mental illness" which would be correct, but it is still a mental health problem.
I'd love one to hold like that but they're too expensive for me. Holding babies is really relaxing to me. I always wanted to be a mum but my physical health has made that a bad decision. Having a little squishy baby doll would either be super comforting or very upsetting for me.
You could get a playline doll, a lot of reborns start out as playline dolls anyway. I don’t have reborns just a play doll, but I weighted him with marbles (wouldn’t recommend) there’s beads for weighting things I’d use those instead mine was the cheapo option
I had a cheap knock-off one as a teenager and in my early 20s. I am a very maternal person and really wanted a baby, but it just wasn't the right time. Holding the reborn and rocking it really helped during times of stress.
That was why I got one (knock off as well), but ended up giving the doll away because of the amount of teasing I got because of having the doll. Now that I'm older and more secure in myself, I want to get a weighted one. I miss having one. It was so good for my anxiety.
After having a miscarriage I couldn't hold my baby so my body kept all signs of pregnancy and then my psychologist recommended I buy a reborn baby so I could figure out my loss with something tangible. I felt awkward at first, but it helped me to take out what was repressed. After some weeks I was ready to let go and spontaneously gifted a child with that doll.
I’m autistic as well and I have a special interest in dolls. My comfort object is a baby doll, he is not reborn but I did crudely weight him using marbles. The sculpt in the video looks really similar to him, and the size and weight of it seems very comforting, now I want this sculpt. As a kid I loved watching reborn content and your videos are making me interested again!
Unfortunately, many people will do this by having ACTUAL babies. And we all know that doesn’t do well for either parents or kids. I think this is a much more practical solution than having kids to try and “fix” yourself as many people tend to do.
Any hobby or method that doesn’t hurt anyone physically or mentally are a ok. I don’t understand why people cast judgement on anyone’s life choices. It doesn’t affect you move on. Whatever works for you keep doing it. Plus you are super talented.
I feel like your talking directly to me! I wish I could afford a newborn. I hope in the future I can buy one just like the one you have here. I had a horrific panic attack Friday and still suffering
Not quite the same thing but when I’m having a bad anxiety day or i’m feeling really unwell I cuddle my teddy while sat watching tv or trying to calm down in bed etc & really what’s the difference. Teddies are becoming more socially accepted for adults to keep and collect etc so why shouldn’t dolls
I wish I could take my baby doll in public but I unfortunately care what ppl think and I get scared 😔 they’re good for anxiety but then cause social anxiety haha it’s complicated
@@dianneconte9494 honestly that’s part of why I want to avoid it lol. He doesn’t look that real though he’s not reborn, plus he’s gotten quite dirty because he’s constantly with me and the vinyl soaks up the dye and I only wear black and have black sheets 😭 that’s another reason I get embarrassed.
Im just discovering the world of reborns through your videos and let me tell you. I’ve had three miscarriages before I was told I probably can’t have my own children. And now I’m on medication that I REALLY couldn’t have a baby on even if I could. With all this I have a lot of baby loss trauma since all I’ve wanted since a child was to be a mom. ANYWAY. I’m now going to get a reborn doll. Not to replace having my own baby. But just to help with my healing process and be able to hold a baby when I feel like my world is crashing. I REALLY appreciate the work you do.
I have a cat, I got her bc I love cats (cute, silly personality and very soft) and she helped me with my anxiety too she climbes on my chest when I disassociate or start to, or when I get really anxious ^^ Some people needs to grow up and accept that growing up doesn't mean that we lose all emotions, interests and need for care. ^^"
And a big plus, they don’t destroy your sleep by screaming every 3hrs in the night! And you can still leave the house. Great! 😊 They’re very realistic looking and I know this sounds weird but I’d like a fantasy version that’s like a baby green dragon, elf, or tiger/baby hybrid. Like exotic looking.
It's like having a little baby to take care of, and get yourself outside of your own head, only without the pressures and stress of trying to keep it alive
I’m a young college student and I want nothing more than to be a mommy. My whole life I’ve known that my main purpose is to be a mom and raise kids. I’m too young to have babies at the moment and I’ve recently been really struggling with the fact that I can’t be a mom for many years. I’ve been considering buying a reborn baby doll that I can hold and pretend to take care of when I’m having a particularly hard day yearning for a child to care for. I think it would be a good thing for me but I’m hesitant because I still live at home and I’m concerned about my family finding out and giving me a hard time because I know that other than my mom, they won’t understand.
When I started buying reborn babies was because I Only have one real child , a male and I wasn’t having anymore so I call them my children and I have two I called them by the names of my twin nieces because they remind me of them . I sleep with them as well . I hug them and I kiss them too . I treat them like real babies pretty much.
You inspired me to make my own dolls so I thank you. It’s definitely helped with my mental health and i will continue to make more. Eventually i might try to share pictures with you through ig since i follow you there as well. Again, thank you for inspiring me as well as many others.
I am autistic as well. And while I am not to into them now, when I was around 9 years old there was a realistically weighted simple reborn doll for sale in a furniture store. He was in the baby beds prob to show size. I wanted him so bad I begged my parents for him. The weight was super comforting to me. At the time they said no because he was like 100$ but later they went back to the store and got him for me for Christmas and I was in love. I still have him. My sensory needs are not as bad as they were when I was little. but I can imagine someone with more needs finding the dolls comforting into adult hood. My squish mellow collection has been getting quite large though 😅
I had a stillborn many years ago and I was never able to have children. I have been wanting one of these dolls for the past like 20 years but I don't make that kind of money and they're very expensive. If someone could donate one of these dolls to me I would be eternally grateful. I just want to cuddle one so bad.
I can totally see why this would help i honestly wish more people had these so there would be less real children around an so shitty parents can only have these
Me parece increíble, que se pase la gente ahora 24/7 horas jugando a videojuegos, y no pase nada....Y en cambio, nos critiquen tanto por tener muñecas... Alucino
I considered getting one after losing my baby 3yrs ago, but felt like I was going to be judged. I also didnt want to hurt my husband because he is kinda private about certain feelings.
I have been trying to figure out why specifically reborn dolls would be more comforting than say a regular baby doll, I get the more realistic the baby looks and feels helps but I never really thought about the weight, that’s a good point. As I get more involved in dolls in general I do find myself talking to them I don’t find it odd since I talk to my cat, I even talk to my car! Sometimes my kids give me the double take look but I have always been the type of person that speaks my thoughts out loud like when I am looking for something or I am planning /working on something. I really am trying hard to get the hang of trying to make dolls in general just a little more realistic I think this would help people who maybe cannot afford to spend the money on an actual reborn (although I am trying to learn that technique as well)I think given the correct technique you can make anything look more life like/real. I am so glad that people can find comfort in dolls in general it’s really a shame so many people feel they need to hide it or feel that others will think it’s something wrong with them, it’s no different than having a teddy bear collection or a matchbox or comic collection if it brings you comfort and joy or can help someone with an illness or going through a difficult time what’s wrong with that? I’m hoping I can get to the realistic level in painting because my mother has dementia and sometimes she cries because she doesn’t know where her children are -and I am her daughter sleeping right there in the room with her every night, I think a doll might help her but I believe it has to look and feel more realistic then what I have painted so far. Fingers crossed my reborn kit doll comes out ok, I guess mom’s reaction will let me know.
I don’t have reborns but I have regular baby dolls and specifically one has become my comfort object he is the biggest one and I poorly weighted him with marbles. I do find the realism appearance somewhat appealing but to me the main comfort is from size and weight. There’s other aspects as well but yeah, regular baby dolls can be just as comforting depending :) this video really makes me want this sculpt bc of its size and weight 😭 and it looks very similar to mine already. I wish you luck on your journey hopefully you can achieve your goal and it helps your mom. I used to be very into reborns as a kid and this page is making me interested in it again
Love watching your work, it is honestly so incredible what you do, even if i am not into reborns myself, I also find your voice very relaxing and the care you put into your work and making your packages lovely for your customers is amazing. I am also autistic and because I mask it well I deal with crippling anxiety so I get that. I really want to have a go customising my pullip dolls but I am scared to ruin them 😂
I mask really well even on the verge of a break down and then I'm inconsolable anytime I'm not in front of another person 😅 it can be tough! I'm glad you enjoy my videos though!! Honestly comments like this keep me going ❤️
@@theSun.faceSouth not sure if you're replying to me or the commenter. I was diagnosed as autistic last year. In the UK we no longer use Asperger's as a diagnosis.
Hello I’ve been confused lately, but I might potentially be on the autism spectrum and I’ve been feeling like I can’t really love or have a relationship and reborn are great because it makes me feel like I can show empathy and love something like a child😊
The babies help with everything that's the best part whatever is going on in ur life and I want to thank u for making them that's therapy ur videos r helping everyone iam 55 and it happened so long ago but I have worked through it but listening to u helps and it's not just the babies the therapy is talking about it and u r helping so many ppl we all just want to thank u iam following too keep up with the videos ur helping more then u know 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I haves them because i just like them for their beauty and i like to colllect them to. I play with them from time to time to because i like to play with dolls to. I have a whole bunch of these dolls to. Sometimes i gives them away to my friend and relatives and i sell them fo keep my collections down.
Im.confused on which to get. There are so many different ones. Can you tell me if the one your holding is a cloth or silicone. And where you got her, etc.
I can tell you that a doll can’t even come close to the cuddle of a real baby but ykw, real babies cause way more discomfort on the daily, only want cuddles when you’re busy and scream if you put them down. I can see why some people may prefer dolls over real babies (Love my babies but sometimes I wish they’d be as quiet and still as a doll 😂)
Children are not therapy tools. When you have a child, you should not be using them for your own comfort or for them to help fix your mental health issues.
Honestly no… the reasons I find holding my dolls comfortable wouldn’t exist in a real baby. One reason like the creator said you can hold them tight that would hurt a real baby. Also I would be super anxious holding a baby so that wouldn’t help anxiety it would create it
A woman I worked with bought one for her daughter 2nd hand & it was the strangest looking thing by design anyway but theyre so life like it seriously wigged me out! I even had nightmares coz of it & she took the thing everywhere with her. They seriously trigger me
Huh? I mean, I don’t have these but what’s the difference between her saying that and another woman saying she wants to have a real baby because they’re cute? Which happens literally all the time…
@@holaitserin wanting a baby, real or not, because it's "cute" is deranged. lusting over babies is creepy. if your sole purpose for having a baby is because you think it's cute then you're a complete moron and entirely selfish
Reborn babies are also great therapy for people who have dementia.
Came here to say this!!
I did not know that. What does it do for demetia patients? Does it remind them of their own children or is just a nice experience?
@@bryn1063it gives them something to do which can help reduce stress for them

I really am trying hard to get the hang of trying to make dolls in general just a little more realistic I think this would help people who maybe cannot afford to spend the money on an actual reborn (although I am trying to learn that technique as well)I think given the correct technique you can make anything look more life like/real. I am so glad that people can find comfort in dolls in general it’s really a shame so many people feel they need to hide it or feel that others will think it’s something wrong with them, it’s no different than having a teddy bear collection or a matchbox or comic collection if it brings you comfort and joy or can help someone with an illness or going through a difficult time what’s wrong with that? I’m hoping I can get to the realistic level in painting because my mother has dementia and sometimes she cries because she doesn’t know where her children are -and I am her daughter sleeping right there in the room with her every night, I think a doll might help her but I believe it has to look and feel more realistic then what I have painted so far. Fingers crossed my reborn kit doll comes out ok, I guess mom’s reaction will let me know.
I don’t have reborns but I have regular baby dolls and specifically one has become my comfort object he is the biggest one and I poorly weighted him with marbles. I do find the realism appearance somewhat appealing but to me the main comfort is from size and weight. There’s other aspects as well but yeah, regular baby dolls can be just as comforting depending :) this video really makes me want this sculpt bc of its size and weight 😭 and it looks very similar to mine already. I wish you luck on your journey hopefully you can achieve your goal and it helps your mom. I used to be very into reborns as a kid and this page is making me interested in it again
Thank you!!❤❤❤
So lovely. Perhaps that maternal instinct may have helped you not to have a panic attack. The distraction benefits you massively
Love watching your work, it is honestly so incredible what you do, even if i am not into reborns myself, I also find your voice very relaxing and the care you put into your work and making your packages lovely for your customers is amazing. I am also autistic and because I mask it well I deal with crippling anxiety so I get that. I really want to have a go customising my pullip dolls but I am scared to ruin them 😂
I mask really well even on the verge of a break down and then I'm inconsolable anytime I'm not in front of another person 😅 it can be tough! I'm glad you enjoy my videos though!! Honestly comments like this keep me going ❤️
Did you get diagnosed by the doctor with Asperger?
@@theSun.faceSouth not sure if you're replying to me or the commenter.
I was diagnosed as autistic last year. In the UK we no longer use Asperger's as a diagnosis.
Beautiful
Hello I’ve been confused lately, but I might potentially be on the autism spectrum and I’ve been feeling like I can’t really love or have a relationship and reborn are great because it makes me feel like I can show empathy and love something like a child😊
I love reborns I have real ones and fake ones they help so much 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
And ur babies r gorgeous🌹🌹🌹
The babies help with everything that's the best part whatever is going on in ur life and I want to thank u for making them that's therapy ur videos r helping everyone iam 55 and it happened so long ago but I have worked through it but listening to u helps and it's not just the babies the therapy is talking about it and u r helping so many ppl we all just want to thank u iam following too keep up with the videos ur helping more then u know 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What do you mean real vs fake reborns?
I haves them because i just like them for their beauty and i like to colllect them to. I play with them from time to time to because i like to play with dolls to. I have a whole bunch of these dolls to. Sometimes i gives them away to my friend and relatives and i sell them fo keep my collections down.
People with autism seem to be so artistic.
I really want one i just dont know where to buy a legit one. Looks like you! My daughter wants one and i do too. Lol
Reborns.com but I also have recommendations for artists on my website www.rebornsofjess.com and I do about how to avoid scams!
Woooooo she look so real! I do a really Good job❤️☺️
I think it's really cute but do they make some that eat,poop,cry and move around?
I WANT ONE !!!!; 🥺
Can you tell me where you bought your baby I've been trying to find one I just keep getting
Im.confused on which to get. There are so many different ones. Can you tell me if the one your holding is a cloth or silicone. And where you got her, etc.
Autism gang! I'm guessing this is a special interest. Ur incredibly skilled. 🤍

Very expensive!!!!!😢
People guy realistic animal plushes, including weighted ones. I dont see how it's any different.
100% agree ❤
Imagine how comforting a real baby is to hold
💀
Imagine people not wanting or not being able to conceive real babies. Kids also have these for toys.
I can tell you that a doll can’t even come close to the cuddle of a real baby but ykw, real babies cause way more discomfort on the daily, only want cuddles when you’re busy and scream if you put them down. I can see why some people may prefer dolls over real babies
(Love my babies but sometimes I wish they’d be as quiet and still as a doll 😂)
Children are not therapy tools. When you have a child, you should not be using them for your own comfort or for them to help fix your mental health issues.
Honestly no… the reasons I find holding my dolls comfortable wouldn’t exist in a real baby. One reason like the creator said you can hold them tight that would hurt a real baby. Also I would be super anxious holding a baby so that wouldn’t help anxiety it would create it
Had children die five minutes after birth and I want to seal real chicken but I didn't do it
A woman I worked with bought one for her daughter 2nd hand & it was the strangest looking thing by design anyway but theyre so life like it seriously wigged me out! I even had nightmares coz of it & she took the thing everywhere with her. They seriously trigger me
thought it was real for a bit
These dolls freak the hell out of me. They're weird
then dont get one
@@Kytti-not-kitty I won't 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You may be getting a bit of an uncanny valley feeling from them being so realistic but so still and quiet.
I can see that being weird for some.
Why do you call them reborns?
price
No bec I can't have baby
Sis i want one pic
buying a realistic baby like that because it's "cute" is beyond creepy. you need therapy, not a strange doll, its noncey
Huh? I mean, I don’t have these but what’s the difference between her saying that and another woman saying she wants to have a real baby because they’re cute? Which happens literally all the time…
@@holaitserin wanting a baby, real or not, because it's "cute" is deranged. lusting over babies is creepy. if your sole purpose for having a baby is because you think it's cute then you're a complete moron and entirely selfish
