THank you o much. I was so disappointed the doll I bought for my granddaughter was not weighted, this is just what our lil baby needs! Thank you for sharing
If the doll is full silicone you can’t change the weight. They are solid so there is nowhere to add weight. If it’s a partial silicone doll (head, arms and legs silicone with a cloth body) then you can re stuff and weight the body only.
How much did the finished baby weigh in total? I noticed these babies usually only way around 4 lb. Would it be weird to make the final weight closer to 8 or 10 lb? I am thinking of the big boy doll and would like him to weigh about 10 lb.
A 4 lb doll actually feels heavier. Due to the dead weight theory. I bought a doll that weighs 5.9oz but she technically only weighed 4.7lbs. It's because a 7lb real baby (which is water weight) feels lighter than 7lbs of glass beads...if you want a baby that holds and feels like 10lbs. You'd want to weigh it out to actually something like 8lbs distributed correctly will "feel" a lot heavier
Oh aprintly its just that MY baby's were all 8 lb witch is the high side of average. I'm getting a reborn in a few days who is 3-5 pounds (second hand and not sure how much) I want to add more to get to that 8 lb size but now I don't know if that much will fit in the baby
The thing you need to remember is that there is a big difference between a real baby at 8 lbs and a doll at 8 lbs. A real baby’s weight is eventually distributed throughout their body and a doll at 8 lbs is just dead weight. For instance if you hold an 8 lb barbell it will feel a lot heavier than an 8 lb infant. Keep that in mind. When I weight a doll I make sure the both arms weigh the same and both legs weigh the same and I make sure the head doesn’t out weigh the body. I make the bag of beads in their butt weigh the same as the bag of beads in their head. If the bag of beads is too heavy for their head then it’s too heavy for their butt. This way the weight is more evenly distributed which makes them feel more like a real baby. Also you want just the right amount of stuffing so you don’t feel the bags of beads in their body but also that the body isn’t over stuffed. You want the doll to melt into your arms for the perfect cuddle but not be too floppy. Babies do have some control over their backs and necks. Hope this helps 😊
El trato que le das al muñeco no me gusta Más que montar el muñeco parece que lo estabas desalmado un meneo frutal le das al muñeco la pintura sufre de echo te puedes llevarte la pintura la manera fuerte y bruta que lo almas al muñeco yo desde luego no te compraría un muñeco el trato tan mal que le das pintado muy bien me gusta que yo también los pinto y pintado me gusta pero el trato montado al muñeco cero no me gusta hay que hacerlo con más delicadeza son piezas muy delicadas sobre todo la pintura ya pintados

Where do you purchase your beads and fiber?
Thank you! You were very helpful, I just bought a soft silicone full body. Do I stuff the same way?

You can make them weigh whatever you want. That’s the the best thing about doing this yourself. She weighed about 6 lbs. 😊

Where do u purchase your beads/sand?
The glass beads I get from EBay. I never use sand. I use fine glass beads in the limbs and the larger glass beads in the head and body.
Do you reweigh partial silicone babies the same? I tried to reweigh mine and his body looks funky still
Yes I have re weighted partial silicones as well.
What size of ties rap do you use?
I buy them from a doll supply web site
www.truborns.com/search?q=Zip+ties
How do you know how much each part should weigh?
She says how much the limbs,body and head are weighed
where can i find zip ties ?
If you live in the US I get mine from dollar tree.
How much dose she way in total? Alot of baby's I see are like 5 lb but a baby is like 8 lb
