The development of the reborn doll

The babies also get magnets glued inside for pacifiers and/or hair bows, unless otherwise stated. The kits are then put together using jointed or non jointed cloth bodies and/or vinyl torsos, which can be anatomically correct. The dolls' limbs, body, and head are weighted with various materials. Usually it is a combination of Polyfil, poly or glass pellets or beads, or steel shot. The poly pellets or glass beads are poured into each limb then stuffed the remaining space with Polyfil. The belly will contain pouches of contained weighting material and then polyfil around that. The head will be filled like the belly with a contained pouch which allows for the head to flop like a newborn head would flop. Then each part is put onto the body through use of cords or zip ties. Some babies can be further customized with heart beat boxes, breathing machines, belly or butt plates for picture taking, or even cry boxes.
The doll is then weighed on a scale and the date, time, weight, and length is recorded onto a birth certificate. The dolls are then packaged with diapers, clothing, bottles, pacifiers, blankets, toys, and all sorts of goodies depending on what the artist and customer agreed the baby would be sent home with. I always send mine home with a sleeper, diaper, birth certificate, and care sheet. Some have a lot more than that. They must be packed very carefully, be fully insured, and the buyer notified of the ship date. Some artists only ship within their country, other ship world wide. I ship world wide, but to date I have only had the privilege to ship in the US.
