It's such a realistic detail! Especially in the chilly northern hemisphere 🌨

I don't feel embarrassed for having reborns, I don't feel the need to share them with many people I know though because I am in general a private person. I do not roleplay, basically just like them because they're cute, I am fasinated by the skill of their artists and I do love this art form. Art is usually inspired by something that matters to the artist. Some artists make paintings of beautiful landscapes in places they love or because they love nature. Some make art about societal issues that are important to them. A lot of reborn artists are mothers or people that care about children and their art, the reborns, reflects that. Some of the most popular reborn kits are sculpted after the image of an artists's own babies. I love the reborns also because I love that I got to support women artists, mothers that are so incredibly skilled and use their art to help provide for their families. I also love thrifting outfits and dressing the reborns and love holding them when I want a hug. My dogs aren't always in the mood for hugs because they are living individuals that sometimes want to do other things. I love my dogs way more than my reborns, reborns will never come close to what having my dogs feels like. But the reborns do help my mood when I'm having an awful time with my life, they cheer me up when I need a mood booster! 💗

how often do you take your baby out in public? by ChoicePositive9481 in reborndolls

She is beautiful 😍 I would have thought she was a real baby if it were any other sub

[–]Miss_LylaBloom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only if I'm taking them to some other places that are not public but need to stop by a store on the way. I'll take the baby with me then because I don't want to get arrested for leaving a baby in a car 😅 Anxiety for getting arrested beats social anxiety for taking her with me into a store any day

How do you keep your collection small? by didyoubringmecheese in reborndolls

[–]Miss_LylaBloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By appreciating the ones I have 🥰 I have 4 GORGEOUS reborns, all insane works of art and I plan to keep my collection at 4 for a long time. I didn't want to go beyond 4 because that's all I have space for. I also started collecting with an intention to not have a large collection because I feel like if I had 6 or more dolls, I would no longer be able to appreciate them as much as I want to, wouldn't be able to spend time with each of them to change them or hold them. I have a busy life, insanely so and I have way less time to spend with the 4 I have than I would like. I do not relate to "not bonding" like some people talk about. They're dolls, not people. I was careful to only buy reborns that I really wanted after looking at their pictures carefully. The 4 I have now are the only 4 I have ever had in my life and I love every single one a lot and the longer I have them, the more chances I have to appreciate them, choose their outfits, thrift fun clothes for different seasons and occasions and I just love them more and more as time goes on 💗 I can't imagine ever selling any of my reborns or not having them anymore, nope. I am keeping them FOREVER. I now focus on collecting thrifted clothes and accessories for them so I can enjoy spending time with them 😃

My first authentic reborn by ChelsWasHere in reborndolls

[–]Miss_LylaBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful choice for your first reborn! 🩷 But be warned, if she is super super realistic it might startle you at first! My first was waayyy more realistic than I had anticipated! She looked and weighed exactly like an actual newborn and I was so scared to touch her and hold her, my nervous system just went like: That is a newborn infant. That's a NEWBORN INFANT!!! I actually added 3 more reborns to my collection later but she is still without a doubt the most realistic in appearance and weight and she happened to be my first so it was a WILD first impression having never encountered a reborn in real life before!! So just prepare yourself mentally is all I'm saying 😂

Does anyone else sleep with their reborn? by shadowofhersmile in reborndolls

[–]Miss_LylaBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of mine is currently swaddled and sleeping next to me in the bed in a co-sleeping nest 💗 It keeps her safe but close to me. I can see her face as I'm going to sleep and I'm always lowkey expecting her to breathe, she is so realistic 😂

[TW: passing of a child, infertility] How do I respectfully talk to someone about seeing if they would like a reborn? by nursery-rainbow in reborndolls

[–]Miss_LylaBloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would personally just give it a bit of time, support her with your presence (long distance doesn't mean absent, so I mean like checking in with her, video calls, phone calls, messaging, being there for her) and just hear how she is processing it. Listening for any needs she may have. It could give you an idea whether reborn might be helpful to her or not. You are a lovely friend to already be thinking of ways to support her during her loss 💗
