FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What is 'Feels Right' weight?
A: It is 1/2 to 2/3 of the baby's actual birth weight. It is what a baby feels like when they are awake, (they feel about the size they look).
**However, NOT all dolls ordered as 'Feels Right' weight will feel the size they look, as some babies are more of less dense than other babies & the doll may feel heavier or lighter than it looks. (This is uncommon, but it does occasionally happen)**
Q: What is 'Real' weight?
A: If you put a 'Real' weight doll on a scale without the hat or diaper, (depending on the scale used), it will register the actual birth weight of the baby. A 'Real' weight doll feels like a baby that is in a deep sleep, was still born or died after birth (heavier than they look).
**However, NOT all dolls ordered as 'Real' weight will feel heavier than they look, as some babies are less dense than other babies & the doll may feel the size it looks. (This is uncommon, but it does occasionally happen)**
Q: How long does it take to make a doll?
A: 'Normal' dolls (without pattern changes) take about 8 weeks up to 4 months or more (depending on our family activities & health). A 'Specialty doll' can take longer if the pattern needs to be changed.
Multiples also take longer as I have to make more than one doll.
I no longer make expedited/rush orders.
Q: Do you have a discount for multiples?
A: Sadly, I don't, as each doll still takes the same amount of time & materials to make as a single doll.
Q: What is a 'Specialty Doll'?
A: A 'Specialty Doll' is a doll that requires pattern changes to more closely resemble a child & these changes take extra time to create. These changes may include: Clubbed Feet, a doll (like our daughter's) that needs major pattern changes, or other changes to the doll or pattern, (this does NOT include congenital hip dysplasia). Please contact us before ordering if you need a specialty doll.
