Luvabella Newborn [whose name is currently Freya according to Hero but up for debate on a nightly basis] is an interactive newborn baby doll. It doesn’t matter how old you are, I’m pretty sure if someone hands you a bottle of bubble mixture, you’re at least tempted to have a go.

When your careers adviser tells you at your post GCSE appointment that she thinks you should become a librarian, it’s pretty deflating. All these tiny details are what make Luvabella the most adorable little newborn for small mummies to care for. Luvabella does have a sleep mode, so your little one will need to pick her up and play with her to get her out of sleep mode. If you’re familiar with Fingerlings baby robot monkeys that sit on your finger, Luvabella is a more high tech version of the same technology.

HOLD her BACK BUTTON, once you hear the beep, adjust the LANGUAGE SWITCH and release her BACK BUTTON. I finally managed to persuade her that Luvabella was tired and needed a sleep while Isabella ate her dinner. Each interactive accessory initiates a play mode, during which Luvabella will respond in 4 or 5 different ways.

This is done exactly as you would your own baby – over the shoulder and patting the upper back until she burps! She stopped for a couple of years and didn’t seem overly interested but just before her birthday, we noticed her playing more and more with her dolls and became really maternal with them.I think this really is going to be one of the top rated toys for the festive season so make sure you grab yours before they sell out! Jensen was quick to his brother’s defence as Hero was backfooted a bit being just five years old, but Jens is used to hearing this question now.

I’m so proud of him for saying this – despite everything in his life outside our home telling him the complete opposite. I’m sharing not only every way I can think of to make your family life more fun with as little effort as possible, but how to capture those memories beautifully with your camera for when they’ve flown the nest and yet are still bringing their laundry home, and you need to remember that they were adorable and cute once upon a time. We’ve been given a set of three Discovery Dinosaur Jigsaws to give away – and a set to enable us to photograph them. Childhood is gone in the blink of an eye [except the sleepless nights part, that lasts for decades I think] and I wanted to enjoy every moment I could and make it as fun as possible.All of my boys are hoping at this moment to become Dads one day [I’ve not put them off parenting yet it seems] and seeing them cuddling baby dolls is right up there in my happy tears territory at PMT time. Luvabella Newborn is made to be lifelike and the first thing the boys noticed was the fact she has a bottle and dummy. In fact, the instruction manual suggests that your little one not even take the doll OUTSIDE, for fear that dirt, grass, and cement will scratch the finish and block the sensors.

Besides animals and foods, Luvabella can learn simple commands and responses related to her own care and play like “eat please,” “me hungry,” and “peekaboo. The first design and manufacturing of the doll may not be completely up to the challenge of rough playing children. My boys were all much bigger than Luvabella when they were born themselves so I look at her and wonder what it would have been like to have teeny babies.She may ask for food by saying “Eat please” or “me hungry” OR your little one can feed Luvabella whenever she wants. As you can imagine, with all that technology and possibility, your little one can absolutely NOT get Luvabella wet. We really do love our Luvabella – she’s a wonderful little thing and really does keep the children entertained. Even mothers of Jensen’s friends have told me worriedly that their child had seen photos of Jens playing with “girls’ toys” and looking happy, and that their child has asked why and they’ve said he was made to do it. The baby doll learns best when playing with the lamb (she learns and improves animal names) or eating from the spoon (she learns and improves food related words).
