Baby BJD's <3

Nobilitydoll could do it http://www.nobilitydoll.com/shop/step1.php?number=724

I don't think you're weird either, it's a cute idea XD

 

Would you prefer a human scale baby BJD (like a Reborn doll) or a baby doll that's in scale with other dolls? I'd love a "realistic" baby doll to go with my other dolls, but for me it would still have to look like a doll and not a miniature replica of a real baby.
There are parents who have used the DIM MiniMee service to get a doll sculpt made of their (somewhat older) children, but I'm not sure how that would work out for babies.

 

You don't see it that often anymore, but sometimes people make a cloth body for heads that don't have a resin body yet. If you are a bit crafty, you could make one until you are able to get a resin body. Nobility doll takes requests for custom resin bodies.

 

Congrats on your being a mummy! It sounds a really cool idea, I've often thought about having an actual baby-type BJD. Littlefees are close, but they're more like older toddlers than actual babies.
This is OT, but you could commision a Reborn artist to make an actual baby-sized replica ^^

 

Angel region makes nappy choo which is a good in scale baby bjd for other bjds http://dollsoom.com/eng/shop/item.php?it_id=1271234235 but it isn't quite what you wnat probably. You could ahve nobility of dim make a head for you son for the nappy chuu body, that would bring costs down

 

Having a reborn I did, and running out of room for it, I'd say get a 12-15cm tiny. There are some who are more realistic looking than others, you could paint them up like a human baby. Being they work with traditional dollhouse size you could make a miniature replica of your nursery and add more family members as they come.

A cloth body on a BJD would be interesting. I thought of doing that with a spare tiny head and hands in a stuffed baby outfit but I missed the extra head promo. It would make bigger dolls easier to carry.

 

I think it's a wonderful idea! Congrats on the new baby!

 

Congratulations on your new baby! I also think it's a very cute idea. Some people commission tattoos of their kids, so I think a dll isn't strange at all.

 

Congrats on the baby! My friend is about to be a new mommy herself, she's due very VERY soon, so I'm always happy to hear about other people's kids.

However, on the doll front, I, personally, would sort of give a really weird look to someone making a doll of their baby. Especially a realistic-looking one. Dolls in general, outside of the stylized BJD world, give me the creeps. Especially baby dolls, because to me, they just look like dead babies, and I can only imagine if you had a doll of your own baby that would be..... A bit morbid I think. I'd rather have something like video or photos or maybe a print of your kid on a cup or a tee shirt. But not a realistic-looking doll replica. It just squicks me a bit.

But this is me, I don't have kids, even though I'm 25, and I don't plan on ever having any. I have enough nieces and nephews and younger siblings that I've taken care of/am still caring for that I don't need kids of my own. Though if one more person tells me 'you're not a parent, its different when they're your own' I may scream myself hoarse. XD

 

Congratulations from me, too!

A baby-BJD is a cute idea, especially if his size fits the other dolls and they can do photoshoots together. There are very few really baby-featured tinies now, but they are not unheard of...Nappy Choo was already mentioned, and there are the fabulous Baby Supia dolls, too - I think they are quite realistic compared to other tinies. And Felixdoll has (had?) the very-very teensy Small Comfort dolls - adorable^^

 

Congrats on your newborn!

I'm sort of looking for a 'baby' to fit with my SD couple, though, them being 60 cm a newborn would have to be at least 16 to 17 cm, which is a third of the average length of a human full term newborn. Considering the length of puki's, tiny's, soombabies and the realistic dollzone ones, they'd all be premature.
So I have till Christmas to look for a "Baby Jesus" for my BJD Christmas scene but I doubt I'll find one. At least I did find a plastic substitute of the proper length. Looks pretty cute with mommy
I don't think it's weird wanting to capture the look of your newborn that way forever. They grow up so fast.

 

I'd really love to have a 1:1 scale toddler doll, similar to Lusion Dahlia. Something that could wear regular toddler clothes. That would be so adorable

 

Off topic as they may be, I happened to run across this custom reborn service tonight which is almost exactly what you're asking for; a to-scale baby doll of your son, a 3D snapshot if you will. Just throwing it out there
