Frequently asked questions
What is a reborn doll?
Reborn dolls are hand-painted baby dolls designed to look and feel as lifelike as possible. They’re often weighted, scented, and dressed like real newborns — not toys, but collectible, comforting art pieces.
Why do people have reborns?
People are drawn to reborns for many reasons — comfort, anxiety relief, sensory support, healing from loss or trauma, or simply the joy of collecting. There’s no one right reason. You can read our full article here.
How do I care for my reborn doll?
Reborns should be handled gently, like a real newborn. Support the head, avoid dark/damp storage, and clean only with soft cloths (never submerge in water).
Are they safe around pets or children?
Reborns aren’t designed for rough play. While they’re not toxic, they can be damaged if handled too roughly. Always supervise young children, and keep your doll away from pets who like to chew or cuddle!
Do your dolls come with a box opening?
Yes — every Moon & Milk baby comes dressed, wrapped, and ready for cuddles. We include a magnetic dummy, outfit, sleepsuit, nappies, and sometimes a toy or blanket. Each box is thoughtfully packed with care.
Can I request a custom reborn?
At the moment, Moon & Milk is a small nursery — so we only offer completed babies for adoption. However, you’re welcome to message us if there’s something you’re hoping for in future.
Do you ship internationally?
Right now we ship within the UK. If you’re outside the UK and interested in a Moon & Milk baby, please get in touch — we may be able to arrange it.
