This Christmas I was faced with a bit of a dilemma. My daughter would only be 9 months old and being such a tricky age to buy for everyone was looking to me to provide ideas for her pressies. With a grandma & pops, a nanny, great nanny and 4 sets of aunts and uncles all asking me what to buy for her I was really struggling to come up with ideas. We still had lots of big toys from my 2 year old son's birthdays and Christmases and so things like trampolines, ball pits, kitchen sets and even ride on toys and walkers were all out of the question. After an evening spent searching online for ideas I had come up something for all but my mother and one of Eliza's ...  Read the complete review

At Christmas my second daughter was 10 months old and I didn't know what I could buy her. I was looking online and browsing through catalogues when I saw this Fisher Price My First Baby, which I thought would be perfect. == Packaging == The doll is packaged in a brightly coloured cardboard box with a clear plastic window so you can see it inside. == The Doll == The doll is approximately 12 inches high and is made from lovely soft material with a peachy coloured face and hands. Her eyes embroidered on in blue thread, pink eyebrows and nose and a darker pink smile. She has a soft pink hat with silky material on the top. The ...  Read the complete review

Fisher Price My First Doll When my parents came round to visit me and my beautiful baby girl after we arrived home from the hospital, they came bearing gifts, including the Fisher Price My First Doll that has since been named Dolly. Dolly is a mostly pink stuffed soft toy that looks like you might expect a stuffed doll to look like; she has a warm smile, a cute hat, a soft middle and an inbuilt rattle. The doll is fairly large for a newborn baby and I would say that Dolly is approximately 20 cms high as well as being fairly chunky, which does help my daughter grasp for her and hold on to her. I am not exactly sure what my mum and dad ...  Read the complete review

I don't believe in dolls are for girls and cars are for boys, and amongst my other mama friends I have made my opinions very well known. Kai received this doll on his first birthday from a friend of mine, and although he already has a few other dolls which he will happily play with, he didn't show any interest in this one at first. It is a a completely soft doll and both the head and body are very soft which I think may be why - Kai seems to prefer plastic and wooden toys at the minute. I also think that it is perhaps a little too young for him. Just lately however I've been trying to get him to play with a wider range of toys and this doll is one of them. ...  Read the complete review

Both of my children have been given one of these fisher price dolls. They're an ideal first doll, and will only cost you about £10 from a variety of retailers. This doll was an absolute godsend as it was a perfect size for those delicate little hands that can hardly grip anything when they are first born. We wanted something to put in the cot and take with us on days out. This fitted the bill perfectly as it is small enough to fit in a bag, but big enough that a small baby can see and grip it. It's measurements are: H28, W18, D7.5cm, and it weighs only 249g. As with most kids, my children carried this everywhere, constantly dropped it on the floor, ...  Read the complete review
