bluesuperted Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Saw this and thought of this thread...We have a Haba doll (Nelle) for our son, got it for his second Christmas (16 months) from BabaMe online. She is lovely often played with and usually naked! He also has a pushchair (ironic given he was hardly ever in one!) and as much gender neutral stuff as I can find in both clothing, toys and books. Books with strong heroines are also very important to me and it is a bugbear of mine that due to my inability to drive he totally associates driving with men! I will definitely explain I'm an exception to the rule on that score when the time comes!

mrs f Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey just to say I have a 20m old boy who has a doll, he likes feeding it etc, isn't the most exciting toy for him but he does like it & I'm pregnant so we talk about mummy's baby a fair bit too. In terms if which one it is, it's a smaller than life size one but he refuses to put its clothes on so it just has its cloth body. Just get a cheap one & see if he likes it?

cornelia Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks again - and bluesuperted, I like the way you think! When someone gave my boy a book of construction vehicles for his first birthday, I was somewhat bemused, but it immediately became his favourite and he knew the names of all of them within about two weeks. Big shock for my husband too, who hates cars, refuses to drive (despite having a licence) and was not expecting this.Good suggestion too mrs f; I think he still has no idea what I'm on about when I talk about the baby, but I'm not too worried about that at this stage. April might as well be next century, as far as he's concerned!

snowboarder Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I think I want a haba doll...for myself!My boys (3 and 1) have a couple of dolls - we have a charlie (as in Charlie and lola) and a haba-esque rag boy doll. They are both pretty much ignored, sadly, and 1 yr old pushes duplo block around in his dolly buggy....

mrs f Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Cornelia, my son now thinks everyone has babies in their tummies, including himself... It's gonna be slow progress getting there but we talk about it a every day, I even got him to kiss the bump the other day but since then all requests for affection have been met with bye baby! The doll can't harm, your son may like it even more when your baby comes along, ask someone to get him one for Xmas? Ours came from his grandmas house as she has a stash of toys.
