Baby Annabell

Baby Annabell is a delightful, interactive baby doll created by Zapf Creation. She’s designed to mimic a real baby with various lifelike actions and sounds, encouraging children to care for her just like a true parent.

While both are made by Zapf Creation and are popular nurturing dolls, they have some key differences. Baby Annabell dolls generally have a soft, cuddly body and focus on the nurturing and comforting aspects of a baby’s life. Baby born dolls often have a harder, plastic body and more mechanical functions like being able to use a potty.

This is where the magic happens! Depending on the specific model, she can:

• Drink: From her special bottle.
• Cry: With real, adorable baby tears when she’s upset or finished drinking!
• Wet her nappy: Like a real baby after drinking.
• Giggle: When she’s happy or tickled.
• Burp: After finishing her bottle.
• Suck her dummy: And make cute sucking sounds.
• Yawn and Sleep: Her eyes often close when she’s sleepy or rocked.
• Move: Some models have subtle head movements.

Fill her special bottle with clean tap water. When you feed her, she “drinks” it. After a moment, if she gets upset, gently squeeze her arm or back – and out come the tears! Just make sure she’s wearing her nappy, or you might have a little puddle!

Often, after feeding her, gently patting her back will prompt a burp. To make her giggle, try gently tickling her tummy or simply comforting her with her dummy or rocking her. She’s a happy baby sometimes!

Rocking her gently in your arms and giving her the dummy often encourages her to yawn, close her eyes, and fall asleep, sometimes with a little sigh.

No, most interactive Baby Annabell dolls are not designed to be submerged in water. This is because of their electronic components. If she gets dirty, gently wipe her with a damp cloth. Never put her in the bath or shower!

Absolutely! We stock outfits, bottles, nappies, and other accessories specifically designed for Baby Annabell dolls. Many of her clothes are also suitable for other 43cm/17-inch baby dolls.

• Check the batteries: Are they fresh and inserted correctly?
• Check the on/off switch: Is it firmly in the “on” position?
• Clear blockages: If she’s not drinking or crying tears, her internal pipes might be slightly blocked. Try gently feeding her water a few times.
• Reset: Sometimes, simply taking out the batteries for a minute and then putting them back in can help reset her.

Yes, thankfully! Most Baby Annabell dolls have an on/off switch, usually located on her back or under her clothes. This allows for quiet time when needed.
