His eyes close when you lay him down. The face, arms and legs are vinyl and are slightly scented with vanilla. Just letting you know in case you have a child sensitive to smells.

Little Prince! This little guy is all about cuteness. Even the little frog on his striped outfit is cute! His clothes are removable so your little boy can dress him up. The bottle fits in his mouth as does his thumb.
There are mixed feelings about the powder scented vinyl. Some think it is way too strong, others don’t mention it at all so I am guessing it didn’t bother them and others still like it. He is a charmer for sure. 13 inches long and for ages 1 and up.

I like that this series of dolls has a few different ethnic options with different skin tones available: Asian, African American and Caucasian are all available. They are very life-like and realistic looking and anatomically correct. The arms and legs move so they can be posed as well.
This series has very nice reviews. 14 inches long and for ages 2 and up.
It took quite a while to find a nice Hispanic baby boy doll with good reviews but I finally did. Super cheap!
While smaller than some of the other dolls, it is very nice and comes with a one piece outfit and hat. Both are removable. Super cute, isn’t he? He is 11 inches tall and is for 18 months and up.

Does your boy have a special doll? Leave a comment, I would enjoy hearing about your experiences with boys and dolls.
Clare says
Yikes the boy with the striped shirt looks pretty real! I’m sewing up some dolls as gifts for my kiddos’ second birthday, I think it’s important for boys to play with dolls as much as girls.
Sheila Rogers says
Clare, Neat that you are sewing dolls for your boy (and girl!) to play with. I love homemade gifts.
Emma says
Boys who play with dolls grow up to be good fathers. Just my opinion! 😉
Sheila Rogers says
Emma, Many people agree with you!
Cindy Howell says
My boys don’t really have any “dolls,” but they still love their stuffed animals as if they were friends. 🙂
Sheila Rogers says
Oh yes, stuffed animals are great companions as well.
Pam says
Both of my boys have “fathered” dolls at some time. They learn to take care of others who are smaller than them with doll play.
Sheila Rogers says
Hi Pam, Nice to hear that your boys enjoyed a bit of doll play. I agree with you that it is a great way to learn to take care of others. Play is how kids learn 🙂
Marie @ Child Led Life says
I love watching my son play with dolls. He looks so much like his Dad! Warms my heart to know his play now will help him be an amazing father later. 🙂
Sheila Rogers says
Marie,
Yes, that is what I love about it as well. Play does help children learn so much.
Katie says
My grandpa always would say “every kid should have a baby doll.” My son asked for a baby doll when he was 3 and loved his BeeBee
Sheila Rogers says
Love this! Your grandpa gave some good advice. Thank you for your comment.
Suzanne says
My grandson is two years old and had never really shown interest in doll but he was sick recently and would wipe his plush puppy’s nose so I think it’s about time. I raised two daughters so I’m not certain, would you recommend starting with a soft or more realistic (anatomically correct) baby?
Sheila Rogers says
Hi Suzanne,
Good question! You could go either way. It usually comes down to what you think your grandson would like the most. If he likes to hug and cuddle a doll then perhaps the soft one would be a good choice. If you think he is more interested in dressing and playing with the doll the more realistic ones may be better because some come with removable clothing and are able to sit up better than the soft dolls. I hope this helps a bit. Overall, if it were me, I would likely get a more realistic one because I think he would play with it for a longer span of time.
Best wishes on your choice! Thank you for stopping by.
