Size & Weight Guide for Reborn Dolls
Share
Choosing the perfect reborn doll is such an exciting experience — whether you're a collector, a gift-giver, or shopping for your first baby. One of the most common questions we get here at Ivy Reborns is: "What size and weight are your reborn dolls?" So, we’ve put together this helpful guide to make sure you know exactly what to expect when your little one arrives.
Reborn Doll Sizes
Our reborn dolls are carefully crafted to be realistic in both look and feel. Here’s a breakdown of the typical sizes we offer:
Newborn Size (18"–20”)
-
Fits real newborn baby clothes (size 0–1 month in the UK)
-
Perfect for realistic cuddle and posing
-
Head-to-toe length mimics an average newborn baby
-
Ideal for collectors who love a true-to-life baby experience
Preemie Size (16”–17”)
-
Fits preemie baby clothes (tiny baby sizes)
-
Slightly smaller and lighter, great for younger collectors or anyone who prefers a petite baby
-
Still detailed and lifelike, just with a more delicate feel
Larger Babies (21"–23”)
-
Fits 0–3/3-6 month clothing
-
Feels more like a slightly older baby
-
Great for photo props or for those who like a heavier baby to hold
Reborn Doll Weight
Our reborn dolls are weighted to feel as realistic as possible when you hold them. Here's a general weight guide:
Doll Size | Approximate Weight |
---|---|
16” Preemie | 3–4 lbs (1.4–1.8 kg) |
18–20” Newborn | 4–6 lbs (1.8–2.7 kg) |
21–23” Baby | 8–11 lbs (3.6–5 kg) |
➡️ Please note: All of our reborns are handcrafted, so weights can vary slightly depending on materials used. If you’d like a lighter baby, or prefer your doll without internal weighting, feel free to contact us before purchase!
What Clothes Will Fit My Reborn?
Here’s a quick clothing size guide based on doll length:
-
16" Preemie: Tiny Baby or Early Baby sizes
-
18"–20" Newborn: Newborn / First Size / Up to 1 month
-
21"–23": 0–3/3-6 Month clothing
You can find adorable baby outfits in most supermarkets or baby stores — and dressing your reborn is part of the fun!
A Realistic Feel, Every Time
At Ivy Reborns, we take pride in making every doll look, feel, and cuddle just like a real baby. Each reborn is weighted with high-quality materials to give that floppy, snuggly sensation when held in your arms — just like the real thing.
If you have specific needs — like avoiding magnets (for pacemakers) or requesting a lighter doll for a child — we’re always happy to accommodate. Just get in touch before ordering!
