(She was around 2.5). Now, she's obsessed with it and carries it with her everywhere. We have other dolls (someone got her the pottery barn doll, another nice doll my parents got from Europe, my old doll I used to have) but the American Girl is the only one she consistently plays with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2354108 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:11:23 +0000 Miss Ariel 2354108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Half of the reason I was excited to have a girl was so I could buy her stuff from American girl. I held off buying one for her 1st birthday but plan in buying it next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2354039 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:45:58 +0000 birdofafeather 2354039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD got one right before her 2nd birthday and she loves it. she actually named it (all of her other "friends" have creative names like: girl, doll, baby, bear, bunny. ha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353770 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:57:07 +0000 Ree723 2353770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls both have one - the 3 yr old isn't really that fussed about it, but my 21 month old carries it everywhere and is so loving towards her baby! She's had it for about three months and has loved it from the start. She also loves undressing her baby but gets frustrated that she can't get the clothes on again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353766 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:54:26 +0000 youboots 2353766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nephews have one and it prepped #1 for #2, and now my 3 year old nephew still feeds it a bottle and plays with it. When T is done she will inherit it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353752 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:47:29 +0000 Pirouette 2353752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: I'm pretty sure it was $75 as opposed to $60 for the bitty baby, and it included an oufit and a book (which was kinda useless, but she loves the outfit at least). </p> <p>It was this, but with just one of the two dolls! <a href="http://www.americangirl.com/shop/bitty-twins/bitty-twins-doll-set-girl-girl-cml29" rel="nofollow">http://www.americangirl.com/shop/bitty-twins/bitty-twins-doll-set-girl-girl-cml29</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353723 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:36:57 +0000 peachykeen 2353723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: Do you mind if I ask roughly how much for one Bitty Twin? I'm interested in getting a baby for DD for Christmas, but none of the bitty babies look anything like her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353701 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:27:58 +0000 LovelyPlum 2353701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: yes to the crib! We got an Ikea doll bed for $20 or so that is perfect. G is obsessed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353696 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:26:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 2353696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 19 months and she looooves my old Bitty. A pro tip though: I had an outfit that came with shoes, and she is obsessed with putting them on and off. The only problem is that they don't fit over Bitty's sleeper. So get Bitty something to wear other than a sleeper to avoid the meltdowns!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353658 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:14:34 +0000 BandDmommy 2353658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: my daughter is getting one from my parents for her 1st birthday. It looks like a nice quality doll. Her birthday is Saturday so she hasn't had a chance to play with it her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353657 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:14:25 +0000 Mrs D 2353657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: Ours does too - unfortunately they have been sold out each time I have gone :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353656 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:13:09 +0000 BandDmommy 2353656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: glad to hear! My mom got D one for her bday and I was wondering if she was too young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353645 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:09:02 +0000 Pirouette 2353645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO LOOOOOVES her bitty baby! BUT, we took her to the store - since it's close by, and she was only 1.5 and we weren't sure if she'd be ready (and I didn't want to spend the $ if she didn't care about it). She absolutely went crazy over the store and picked her baby out herself. I had expected to get her the bitty baby, but she fell in love with one of the bitty twins because it has hair! so she has a bitty twin (just one) and the clothes are all the same as the bitty baby (interchangeable). I think she'll actually use it longer because it has hair, and that's fun for her. Baby goes everywhere she goes these days at almost 2.</p> <p>Also, we bought baby a little crib off amazon, and she sleeps next to LO at night. LO loves putting her to bed - the cribs at AG were ridiculous in price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353629 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:02:37 +0000 Smurfette 2353629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO got one last year, Today show had a deal on them, at 21 months. She plays with it, but she plays the most with her $10 Target baby doll. I think she likes it better cause it is smaller. But she likes the Bitty baby eyes close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353616 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:59:01 +0000 rattles 2353616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls both have one. The baby just plays with the eyes and drags it around, but my two year old loves it. She has one matching dress (she and the doll match) and one matching set of pjs that she loves to wear. She has some tea cups, plates and cupcakes we got as party favors at the AG cafe in chicago, but the rest of her doll stuff is more affordable, off brand, e.g. Target doll stroller and M&amp;D diaper bag kit. The dolls are well made, and when we had an issue with one eye sticking, their "hospital" fixed it and sent it back to her in a hospital gown and cap with a little card and certificate of wellness. So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353607 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:55:15 +0000 MamaBehr 2353607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Costco near me has a bitty baby and accessories for $100. (I think a few outfits)</p> <p>That's a great gift! The bitty babies are cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353595 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:52:03 +0000 twodoghouse 2353595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids received bitty twins for their first birthday and I thought it'd be a gift for the shelf for a while, we'd pull them out down the road. However, both LOs were immediately interested and loveeee their dolls. (Actually, they both prefer the boy doll, haha!) My LOs are 18 months now and DD loves carrying her doll around, wiping his face, feeding him snacks, etc. So I think 2 is a great age for a bitty baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353592 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:51:16 +0000 Mrs D 2353592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI...Costco has American Girl giftcards $100 for $80...so 20% off...</p> <p>We are getting DD a bitty baby for when baby #2 arrives in March - I think its a great idea. I am getting her the little diaper bag that goes with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-girl-bitty-baby#post-2353585 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:47:59 +0000 Chillybear 2353585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Starting my Christmas shopping early and trying to decide what we should get for our daughters "main" gift this year. I don't want to get anything big as we don't have a lot of space and we're hoping to list our home in the months following Christmas. One idea I had was a Bitty Baby doll from American Girl. She just turned 2 in Sept. Its in our budget to get the doll and maybe 1-2 small accessories. Good gift or am I crazy? go..... </p>
