Baby Alive Doll FAQs
The original Baby Alive doll was created in the 1970s. This was a doll that came with little pellets which were mixed with water.
When you fed the doll, you would use a lever in the back of the baby to make it chew the food. Then the food would travel through the doll and come out as plastic waste in the diaper.
These dolls grew in popularity, selling over a million dolls by 1980. Then in 1992 the first ever talking Baby Alive doll was created.
This doll no longer needed you to work a lever for her to eat. She did that automatically when you put the spoon in her mouth. Instead of using a diaper this doll would tell you that it had to go potty.
Consumers didn’t care for the loud adult sounding voice that came from the doll so it was discontinued.
