If you have a Reborn doll without a bottle, you can improvise. However, these suggestions are for a basic bottle; there is no formula and they are not suitable for direct feeding.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Simple Bottle
-
1Fill a plain plastic doll feeding bottle with warm water. Pour a few tablespoons of flour into the bottle.
-
2It will clump together. Use a butter knife to push the flour down into the water. Put the little nipple part on the bottle.Advertisement
-
3Shake it up and you've got a very basic baby bottle.

2Select a doll feeding bottle and undo the lid.

QuestionWhat is a bottle divider?Community AnswerA bottle divider comes in many NUK bottles, so for real babies, you can place the formula in the nipple and water in the bottle. Or you can use this to keep the "formula" out of the nipple for reborns. There is a greater chance of leaking with a bottle divider, and it is not as realistic. I prefer to seal my bottles with silicone glue; you can purchase this at Wal-Mart for about $4-6.

QuestionHow do I seal a bottle for my Reborn?Community AnswerTo seal a bottle, use some silicone glue (found at any craft store or your local home store). Start by turning the teat inside out and use the glue to seal all the pores (nipple and colic valves.) Let it dry and replace it on the bottle.

Warnings
