I’ve mentioned before that Olivia loves her Baby Annabell dolls. We’ve previously reviewed their products (Baby Annabell, Baby Annabell Brother, Sophia So Soft, baby rocker and baby travel seat (and outfit set). We have always been impressed with the products so when offered a Baby Annabell bundle to review, I just had to say yes for Olivia.
She has always been obsessed with her babies and dolls but this has recently stepped up a notch. She has been playing ‘Mummy and baby’ a lot more often than normal and her imaginative play is getting more and more advanced.
We were sent Baby Annabell Milly Feels Better {affiliate link} which retails for around £35 and the Baby Annabell Hospital {affiliate link} which retails for around £40 to review.
The Baby Annabell Milly Feels Better is much like the other Baby Annabell babies and dolls. Light enough for a child to hold but weighty enough to feel like a real baby. 43cm in length, Milly comes with five doctor accessories – a thermometer, a syringe, a stethoscope, a medicine spoon and medicine bottle.
Milly is very interactive with her cheeks turning red when she needs attention. If she needs medicine, just put the medicine spoon near her mouth and she’ll instantly start to brighten up. She will close her eyes and sleep when laying down and also laughs if you tickle her. Her arms and legs also move!
As you can see, Olivia is absolutely enamoured with her and has barely put her down since she arrived. She was ever so happy when we opened the hospital too so she could treat Milly even better!
What I love about this is the way it is stored – the bed is folded away and upon opening, you remove the bit of cardboard which was there for protection. The hospital has such a cute design – the pink colours and the cute lambs that you come to expect from various products in the Baby Annabell range.
The hospital not only comes down with a fold down bed but also comes a thermometer, stethoscope, injection and bandages plus a blanket and pillow for the patient. Since we received Milly as well, we now do have a couple of duplicates in the form of medical accessories but if you were buying separately, of course, you wouldn’t have doubles of these.
Olivia has spent a lot of time tending to her ‘baby’ and checking she is feeling okay! We’ve all been shushed at various points for being too loud and potentially waking her baby up – she’s a very stern and assertive nurse!
Olivia has absolutely loved the hospital – she’s not only had Milly staying but her other dolls and babies too and I’ve even caught her trying to settle down in the bed once or twice – even though she’s far too big!
If you know a little one who loves Baby Annabell products, then these may just be worth picking up for Christmas. Olivia adores hers and plays with them constantly. Why not gift them to someone you love?
What a lovely doll. I love the hospital theme, this encourages children to look after her, and encourages empathy too. You can see Olivia adores her.
Oh how wonderful! My friend’s daughter has spent a lot of time in hospital over the past 2 years so I’m going to recommend this to her!
I am sure I had a Baby Annabell when I was kid, it looks like Olivia really loves this set and what a great way to bring in play as well with it being a hospital kit.
My daughter would have loved this! She was always playing games with her dolls and also had a little medical kit so she loved to play doctors.
Erin is mad about playing doctors. She would really love this!
My youngest daughter loves the Baby Annabell range, she has the Milly Feels Better doll, however, I’ll have to look out for the hospital for her as I think she’d love it
Gosh I would have loved this as a kid. I was always pretending to be a doctor or nurse when I was a kid so this would have been a dream for me!
My daughter would love this! She’s added “a baby” to her Christmas list this year!
We have the baby born doll at home but my daughter has been asking for a baby Annabelle one for a while now. They’re just more life like and your review might have just persuaded me to get one.
I remember when these first came out, I always wanted one as a little girl xxx
What a lovely set. Eliza had an older version of this and is now determined she wants to be a doctor when she grows up
