Around here - - we’re staying with the story that the baby died of SIDS. But, with you - my blogging friends . . . I’ll make the confession and hope it stays within these walls.
The real story is . . . . . it’s batteries ran out.
So much for an effective program. Good intentions and all - - but it doesn’t work if they send a baby home with 1/4 of the battery power.
Pfft!

Heheh. I think your diagnosis is absolutely right. (And I speak as a parent who has had a real SIDS experience.)

This doll… Is a trick. But possibly a good one. I took this thing home in 8th grade… And my grandmother got sick of it crying and drop kicked it down the stairs. Of course she wrote a letter apologizing profusely and they gave me a second chance. I did fine, but it drove me insane and I swore off sex and babies for years lol.
Now that I am 22 years old and expecting my 2nd baby in just a month, I realize how overdone that doll was. My daughter cried here and there, but she was a pretty good baby and nothing near as horrible as that doll! My husband totally agrees!
BTW, they make them rechargeable now! You plug a charger into the dolls back and the wall. lol. So realistic!

Just in case one is interested. The Baby Think It Over Simulator are being listed on Ebay. I have three of them, 2 Boys and 1 Girl. They are so so real, just received the control unit today so now I can program them and see how much fun it really is. These are the Generation 6 versions, the model just before the new ones came out that are now wireless. Oh boy…. now Bluetooth has been made into the Baby Think It Over. The 3 three that I have were really in excellent condition, they were used in a Girl Scout Baby Think It Over parenting program, they look brand new. They even smell like a real infant too.

One other item when you search on Ebay for the Baby Think It Over simulators put “Baby Think It Over” in the search area, then you will get all items for Baby Think It Over.

I found your blog via a Google Search tonight and enjoyed reading about Layla. It sounds like the SIDS was maybe a blessing in disguise. LOL
These babies have always intrigued me and I feel that it is a very worthwhile program. Regrettably, it is one that our school does not offer.
I was able to find the dolls for sale this evening and ordered one as a birthday present for myself (I make, design and collect dolls). Hopefully, this is a purchase that I won’t regret. The baby will be reborned and eventually will be up at my website if you’d like to take a peek.
Here’s a couple links to purchase various types of these automated dolls:
