I bought this for my daughter as shes 3 and just getting into dollys.We have bought other dolls in the past but they didnt seem to do very much and after seeing the adverts our daughter drove us nuts for one.I bought the doll off Amazon as they were the cheapest and it quickly arrived 2 days later.My daughter loves this doll and it does cry real tears.Ours does anyway.It states in the instructions to feed her water in the bottle provided and she will not cry every time, but only 1 in 3 times.To be honest its more like 1 in 20 times!My daughter takes great delight in making the doll cry just so she can see if cry real tears.The doll is the same as my friends baby Annabells dolls although this one does move where as the other ones just drink and move their face.Over all i think its a great little dolly for any little girl but i wish a decent toy didn't cost so much these days!
