Baby Alive was a child's doll created in the 1970s by Kenner to teach children about caring for babies. The first dolls were designed to move their mouths when fed powered doll food and water, eventually soiling their diapers. Their diapers would need to be changed to prevent leakage and mold growth.

Dolls are important to children between the ages of 1 and 2, as they help them to act out their experiences in pretend play.

Although younger infants can interact with age-appropriate playthings, such as by shaking a rattle, it isn't until after 6 months that babies really start to play with toys in the more conventional sense of the word - knocking over blocks, rolling a ball or snuggling with a teddy bear, for example.

But the months of painstaking manual labor required to achieve a lifelike doll are what account for most of that price. And with added features such as animatronics and artificial intelligence, the possibilities are endless.
