Wellcome to the Gledita breastfeeding demo doll order page!
If you have not met the Gledita demo dolls yet, I suggest you first read the Basic informations about dolls!
The Gledita breastfeeding demo dolls are wonderful custom helpers for nurses, midwives, lactacion consultants.
The Gledita breastfeeding demo doll has open mouth and flexible neck. So, you can demonstrate how the head has to tilt back for a good alignment and latch.
This type of Gledita demo dolls was developed in April 2018.
The dolls are comfortable, not hard like plastic dolls.
Every Gledita doll is made for custom order. Sometimes I make Ready-To-Go dolls (dolls who want a new Mommy), they can be found in the Ready-To-Go Gledita Dolls Page. Check it out!
I made a video about the first Gledita breastfeeding demo dolls. It shows the shape and moving of the Gledita demo doll, the positions of the breastfeeding, the optional little crocheted pacifier and the knitted breast model. They are available for breastfeeding demo dolls.
More photos in the Gledita Flickr Albums!
If you order a little crocheted pacifier for the breastfeeding demo doll, I will sew a tiny but strong magnet into the throat of the doll. The pacifier is ONLY a design element, I don’t recommend to use (or don’t use) pacifiers for babies. If you order pacifier, I will talk to you about the colors.
You can order hand knitted breast model for your work. I fill it with siliconised poliester. Watch the video about using breast model. If you order breast model, I will talk to you about the color.
I make breastfeeding demo dolls in one size:
- 50-54 cm tall (1,5-1,8 kg) with straight limbs.
Is it possible to order breastfeeding demo doll combined with birthing baby demo doll (45 cm). Look at the other page!
I weighted them with three material: millet,plastic granule or tiny glass beads. The remaining places I fill with siliconised polyester fiber and some places wool. It is very important to read about materials, structure, etc.. more information here… before choose filling!
The elbows and the knees are moving.
The breastfeeding demo doll has flexibile neck. There are no wires in his head and neck that make it stiff.
You can order your doll with a new option: Turn-and-tilt head. It is optional. It was developed in 2021:
The video shows a breastfeeding demo doll, the turn-and-tilt head movement is clearly visible.
What you need to know about ordering:
Every filling have a price that includes a simple doll without additional design elements (extras).
Simple doll: bald head, without hair, no detailed fingers and toes, without round bottom, no boy part and no ears, natural colour skin.
The simple doll knows everything even without accessories, and it is fully capable of working with its “Mommy”. The doll’s head is made with the base of waldorf doll technique. The doll’s face is sculpted with a needle-felting technique and is hand emroidered.
If you want, you can order extras, design elements for your demo doll:
The “extras”: detailed fingers and toes, hair, round bottom, ears, boy part. If you want a chocolate-colored or mediterran-colored doll, they come with additional charge. (These photos are not made from the breastfeeding demo dolls)
New extra: Separated fingers and detailed toes. Fingers with wire…
Extra: Tongue in the demo doll’s mouth.
Removable tongue fixed with a strong magnet. It makes the doll’s face more lifelike and helps show the role of the tongue in the breastfeeding process.
Extra: Umbilcal stump – 5-6 cm long, with white blood wessels inside
The price is depends on the filling and extras.
