our new baby or bitty?

[GreyMyst]

What are the differances between the our new baby and bitty baby? Like is there anything I can look at to tell the differance in a picture?

Specifically relating to the AA and hispanic ones. Did the AA Our New Baby have the texurized hair? (I LOVE that hair)

Our New Baby is just the name that they called Bitty Baby before she was "Bitty Baby." There is no difference except the "Our New Baby" is older. If I were buying a doll for a child now I would just by new, If you buy an older doll it would be more for collecting not playing. If by chance you had to send "Our New Baby" into the doll hospital they might just give you a new one because none of the colors would match. And then you wouldn't have your first doll back. Our "Bitty Baby" went to the hospital alot the first year and she does not have any tags. I think its the original head but I never looked back then.

Our New Baby's definitely have different lashes. As far as I know, they were the softer matching lashes, like PM dolls. That and a different book, but that's all I know.

My Sarah is the blonde Our New Baby, and she does have softer lashes. She also looks like she has a "softer" face. I know that sounds weird, but it looks more toner down than the newer ones. Her eyes are lighter than the newer ones, too. My cousin got her Bitty in 2000, and her eyes looked darker than Sarah's. I also have the 1st Ed. AA Bitty, and her eyelashes are definitely not as soft as Sarah's. Megan, my AA Bitty, does have textured hair, and I think the Our New Baby does, too.

There is one difference that hasn't been mentioned yet. ONB dolls (and some very early bittys) were sewn with their arms in a different position. When you lay baby on her back her little hands rest palms up near her ears like she wants you to pick her up. Newer bitty arms are more at her sides instead.

Blonde ONBs had blonde eyelashes.

Hope this helps!
