My girls have both Baby Born and Baby Alive and i refuse to buy the refill packets of food.
(yes, i know, Im a mean Mummy)
Ive already got baby born and baby alive using cloth nappies biggrin.gif

Does anyone know what to feed them, or a mixture to make up that they can eat? Without buying the mixtures?
Ive tried flour and water mixture it just made a gluey mixture which also stained the doll high chair.

Does Farex clog up the dolls though?
I actually remember feeding my dolls Farex when i was little but was unsure about giving it to baby alive/ baby born.
~mimo~
Maybe ring the customer service line for the dolls and say that the girls gave their dolls farex, and ask what that would do to the dolls?

i had baby alive and it was fine - we made it really runny though

Mine got thrown out though when my brother fed it milk and left it outside for a few days.
