Daddy Dolls & Flat Daddies - Kids Coping with Deployment

FCWifey05 · 02-27-2009, 04:53 PM

I was wondering if anyone had either one of these and your thoughts/opinions on them. My hubby is going on deployment later this year and I am trying to figure out which I want to get.

DD has a Remember Me Pillow from Ste9 on this site, it's the same concept of the Daddy Doll. She really likes it. She sleeps with it every night. I will get a picture of her with it.

DD with her Remember Me Pillow. These are much MUCH cheaper then the "official" Daddy Doll.

We have both.. my kids are a bit older and they prefered the flat daddy. They rarely used thier daddy dolls.
But the flat daddy got lots of use out it and was quite the conversation piece..lol

We have a Daddy Doll and LOVE it. DD loves to snuggle with it when she sleeps. We've had it since she was 15 months. This thing is durable! I have the one wiht the voice recorder which is great. I'm a huge fan of Daddy Dolls (particularly since the company is owned by military spouses and they only employ military affiliated people). I don't think $35 is too much to ask for a custom made doll where they do all the background editing for the picture, create the doll, and give you a voice recorder. If I'd got a cheaper one, I bet I'd be on my second by now. I like that it is so durable. Makes it consistant for DD. No peeling faces, etc.

Is a Daddy doll the same as a military Build A Bear? If so, my son is 14 months and he has no interest in it. He actually is kind of abusive to it, but I think he's just too young.

My friend got a flat daddy for her kids. It was life sized and super cool.

Nevermind, I just googled it.

We had the flat daddy and it was great! My DD loved it and it went with us pretty much everywhere in the house. He "sat" at the dinner table with us, or he "watched" tv, and he was even at the hospital when I had DS.
