EXCLUSIVE: It’s reported that Katie Price has turned to reborn babies, posting about her “twins” online. Sabrina Mckenna, 44, knows only too well how they can help...
Reborn babies are becoming increasingly popular among Brits, with some spending up to £20,000 on realistic dolls which they care for as if they were actual newborns. Here, OK! hears Sabrina Mckenna's story about purchasing incredibly lifelike dolls.
Like many women, I turned to reborn babies after a devastating loss. In 2011 I found out I was pregnant with Jamie – a much-wanted baby. But at my 32-week scan, they found out he no longer had a heartbeat. I can never describe the agony of hearing those words. In June 2012, I went through an excruciating 12-hour labour and gave birth to my baby boy – he looked utterly perfect. But I never got to take him home or be his mum.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve bought and sold around 15 dolls. It’s hard to explain why, other than I’ll see a new one and fall in love with the photograph and long to have that one – but I need to raise the money by selling an old one. Having said that, the three I’ve got now I can never imagine parting with.
I don’t have any other luxuries, I never have my nails or hair done. I don’t smoke or drink. And they help me so much mentally. Particularly when I suffered another devastating loss in 2017 when I was in another relationship and fell pregnant, losing my baby at six weeks. At Christmas I spend about £40 on each of them. I particularly like buying them little hats or blankets with their name on. When they’ve worn an outfit a few times, I donate it to a charity shop and buy something new.
