A good doll for DD to get from....

[newg]

her new baby sister???

I was thinking of getting DD a doll that will be given to her by her new baby sister when we come home from the hospital. She already has an abby doll from PBK (that she sleeps with) and a Bitty Baby from the American Girls (which is too old for her and I'm thinking of putting it up for a few years).

I'm looking for one that would allow DD to imitate me as I feed/bathe/clothe her new sister; so I'd like to get her one that she could possibly give a bottle/paci to and maybe even machiene washable (so I can keep it a germ free as possible!)?? Does such a doll exsist?
The Bitty Baby doll is too big for her, so I'm thinking one of those cute corelle or FP dolls would be the right size?
Any other brands, or specific kinds I should be looking at??

Thanks!!

corelle tidoo is a great size. it can go into the bath or washer and has a bottle/thumb shaped mouth.

nak-
I was going to suggest a bath baby. DD's bath baby is from Kathe Kruse.

where can I get a corolle doll? Do they sell them at TRU or another major chain store??

Baby Stella (http://www.manhattantoy.com/category/242652/Nurturing_DollsBaby_Stella) by Manhatten Baby might be good. It comes with a paci but has a feeding set that has a bottle and a diapering set as well. There is a magnent in the mouth so the paci and bottle stick to the mouth. We bought on for DD2's first birthday. It is really very sweet.

ETA- There is more clothing for the doll than is shown on the website.

Our Learning Express carries them. Amazon also has a pretty decent selection.

Of course our Learning Express just closed............

I checked their site and I think there is a toy store about 30min. from me that carries them. I signed up for coupons, so hopefully I'll get one in the next month and can head down there to shop (with out DD)!

Thanks for all of the tips!!
