MGA Chou Chou- Mommy Make Me Better Doll
Amazon.com Review
Zapf Creations lets little girls take pretend play to a whole new level with the Chou Chou Mommy, Make Me Better! doll. When this lifelike baby doll "cries" because she doesn't feel well, your child can soothe and take care of her with the included accessories, and she'll quickly get better and "laugh" to show it. This doll provides an outlet for creative, imaginative play for children ages 3 and older.

 The doll's cheeks glow red when she has a fever. |
Chou Chou only requires 3 AA batteries to get started. A Phillips screwdriver -- and a little bit of patience -- is needed to install the batteries in the doll's rather snug back compartment. Press the button on Chou Chou's back, and she'll start crying. Her cheeks will become red, showing she has a fever. Now, it's your child's job to make her feel better using one of many accessories.
Put the pacifier in the doll's mouth, and she'll stop crying; the same goes with the thermometer, which also shows the doll's "temperature." Her fever will persist, however, until your child gives Chou Chou her medicine. Hold the medicine spoon to her mouth, and she'll make drinking sounds. Eventually, her fever will go away, and she will even laugh to show it. Chou Chou also laughs if you press her tummy.
Chou Chou also has a "boo boo" on her arm (it's a red, heart-shaped decal). Your child can make the boo boo feel better with one of the three reusable, Velcro bandages. Or, if she holds the boo-boo in her hand for a while, it will fade.
Chou Chou also comes with a stethoscope. If your child holds it to Chou Chou's chest, she can hear her heart beating. Your child can also give Chou Chou a "shot" with the play vaccination needle. (This might be an especially beneficial pretend-play opportunity for children who are afraid of going to the doctor.)
Life-like Doll Makes For Versatile Pretend Play
We enjoyed Chou Chou's life-like qualities, especially her authentic cry and giggle. And even though Chou Chou is somewhat of a "high-tech" doll, we are delighted with her traditional baby-doll touches: long-lashed eyelids that open and close; a soft body with firm rubber hands, feet, and head; and cute, removable pajamas. These touches offer fun, versatile, imaginative play on their own, keeping her from being limited to the "take-care-of-me" functions.
Our child tester took to the doll -- and to her accessories -- right away. The "take-car-of-me" functions themselves were simple and straightforward to use -- it just took a little bit of prodding to activate the doll's cry. According to the instructions, the "boo boo" is supposed to disappear after only a few minutes, but we found that after more than five minutes our doll's boo-boo did fade, but not completely. Nevertheless, it didn't take away from our child's creative, imaginative experience with the Chou Chou.

My daughter loves this doll (2008-12-29)
My 3 year old daughter got this doll for Christmas & she really loves it. She has lots of baby dolls, but they don't do anything. Since she also has a doctor's kit & loves to nurse us, I figured it was a good toy for her interests.

My 3 year old grandaughter loves this baby. She loves putting bandaids on people's boo boos, pretending to take people's temperature, taking medicine when she has too, so this doll was perfect for her. She has so much fun taking care of this baby. The package should contain some kind of bag with it to put the pieces in.
Great doll (2008-12-29)
The doll is really cute and my daughter loves taking care of her. It is neat to see her cheeks light up when shes sick and they disappear when she gets her medicine. Great idea with the velcro bandaids too. This doll at least does something other than lie in her bed and leave things to my daughter's imagination. I was a little alarmed when I was reading the directions and saw the warning about small magnets and that these could possibly fatally injure a child if swallowed. I don't recall reading which accessories contained the magnets. (I might have missed)Hopefully everyone notes this and keeps them away from small children
My 3 year old loves this doll!! (2008-12-28)
Today we gave my girls this doll and Baby Annabel which is made by the same company. My 3 year old was terrified of Baby Annabel and said it was scary but she LOVES Mommy Make Me Better!! I think the doll is super cute! I am disappointed at how cheaply made the accessories are. The heart shaped thermometer and the spoon looks as if a tot could EASILY break them which is super dangerous because they both have magnets in them. They are very cheaply made. I don't trust leaving any of the accessories out with my 3 year old, what if she broke one or both of them and then the magnets, this could kill her. I think the company should have made these things sturdier and safer. The noises the doll makes are cute and not annoying. You have to push the dolls stomach to make it laugh and push its back to make it cry and for its cheeks to light up. My daughter loves making the baby better. One of the eyes closes more often then the other but the doll is still adorable! I highly recommend this doll but not for anyone under 3 unless you take away the accessories.
Very cute Baby (2008-12-27)
I bought this doll for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. The doll laughs and cries. When she cries, she will get red cheeks and you have to messure the temperature (included in the box). After that you can give the baby medicine and she will make little "sucking" sounds. A giggling laughter will tell you that she is feeling better. You can even hear her heartbeat and make her boo-boo on the arm dissappear. It is a great doll and I am happy I bought it. My daughter loves it and plays for hours with it.
