Mermaid and Merboy doll The Millet Baby is covered in a cotton knit material and filled
with baked millet, giving it a satisfying weight
of about 4 lbs. (2 lbs. for younger children). I add an essential oil inside, usually lavender, so it smells delicious too.
Children often connect deeply to the Millet Doll because it
has the weight of a real child.
Because the Millet Doll is so grounding, it is often used in therapeutic settings to help children feel more connected,
focused and present. It’s sweet to see a child claim the doll as “their baby.”
