What Happened to Carrying Baby Eggs?

A long, long, time ago, when I was in school, we were assigned baby-simulation projects that involved naming an egg, drawing a face on it, and carting it around for a few days without breaking it.

Nowadays...the babies are about as life-like as you can get without having an actual infant in your care.

The bgdailynews.com interviewed a class who will be using dolls made by a company called RealityWorks in a project to help them realize why they are nowhere near ready to have real babies.

These babies are smart. With a computer inside each of them, they record any neglect, improper head support, shaking, rough handling, diaper changes and feeding.

Said one of the male students:

“He’s been crying since I got him. He’s cried like four times.”

Welcome to parenthood...

Thanks so much for linking to the Realityworks web site! I have worked for Realityworks for more than 9 years and RealCare Baby II-plus is an amazing tool to teach infant care and parenting readiness, and to challenge young people especially to THINK before wanting to become teen parents. Baby is also used to evaluate caregivers, train parents-to-be on infant care skills, and much more.
