What possesses grown women to spend hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of pounds on a doll?
My Fake Baby explores the world of 'reborns' - lifelike baby dolls - and the women who buy them, delving into an extraordinary pursuit that, although bizarre to some, brings great rewards to the women involved. Some of the dolls have beating hearts, others have tiny veins and even milk spots. Loved like real babies, they're taken for walks, cuddled and even have their nappies changed.
Doll designer Jaime - a mother of four - fulfils the dreams of other women by engineering babies to their specifications in her front room. Adoptive 'mums' include women with grown-up children, grandmothers living away from their grandchildren and women who have left it too late to have their own babies.
