I bought this doll for my 7 year old who wanted a doll that talked. We all love this doll. She is very sweet. The sound of her voice is soft not annoying & loud like a lot of other dolls. She recongnizes her voice when my daughter says it, she knows when she has her bottle, bear, or blanket in her hands and responds accordingly. She sighs, burps, and murmurs as she’s falling asleep. Just a sweet little doll. I highly reccomend it!
