Nofia, I have gven allof my sons a baby dol when they became a big brother.
I have on daughter- the oldest, and four sons.

The last time, when my fifth was born, the three and a half year old said
"yuck I don't play with dolls".   I explained to him that this wasn't just a
doll, it was his baby.  He accepted that and after stripping the doll of all
of its clothes and wrapping it in a towel he dragged his "baby" everywhere-
ever the proud papa!
