Interracial child, what skin tone do I buy?

Question

My daughter will be half white and half Indian (Gujarat) here daddy is medium to almost dark for an Indian. I imagine our daughter is going to look like him since we both have dark hair, and eyes, and big lips lol fingers crossed she has doe eyes like him 😍 anyways I’ve been thinking... 
Where in the hell do I find a “tanned” baby doll? I’ve seen “Asian” which she’s technically half Asian since her dad is Indian but that’s the stereotypical “Asian” baby doll, I’ve seen baby dolls with African skin but like I’ve seen NO baby dolls or barbies with tanned skin or even Indian Barbie dolls...  
I know kids can play with whatever but I think it would be really special to have a doll that looks like her. Maybe I’m just overthinking all of this... 
I’m Hispanic and German but I’ve always had fair skin, dark hair and eyes so I very easily got an American Girl doll, baby dolls and babies to play with that looked like me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I did like playing with all the dolls but I don’t know I think I’m over thinking all of this 😭 I feel like it’s my obligation as her mom to help her feel like she fits in, especially since Indians typically stick to their own race. I’m scared she will have a hard time fitting in with other Indian and white children 😭

Answer

Idk about the doll but lemme just say, genes are a trip especially with interracial people. My SO is Mexican, has dark skin and eyes/hair. I also have dark eyes and hair. Our son is blonde haired and blue eyed and white asf.

Answer

Answer

You can customize wee baby stella’s on their site if you want. 
Also this is a little stereotypical, but it’s what I was able to find on Amazon searching Indian baby doll. I’d also try hispanic or black baby doll because they just kinda throw random ones into those searches. (We’ve been looking for one for our biracial son)

Answer

As a half-white/half-Asian little girl, I had a blonde hair blue eyed baby doll and a lightly tanned, black hair, brown eyed baby doll. While she’s young she probably won’t notice or care. I played with both, but I liked the blonde doll because it had long hair. Does American girl still make custom dolls? I remember looking through their catalogue where you could pick out the dolls features.

Answer

My SO is half Mexican and half white but ended up with blonde hair and blue eyes but his siblings are all dark skin dark hair dark eyes like me (I’m Mexican) so it’s really hard to say what your baby will turn out like! I’d say wait til she’s born to see then go to one of the sites where you can build a custom doll!

Answer

We have bought the whole array of dolls for our girls, but I try to stick between the medium brown to tan white dolls because they look most like my daughters. It can be really hard sometimes because my girls want dolls that look just like them and I have been pushing my oldest daughter to love herself because she wants long straight hair and doesn’t understand why hers is not like that. We made some gains this year as she let me cut off her hair and go completely short kinky and natural for her. She still wants me to flat iron it at times when it grows back out, but right now she is letting it be just how she was made, my perfect little girl. I stress the importance of getting dolls that look as close to ur baby as possible. My 9 year old struggles with her identity and feels like she doesn’t fit in at times. We have to stress self love in my house for my girls with our very different skin complexions and hair textures. Society tells them a certain look is “pretty” so we must show them that they are pretty and they are beautiful, not just what society says.
