I've raised children and nannied some, and have never seen this behavior. I have always been supportive of wherever their imaginations take them. No judgement. I expect she'll eventually lose interest. But it is pretty weird when she pretends to be in labor and hugs her belly so lovingly. Her older sibs probably told her about watching their mom get bigger and bigger with her inside. I believe she's working through how strange it is to think of being inside her mom's body. I'll stop worrying, and just tell her it's great her dolls are having babies of their own. Thanks so much for responding.
