Today's doll is a very tiny one.
She's a Liddle Kiddle.
To be specific, she's a Liddle Baby Kiddle. Her name is Baby Teeter Time. She was made in 1969.

| This is her original outfit and bonnet/ |

| Her bonnet seems to be glued to her head,and it looks like there's no hair underneath it. The only hair she has is what sticks out from under the bonnet in the front. |
She has nothing on under her nightgown or dress. Whatever it is.
Her name is derived from the accessory that came with her, a yellow duck teeter ride on.
I would have called it a rocker,but apparently somebody at Mattel said it was a teeter totter.
That's the tiny doll for today. See you again tomorrow for another doll.
I think those long, white dresses with white bonnets for babies were typically referred to as 'christening gowns' at the time this doll was made. However I'm pretty sure that that name fell out of favor, and might no longer be considered politically correct thanks to the religious associations.

They were when this doll was made,but it could have just been a hearkening back to the early decades of the 20th century,and before, when people just dressed babies in long gowns with matching bonnets.
