baby doll

Child's pretend infant

A baby doll is a doll designed to resemble an infant, typically used as a children's toy.

The term extends to a style of women's sleepwear—a short, loose nightgown with a fitted bodice, often trimmed with lace or ruffles: She wore a sheer baby doll to bed.

As a term of endearment, baby doll addresses someone affectionately, though it can sound dated or patronizing depending on context.
