    LOL - thanks for the replies. Have been out all day and Annabell is still totally dry eyed, so just off to manhandle her over the sink while DD is asleep. Same here, she doesn't know that the tears are meant to come out so isn't bothered, but when you're paying £30 for a doll, you want it doing the works!!

    Edited to say that I've thumped her on the back, on the head, have bashed her face first into the floor. Absolutely not one tear in sight. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

    Any more tips?

    Danni, how exactly did you force feed her? I tried squirting extra water in during feeding but it all squirts out of her mouth again when you remove the bottle.

    We got that, then when she burped and fell asleep we yelled at her as loud as we could (scaring DD in the process- she's never heard us so loud). It just seemed to make it work. The site we got that suggestion from is http://www.us.zapf-creation.com/na/cons/ba_manual_extras.htm.

    I hope she starts crying for you ;)
