Our New Baby was the predecessor to Bitty Baby.
History
Our New Baby was released in 1990 and available in Caucasian (with blond hair), African-American, and Asian-American. The dolls were marketed as a way to get children to adjust to having a young baby in the house. The dolls were gender neutral, unlike the later Bitty Baby; it was expected that the doll could be a younger boy or girl.
Each doll came with a book titled Our New Baby, a pop-up activity book with a baby that matched the doll it was sold with.
Doll
Each Our New Baby Doll came dressed in a white cotton sleeper with a small pink and blue heart print. The sleeper was trimmed at the neck with lace and closed in front with a zipper. The baby also came with a matching undershirt and cloth diaper.
Clothing and Accessories
As Our New Baby was marketed as being a baby that could be either gender, clothing choices for the dolls reflected this. Each outfit was available in both "boy" and "girl" styles.

Little Bunny
A small stuffed toy bunny called Little Bunny was available as a separate purchase for Our New Baby. This was possibly the precursor to Bitty Bear; however, Little Bunny was not a character in its own right and was much more of a toy.
Children's Clothing
Children's clothing to match Our New Baby's clothing was released for both children and young infants.
