To Insert Batteries

Use a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to loosen the screw on the battery compartment door (the screw remains attached to the door). Remove the door and insert 3 x 1.5V "AA" or LR6 size alkaline batteries. Replace the door and tighten the screw.

Hey! I'm Furby Baby™! Be sure to take good care of me by following the instructions in this booklet!

Getting Started

To activate, slide the [on-off-switch] to "ON". I may move my legs. I'll then open my eyes and make noises or say, "Feed me!"

Furby Baby has 2 sensors:

Tummy Sensor

Activate by touching lightly with the pads of your fingers.

Mouth Sensor

Activate by inserting the bottle (or your finger).

Waking and Feeding Baby

When I say, "Feed me", insert the bottle into my mouth. You may even hear me "chewing" on the bottle. After feeding and stretching, I may make uncomfortable sounds or say, "Me no feel good", meaning I need to be burped. Touch my tummy once and I'll “relieve” myself.

  • If my mouth is open, I probably need to be fed more.
  • If I'm asleep, wake me up by feeding me.
  • If you don't feed me when I ask you to, or burp me when needed, I'll go back to sleep.

Playing With Baby

When I'm stretched out, fed and comfortable, I'm ready to play with you.

Touch my tummy and I'll say random phrases – including some in FURBISH®! I might even sing. Don't forget to feed and/or burp me when I need it.

  • If I say, "Me sleepy", hold my tummy for 2 seconds and I'll go to sleep.
  • If I say, "Tickle me", touch my tummy and I'll laugh.
  • If you leave me alone, I'll say a few more phrases, then go to sleep.

Furby Baby™ and Furby® Interaction

I can talk with a big Furby! Press Furby's tummy for a few seconds until he blinks. Then touch my tummy for a few seconds until I blink. Then quickly hold Furby and me close together so our tummies touch. Furby will say "Hey wah" and then we'll start talking to each other.

Furby Dialogue

When I say: Furby will say one of these phrases:
Mama doo? Hey, kah ay-ay bay-bee (Hey, me see baby) [then giggles]
Kah may-may oo-nye bay-bee (Me love you, baby)
Kah wee-tee bay-bee (Me sing baby) [then sings]
Dada doo? Hey, kah ay-ay bay-bee (Hey, me see baby) [then giggles]
Kah may-may oo-nye bay-bee (Me love you, baby)
Kah wee-tee bay-bee (Me sing baby) [then sings]
Bay-bee mee-mee ay-tay Hey! Doo-moh ah-tah bay-bee (Hey, please feed baby)
Bay-bee boo noo-loo Ay-ay bay-bee kah doo-loo (Look baby, me funny) [then dances]
Bay-bee mee-mee way-loh or Me sleepy Kah wee-tee bay-bee (Me sing baby) [then sings]

If Furby doesn't "hear" one of my 6 phrases within 30 seconds, repeat the process again.

Important Note

If Furby Baby does not respond properly:

  • Make sure that your hand holding Furby Baby is not too close to the tummy sensor.
  • Slide the [on-off-switch] to OFF, then back to ON.
  • Replace the batteries.

Cleaning Instructions

To clean Furby Baby, gently brush fur with a cloth or soft brush to loosen any dirt. Then use a slightly damp cloth to remove stains.

  • Do not put in the washing machine.
  • Do not submerge in water.
  • Do not use detergent or stain removers on fur.
  • Do not get wet; to remove stains use only a slightly damp cloth on the fur.
  • To prevent staining fur, wipe off dirt immediately.
  • If toy gets wet, remove batteries and dry the fur; once fur is completely dry, replace batteries.
  • Avoid spilling food or beverages on the toy.
  • Do not throw or kick the toy, and do not push sharp objects through the speaker openings.
  • Do not leave toy in direct sunlight; high temperatures will destroy the mechanism.
