Baby Giggles
Baby Giggles came out after Giggles and has a much better mechanism for initiating the giggling sound. Instead of clapping her hands, all you need to do is raise her arm. Both dolls have the same basic failure problem. The membrane deteriorated and needed to be replaced. We used a section of a latex glove. We originally tried a piece of plastic bag but it did not have the elasticity to create a good giggle.

Here is the reason why the doll no longer giggles. The rubber diaphragm has completely disintegrated. To fix it, pop off the grille and clean out all the residual rubber. Acquire a latex glove and cut a piece that will fit the old location. Reassemble the diaphragm making sure that the latex piece is taut.
