* In the TV movie ''Film/MillionDollarBabies'', about the Dionne quintuplets, the producers used animatronic dolls for the newborn quints. Using older babies to represent the newborn Dionne girls, who were two months premature, and small for that, would have been ridiculous, and defeatist as well, since it's a major portion of the first half-hour of the film that the girls are tiny, premature, and not expected to live. In addition to that, finding five babies who looked like would be difficult. Obviously, using real, underweight newborns or preemies was out of the question. The film was made before CGI was an option.

* Played weirdly straight in the WebAnimation/HomestarRunner fanfic [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/48589501?view_full_work=true It's a Matter of Time!]]. In the final chapter, [[spoiler: Marzipan gives birth to her baby]], which has a full head of hair already put into pigtails and a [[PrenatalPossesions miniature version of Homestar's hat.]]

* Either TV Land or Nick-at-Nite once ran a commercial that lampshaded the entire TV-birth process, including this trope. It went something like this:

* ''Series/Sense8'': Averted in "What Is Human?" during a montage showing the births of the main cast [[spoiler:and Riley giving birth to her own daughter]]. All of the babies are small, wrinkly and covered in blood. The crew mostly used footage of actual births for the sequence resulting in realistically-sized newborns.
