The 21-year-old reality star tragically lost her and husband Doug Hutchinson's baby last month, and on her therapist's advice, she has purchased a Reborn Baby - which retails between $150-$450 and have realistic features - to help her through the grieving process.
She shared a video on Instagram of herself receiving the doll and wrote: "Just received my reborn baby today! exciting i know it may seem a little strange but my therapist suggested that having him may help me cope with my loss. #rebornbaby (sic)"
In the video, Courtney unwrapped the package before lifting out the doll and cradling it.
She said in the clip: "Oh my gosh guys, he's so pretty. He's so beautiful, he looks like a baby."
Courtney shared a number of pictures of the doll, including one of it next to her dog, which she captioned "the babies".
Another image was of the doll's 'birth certificate', which had the name and date of birth sections left blank, but a weight of 5lbs 6oz and length of 20 inches listed, as well as that it came from Tiny Toe Angels nursery. .
Courtney - who was believed to have been around three months pregnant when she had her miscarriage - sported a pink wig in the video as she recently shaved her head as a "symbolic gesture".
She explained at the time: "Hi everyone, as you all know I recently suffered a miscarriage and it's had a huge impact on me emotionally.
"I've been thinking and I have decided that I want to give back to my angel with a symbolic gesture and that to me is shaving my hair off because I want to step into this new chapter into my life fresh and new."
