This is the most common image of a new-born baby. According to a Russian belief, evil spirits were always looking for a chance to harm a helpless infant, so this traditional doll was laid into the cradle to mislead the spirits, keeping the baby safe. When the guests would come to see a newborn and give their presents, it was a common custom to praise the doll in the cradle, and not the baby - not to put an evil eye on it, even unconsciously.
This traditional cloth doll is also a talisman for those women who are trying to conceive. Just put it into your purse, talk to it and hold it, and the doll will do its part.
