Sophie the Giraffe

La OliviaLa Olivia member
in April 2013 Moms

I was thinking about buying Sophie for L. Those of you that have it, do your LOs still use it at this age? He doesn't have any teeth, so we have a lot of teething left to do. Is it really better than other cheaper teethers?

    Honestly my guy could take it or leave it, he prefers softer stuff like blankets and my bathrobe right now.  He got his first tooth Sunday.  The dogs are super interested in good ol sophie though ;) she squeaks.

    We have it. Really not that exciting. I wouldn't spend the $ on it.

    My older son was downright obsessed with it. We got another one so that we always had one on hand. And he only started liking it at 6 months. My LO is less into it but still likes it.

    My kids all loved it especially when teething.  We found a coupon before we bought it so it made the price a little easier to swallow.

    Alex started to take an interest in it when he turned 6 months old. He will chew on that thing forever! Before 6 months, no interest at all.

    Personally, I think $23 for a teether is ridiculous! My LO would rather gnaw on my fingers.

    We got it for my older DS and he could take it or leave it. My DD is obsessed with sucking and has to have something in her mouth all the time and she loves it.

    SIL gave Connor a package with two Sophies in it... one rubber the other is soft and jingles. He loves both of them and plays with them every day. Soft Sophie needs a bath though, her feet and ears/horn are getting really grungy. She looks like a dog toy now.

    I probably would not spend the money on it myself,maybe because I never heard of her before SIL told me she was like crack for babies.

    We got them as a gift. I never would spend the money. He loves to chew on it but he will chew on anything I give him. I like that its a teether on the go that doesn't have to be frozen but I'm sure you could find something similar if you don't want to spend the money.

    We have the smaller vanilla Sophie teether: https://www.amazon.com/Vulli-Sophie-Giraffe-Vanilla-Teether/dp/B0038JDAJ8/ref=pd_cp_ba_2

    DD1 and DD2 have both loved it and bonus- there's no squeaker!

    Ava had zero interest in Sophie. Mila loves both the giraffe and the teething ring.

    We got it as a gift becuase no way would I spend almost $30 on a chew toy.
    That said -- J used to be totally indifferent to it, but now he LOVES it.

    We have the one that jingles too and she is usually way more interested in that one

    I feel like Sophie is a glorified dog toy. I know all babies are differeent but Ava doesn't care about it at all. She is downright possessive of her little toothbrush thing though.

    My daughter likes it. I would also suggest an amber necklace. Same like Sophie, they are hit or miss. I misplaced hers last night and my husband (who usually finds crap I misplace from Mom scatterbrain) is gone for the next 3 weeks (thanks Army). I really might go buy another one tomorrow.

    We got a Sophie as a gift and LO loves it- but I only let her play with it on the changing table when either DH and I are with her. For all of the great reviews, there were also some reports of babies getting one of the legs stuck in their throat. Watch those kiddos with Sophie! Baby girl does love chewing those ears, though-- And throwing it behind the changing table.

    Vince loves Sophie, he still has no teeth and probably will continue not to for a long while due to downs.
