Sophie la girafe, Fresh Touch | Handcrafted for 60 Years in France | Natural Rubber | Designed for Teething Babies | Awaken All 5 Senses | Easy to Clean

Baby loves it. Chewy and soft.

This chew toy is perfect for that little hand. Silicon safe as a chew toy. So cute!

If my 6 month old twins could speak words... Well, they would be too busy chewing on their Sophies to tell you to just get the toy. Once my twins hit the "I want to taste test ALL the things" stage, it was time to get Sophie (I had already read about how great the toy was).The baby safe chew toy is worth it (and I had to get 2)--my mom even told me to write a review because of how the boys get great use of Sophie. My boys are entertained gumming on Sophie and she will make noise as they gum her due to the material she is made of (separate from her squeaker). They can grab different parts of Sophie to pick her up which was helpful when they were still working on their grasp. Sophie comes on trips out and about instead of pacis because one of my boys will take a paci and the other will not.

So soft, cute, and my 8 month old LOVES it. I bought it for her when she was a little over 6 months old, and it's by far her favorite toy. It's great for teething, the squeak is cute and makes her laugh, the rubber is made of great quality. Just make sure you know how to clean Sophie properly!! I didn't read the instructions first and washed her under slow running water, doing my best to not get the squeak hole, but it inevitably got a little water in it and the squeaker stopped working. I was so sad, especially because of how expensive this baby toy is! But after shaking Sophie around A LOT and pushing the squeaker around, it started working again. Now, I just take a wet wipe or slightly damp wash cloth and clean her that way. I thought this was always just some trendy toy that fancy mom's bought, but I decided to cave in and give it a try for my second kid out of curiosity. I really wish I had this for my first!

Mrs. J. Ward here: I didn't realize the reputation that accompanied." Sophie la Ggiraf" until my daughter-in-law opened the gift at her shower and it received "oohs and aahs" from the ladies present. One called out, "Oh, is that Sophie?" Wow! I didn't know. Neat gift!

I was super hesitant to spend $25 on a teething toy. It’s honestly just a regular squeaky toy but the other reviews were spot on and my child absolutely LOVES his Sophie. Something about that rubbery smiley giraffe is just so darn appealing to babies. She is without a doubt one of his very favorite toys, especially once he started teething.

Sophie was recommended by a lot of youtube moms doing 3-6 month baby must haves videos. The price seemed to be really high for a teether, so I hesitated at first. After he showed no interest in our oreo shapped teether I figured we would give it a try.And I am glad we did! This teether/toy is really easy for little ones to grab at and hold. Our son loves chewing on Sophie's head and can easily grab the teether by her neck.The many different parts (head, neck, four legs) are what make it easy for an infant, just learning to grab, be able to grab, hold and pull up toward their mouth.He also love the squeaker. It really grabs his attention and encourages him to grab her and play with her. The toy does seem to bring him some relief while teething. He used to just chew on his hands, so we are happy we have found something to help keep his hands clean.It also seems pretty simple to clean/wipe down and it stands up on his own. I only gave four stars in the cleaning scale since the inside of the teether can get dirty and there is no way to open it up and clean it.The overall four star rating is because the little manual says to try not to get the squeaker wet, which seems impossible when a teething baby drools all over the teether and then it is bound to get wet when rinsing or wiping down. This eventually will lead to the mold/bacteria build up inside the teether that this toy is known for.It is an amazing product and I do recommend it to teething babies, however I would look into other Sophies (this company seems to make a lot of different types of Sophies) that do not have a squeaker or other area where water/liquid could get inside the toy.

My 9 month old niece loves her Sophie the Giraffe, so when we went on a trip and she lost it I ordered one to her asap. This is an honest to God life saver for teething babies, I don't know what it is that they love so much about it but it works! It can be a little difficult to clean in-between some spots but really that's my only compliant. This is a purchase you will not regret!
