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

Worth the hype
So many people recommended this and we are grateful. Sofia is easy to hold, the perfect weight. So hooks her thumb under the legs and has many spots to gnaw on. She carries it everywhere. Wipes easily for cleaning. Alittle pricey but worth it.

Favorite teether!
I don’t know what it is about this giraffe but my baby is obsessed! Even though it’s pricey, I’d buy it over and over if I had to.

Perfect Teething Toy
I had a lot of doubts before buying this giraffe teething toy, but once it arrived, my baby absolutely loved it. The cute giraffe face and gentle squeaky sound easily grab her attention. The soft rubber material makes it comfortable for her to chew on, and it’s perfectly sized for her little hands to hold and play with. I’m very satisfied with this purchase!

Don’t try to resist Sophie, her powers are too strong and you will LOSE!
When my firstborn son hit the teething age I was determined not to fall for the Sophie hype. I seemed to notice every Manhattan baby in their posh ergonomic stroller riding through the streets of NYC while chomping on Sophie the Giraffe. I would groan whenever I saw Sophie in the hands of yet another babe as I was sure she was just an overpriced baby fashion accessory and I thus, became the quintessential Sophie hater. To me, Sophie resembled an overpriced puppy dog toy with a bad paint job that was more suitable for a 7 lb Pomeranian dog as opposed to my baby. And whenever I heard babies pass by me on the street while squeezing Sophie to make her squeak she only seemed to be that much more of a glorified puppy dog toy scam that was aimed at self conscious striving yuppie urban parents. Thus, I suffered without Sophie at my disposal as my son slurped on other teething toys with little relief when he suffered through his uncomfortable teething phases.Fast forward another few years and I was still quite anti-Sophie when my second child was born. But her teething was so bad that I was determined to give anything a try to provide her with relief – including the hated and possibly over hyped Sophie. In fact, I distinctly remember grumbling to myself as I was purchasing her on amazon with the thought that I was spending over $20 (and about $19 too much) on what was tantamount to a squeaky looking plastic toy teether more suitable for the canine species. Yet, I will fully admit that my cynicism about Sophie started to wane the moment that Sophie arrived looking cheerful in her pleasantly designed packaging. And once I took her out of her peppy package and ran my fingers over her spots and looked closely at her little face that smiled right back at me, I thought to myself ….well, she is actually … (dare I say it)….cute!Then I handed Sophie to my teething daughter for the true test of her value and lo and behold my daughter took one look at Sophie’s face and giggled, then licked her horns and promptly started chomping on her head. And once my baby daughter figured out that Sophie not only felt good on her gums but also squeaked, she was truly in love with her. Since then my daughter has spent countless hours gnawing on Sophie and squeezing her to make her squeak. She started referring to Sophie as ‘E’ and would scream and motion for her whenever she saw Sophie sitting on the shelf at home.I must mention though that the only reason that I am not giving Sophie 5 stars is because my daughter once managed to get one of Sophie’s legs stuffed down towards her throat and she gagged pretty violently. After that, I never left Sophie alone with my daughter at all, Instead, after this happened, I was even more careful to only give Sophie to her when I was holding my daughter or playing close attention to my daughter as she used Sophie for teething, to ensure that my daughter didn’t push Sophie’s legs down her throat. Since I never really left my daughter as an infant alone with toys anyways, it wasn’t that big of a deal for me and it didn’t keep her from using Sophie frequently.So, the moral of the story is that the infamous Sophie the Giraffe teether has won over another hardened skeptic. I tried to resist her but her powers are too strong and although you may try to resist her too, before you know it Sophie’s magical powers will be causing you to shell out $20 so that your child too can join the other cool kids at the playground and carry Sophie around as the fashionable must have baby/pseudo dog toy, teether that she is. In all seriousness, I would definitely buy Sophie again as a gift for another expecting mom and I have had no problems with her spots coming off despite the amount of teething that my daughter used her for. I would, however, recommend getting a Sophie ‘leash’ because babies love to throw Sophie like a launched missile out of their strollers and you will be cursing yourself for not buying her a leash to secure her to your stroller when you lose her on a walk and then have to spend yet another $20 for a replacement Sophie! You can find a Sophie leash here TutimNYC Pacifier Clip Toy Sitter Teether Keeper for Vulli Sophie the Giraffe – Pink Waves..or at a website with the name Betsy, minus the B. With that said, happy teething!

Die Giraffe ist sehr schön und kann super von meiner Tochter gehalten werden. Toll ist das sie durch den Naturkautschuk weich ist und gut in den Mund genommen werden kann.Etwas skeptisch bin ich noch mit dem Loch auf der Rückseite damit die Giraffe quietscht. Ich weiß noch nicht ob sie wieder richtig trocknet oder von innen schimmelt wenn zu viel speichel oder Wasser vom abputzen rein kommt. Ich möchte aber aktuell die Giraffe auch nicht wirklich aufschneiden um es zu prüfen.

Priced at 1000re, it was a premium buy. And disappointing when i realized it’s too big and complicated my 4 month old. But then at 5 months he figured it out and since then this is his favorite teether. Unlike other teethers this doesn’t have a handle( that they can’t chew on), has multiple textures and is a toy as well. I would recommend this product
