Sophie the Giraffe

Natalie N.

weeThink

Some love the hooves, others the ears, but babies all seem to love chewing on Sophie. While it may seem like you’re adding an expensive, glorified dog toy to your registry, this teether has been a must-have for over 50 years. Sophie is made of natural rubber and food-grade paint, so it’s totally safe for little mouths.

  • My daughter loves her Sophie giraffe we don’t leave the house without her Mar 22, 2023

  • Had to return straight after bringing it home, for the Sophie with handles, as our dogs thought it was their toy due to the squeaker. Mar 08, 2023

  • My 5 month loves this giraffe. She takes it with her everywhere. Easy to clean. Nov 18, 2022

  • Great teething toy for infants. Easy to clean. I always threw in the top rack of dishwasher. My baby loved this giraffe Aug 21, 2022

  • I was on edge at first due to price of this thing but I am so glad I purchased it since it ended up being my daughter's favorite teether. She loved playing with it (it squeaks) and chewing on it! Jul 14, 2022

  • Both my kiddos used this. It’s super cute but neither one of them seems to really enjoy it a whole lot. So for the price it just was not of value for this family. But overall a great product. May 06, 2022

  • This was a gift for my daughter. She liked it until my dog thought it was theirs. Then it became a really expensive dog toy. To be fair to my dog the squeaker does sound like a dog toy. Feb 26, 2022

  • Baby isn’t super interested in Sophie, and the squeaker makes me wonder if spit and liquid might be getting inside. Received it as a gift but it’s a bit pricey and not sure I would buy it for myself. Feb 17, 2022

  • Our little one loves this for teething! Highly recommend. Jan 20, 2022

  • Great for teething --my baby loves to chew this. It's one piece, so no fear of small parts breaking off and easy to clean. Makes a cute squeaking noise that captures baby's attention when she fusses. Nov 11, 2021

  • perfect for a teething baby! easy to hold Oct 12, 2021

  • I don’t have many complaints about the giraffe itself but I thought this would be the holy grail teether and my kid never looked twice at it. I tried to get her to get excited but it was nothing. Aug 15, 2021

  • On the pricey side for a teether, and my little one was never interested. I really hoped she'd love it, but there were more affordable teethers that she liked more. May 19, 2021

    This is really cute and my daughter enjoyed it, but not as much as my dog did. She found other, more firm, teether s to be her favorites over this. May 18, 2021

    • Emma C.

    • Greenville, South Carolina

    The mold warnings from other moms scared me, so I stopped using this teether. Apr 01, 2021

    He didn't like it till he was at least 8 months old and teething but then he enjoyed chewing on her. We attached to highchair so he also has a friend to play with if he is sitting there while we cook. Jan 25, 2021

    • Van Meter, Iowa

    This is a great toy for all ages. Sophie is easy to hold, soft, and easy to clean. We take it everywhere! Dec 26, 2020

  • I’ve never seen a toy where so many kids unanimously love it quite like Sophie. Great for teething (my baby loves the feet?) and easy to grip Sep 10, 2020

  • I don't know what it is about this little giraffe, but my daughter is obsessed with it!! I actually have 3 of them. LOL! Sep 09, 2020

  • Our daughter loved her Sophie the Giraffe for teething, just playing around, and as a comfort item. They're expensive but great quality and we brought it everywhere with us until she was a year old. Sep 09, 2020

  • My LO loves this! I also appreciate the little book attached that explains all the benefits. The smell, texture, squeaky sound and bright spots are all great reasons this works! Teething go to! Sep 04, 2020

    Baby seems to like it. Squeaks. Sometimes my son puts her legs too far back in his mouth and gags. Aug 15, 2020

  • I regret this purchase. My baby never used it. We saved it to use with our future children. So maybe our newborn will like it more then her sister did! Aug 12, 2020

  • I like the natural material and ease of washing but the ears are a little pointed and I’m always nervous that she’ll poke her eye. It does provide relief from teething pain for my LO though. Aug 10, 2020

  • I don’t get the hype. It’s a glorified dog toy. Neither kid cared about it... Aug 05, 2020

  • The price for this is high for what it is. It’s cute but neither of my kids were really into it Jul 25, 2020

  • This was my baby's first teething toy and she still loves it at 10 months! There are so many places babies can grab on to, and it also squeaks. Oh and it’s super cute! Jul 16, 2020

    Buy a different teether toy than this famous giraffe! My baby smiled at it when I first gave it to her and then soon after threw it on the ground, and ever since then has not reached for it. Jul 03, 2020

  • Babies love Sophie! She’s shaped perfectly and just dense enough rubber to help soothe littles sore gums. Out of all my sons teething toys, he gravitated towards this one the most. It’s magical. May 27, 2020

  • Baby wasn't more interested in this than anything else, and I got concerned about mold that can grow in it. The dog was VERY interested in it though, so had to watch that one toy more closely. May 23, 2020

  • Pricey but baby loved it May 08, 2020

  • My baby seemed to really like it, not sure if it was 100% worth the price though. Apr 21, 2020

  • Love this classic, simple teething toy! So sweet! Apr 20, 2020

  • Expensive I used through 3 babies and its hot or miss. But EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE $25 Apr 11, 2020

    great teether! Apr 10, 2020

  • We are huge Sophie fans! This is my go to Baby Shower gift ! So much fun, even for the tiniest babies! Apr 06, 2020

  • Sophie is a baby whisperer! An all-time favorite toy for us- I try really hard not to leave home without her! Mar 26, 2020

  • I bought for both my kids and they both LOVED sophie! It's great to keep them occupied and instead of a comfort blanket, they have a comfort giraffe. Mar 11, 2020

  • all My mommy friends have sung the praises of Sophie and I am now a believer in this magical giraffe. I don’t know what makes it so special, but it calms my baby instantly and is easy to clean! Mar 01, 2020

  • My daughter didnt love it as much as others said she would, but she still played with it some. Feb 28, 2020

    • Tam L.

    • San Diego, California

    Baby is obsessed with this. Only wish the legs were shorter as he's put them too far into his mouth and gagged sometimes. Feb 18, 2020

  • I will be the first to admit when I got this I thought it looked like an expensive dog chew toy but my baby absolutely loved this! It kept her entertained so I'm all for it. Feb 18, 2020

  • Bought this 10 years ago for my first born and again this year for my baby. Both really enjoy this and it’s great for teething, though it is on the pricier side. Highly recommend! :) Feb 16, 2020

  • After seeing reviews that it ends up in mold inside i tossed it away. Its cute but not worth it Feb 05, 2020

  • Perfect f Feb 03, 2020

    • Beth M.

    • United States of America

    My baby loves to chew on this, especially the fit. However, it is a bit overpriced, and saliva can get into the small hole - which can lead to mold. Jan 30, 2020

  • My daughter absolutely loved this product! It's very durable, and even helped when she was teething! But then again she loves putting everything in her mouth at this age. Jan 28, 2020

    • United States of America

    We use Sophie even before teething as something good to grasp - also like how it squeaks to practice eye tracking Jan 26, 2020

  • My daughter loved this for teething! Jan 26, 2020

  • My son loved this when he was teething. Jan 25, 2020
