I would look to those as alternatives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-317017 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:04:16 +0000 shopaholic 317017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww...that wing is so funny &amp; cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-317012 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:58:26 +0000 lemondrop 317012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute! </p> <p>The big thing that I like about Sophie is that I can put a toy leash on her and not lose her- especially now that he likes to play "fetch" with me. Mommy is a good retriever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-317005 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:33:46 +0000 HabesBabe 317005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is amazeballs! I'm gonna get the chicken wing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-316999 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:18:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 316999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: hahaha so funny. you will have to snap a pic and share! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-316990 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:10:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 316990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Good point! I ended up buying the chicken wing. DD likes to gnaw on my knuckle so it's kind of the same shape. My mom's just about to send a package so I have to act fast so it can make the trip! </p> <p>I can not wait to see ppl's reaction to that here! I'm betting someone will call CPS! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-316968 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 16:22:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 316968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: the chicken wing is so funny!!!</p> <p>the only comment I have about the ribs though is that it looks like one long piece and babies tend to stick long toys deep in their mouth which induces gagging. They don't learn not to shove it all the way back for awhile! Cobi still does it so I make sure not to give him anything that is long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-316963 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 16:00:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 316963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take that back, I found the company that makes the ribs online and they're made of silicone. I think I'm gonna try them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/an-alternative-to-sophie#post-316952 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 15:26:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 316952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking for a thick teether that's not a pacifier and that'll fit into LO mouth and she can hold easily. Something like a Sophie, but I want to see what the alternatives are before I buy her. </p> <p>I found one that wasn't so thin: rib and a chicken wing! It's hilarius! But there's not enough reviews and I don't know how I feel about a newish company.</p> <p>Here's the rib and chicken wing:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OEDYCA/ref=gno_cart_title_1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OEDYCA/ref=gno_cart_title_1</a><br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Teething-Toys-Chompin-Chicken-Appeteether/dp/B003MX1Q6E/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1348950335&#038;sr=1-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Teething-Toys-Chompin-Chicken-Appeteether/dp/B003MX1Q6E/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1348950335&#038;sr=1-2</a> </p>
