Plus it's easy to wash off and keep in the car. LO loves the squeaker, but the downside is that it drives our dogs bonkers... hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295892 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:44:39 +0000 pl0508 295892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I read online that the "paint" is food paint and it is safe! I didn't know such a thing existed. </p> <p>We did register for a Sophie- hoping someone will buy us one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295838 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:05:07 +0000 duckduckkristen 295838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 4 months and loves to chew on Sophie's face. He also laughs hysterically when we make Sophie squeak! We got two as gifts, but I don't think we would have bought it on our own. I think there are plenty similar but less expensive toys out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295832 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:59:41 +0000 immabeetoo 295832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one as a hand me down and a lot of the paint had rubbed off, which weirds me out a little so I donated it and plan on trying wood &amp; natural rubber ones. I also read the choking hazards, which turned me off from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295509 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:59:45 +0000 Weagle 295509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were given one as a gift, but we definitely wouldn't have spent the money to buy one ourselves. LO likes to play with it, but she chews on the Winkle and other toys just as much. She doesn't discriminate :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295507 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:58:34 +0000 Sammyfab 295507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other. We bought the regular Sophie on sale and got the teether as a gift. My LO loves Sophie but he loves his pacifier more. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295400 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:19:52 +0000 sulli301 295400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! This helped out DD so much, it is VERY pricy for a teether, but for the relief it was worth it to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295383 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:11:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 295383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: hahaha cute.</p> <p>we don't have it and I wonder what the hype is about. DS was totally "meh" about teething and just gnawed on any of his other toys. </p> <p>@bree72: cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295359 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:56:08 +0000 BananaPancakes 295359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I like to refer to it as Pierre so he sounds more manly. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295298 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:18:45 +0000 LivsMama 295298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for us it was totally worth it. Liv LOVED hers. She still plays with it now. Grabs it around the neck and squeezes it to torture the dog because he wants to play with it so badly lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295288 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:13:23 +0000 GrapeCrush 295288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: haha the price is the sticking point for me too! it's like do i buy it and get mad if it doesn't work because it was so expensive. or not buy it and always wonder if it could have been a worthwhile expense...sigh! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295266 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:03:20 +0000 Goldilocks1107 295266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO isn't really interested in Sophie. I would think any teether would work, and maybe try out a "standard" one first, so see if your LO even likes the concept.<br /> I only have one because it was a shower gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295263 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:02:30 +0000 runsyellowlites 295263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After trying numerous types of regular teethers, frozen baby wash cloths, and just about anything else I can think DD might like, all of which have failed miserably, I'm seriously considering a Sophie if I don't see a difference using the amber teething necklaces. For now though, we don't have one b/c I think they're overpriced.<br /> (in hindsight if they help then I guess you can't really put a price on that. lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295226 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:46:52 +0000 GrapeCrush 295226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: the frozen teethers are what we have now but he doesnt seem to like them. thats why i was wondering about the sophie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295220 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:46:03 +0000 Mrsbells 295220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: Oh so you can get a non-vanilla version? I will look into that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295218 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:45:17 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 295218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: I think its absolutely hilarious when little boys have "Sophie". I am getting one for my son once he's born and starts to show interest in toys.</p> <p>I'd think any teether would work, wouldn't it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295210 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:42:13 +0000 BananaPancakes 295210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: That's the one he loves, but it's not vanilla scented. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295207 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:41:36 +0000 BananaPancakes 295207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just depends on the baby. We have the regular Sophie, and he's not really into it, especially since he tends to poke himself in the eye with it. But he adores the Sophie teething ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295206 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:41:07 +0000 Mrsbells 295206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have wondered the same thing. I heard GREAT reviews on it, but I decided not to buy it because I read some very scary reviews about the legs being choking hazards. They released a modified version that has the legs connected to eliminate the hazard but the new version is vanilla flavored and doesnt have as great reviews</p> <p>[attach=1326/12/macjkj.260x260.0x260-0-0_vulli-sophie-the-giraffe-vanilla-teething-ring-gif.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295193 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:37:41 +0000 chopsuey 295193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-sophie-teether-worth-it#post-295184 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 10:34:30 +0000 GrapeCrush 295184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we believe that DS is teething....everything that goes near his mouth he gnaws on, especially our knuckles. i was thinking of getting him the sophie....is it worth it? </p>
