Any Moms here have a "Sophie the Giraffe"?

[lifesapeach]

I have one. Neither of my kids really cared about it, but then again, they really didn't use many teethers at all.

[Deleted]

my kid loved and still loves hers when she refinds it. it's a nice gift because it's otherwise overpriced.

a ton of people are going to respond that it's an expensive, overrated dog chew toy in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . .

[eddy]

Leo is pretty meh about it.

[daisybuchannan]

I have regular sophie and the sophie teether. C loves them both equally, and Sophie usually is in the carseat with him. He latches on to her face and sucks, lol.

[speckledfrog]

I never got one.

[papie]

I have one.  Way way way overpriced, my kid was never interested in her.

Henry doesn't seem to like any of his teething toys. He really just likes to nom on a washcloth dipped in ice water. The squeaker does confuse the dogs. Henry squeaks it and they run over and stare waiting for him to drop it so they can rip Sophie to shreds. Its kind of amusing.

[Jermys]

Ours has been through both kids and both have loved it. It is awesome. Edith was still playing Barbies with it when Freddie came home.

[muffin0]

We have two. 

Neither kid has been super attached to them, but of course when we had #2 DD1 was all "I LOVE MY SOPHIE!"

Both will play with it when they re"find" it

This.  My SIL couldn't really justify the price since they were on a budget.  So we gave it to niece for Christmas.  Niece really loved it. 

The only complaint they had was with cleaning it. 

[pierogigirl]

Each kid has one. They liked her and I'm glad I had them, but we probably could have lived without them. DS1 (3.5) will still sometimes sleep with her, but he likes to sleep with all the things in his bed.

[softspot]

Another love vote. He still sleeps with both little & big Sophie.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

If you do it, see if you can get into Sam's Club to get it. They have a set of a plush one and the regular one for a decent price ($20ish?).

[eddy]

Oh yeah the squeak drives my dog bananas. We have to chill her out each time it is set off.

I resisted the urge to buy one with Jack. Leo was much more into chewing things so I was just for sure this toy would be the mecca of all toys. He barely touches the thing and I am out $18 lol.

[lintscreen]

I think it's overrated. DS wasn't interested in it at all and then by the time he actually started getting teeth, we had lost it. He found other, cheaper things to chew on.

We had the Sophie teether, not the taller toy like one. My DS loved it. We actually had to go buy another one because H left it at my parents once and DS couldn't live without it!

i kind of want one and my "baby" is 8. 

[karmasabiotch]

J loved his. We did have to hide it from the dogs. He still likes holding it when he comes across it.

[IrishBelle]

I had one that I got as a gift for DD2 and she really didn't care for it.

[janiejones]

we have the regular one and the teether ring one. He likes them okay.

[cc]

We got one for LO and she rarely used it. It was a waste of money IMO.

[mamasaurus]

I like Sophie. We have the big squeaky one but started with just the little teether one.

They are indestructible. They go in the dishwasher (although that affects the squeak in the big one). They have been smashed, stomped, chomped, thrown, run over with other toys, doused with sippy cups, splashed with puree, and pelted with balls but are still like new. Big sophie is the only teether my baby will take anymore, for some reason.

You can sometimes get sophies on sale, or use a BBB coupon for them if the price is a deterrent.

Do not google "big sophie." All porn; no giraffe.

[ECB]

DS never really got into his.

[textbookcase]

Bonnie loves hers. We got it as a gift.

[daisyheadmaizie]

We have the teether style one and DS loves it. It is one of his favorite chew toys.

This one: www.amazon.com/Vulli-200318-So%60-Pure-Teether/dp/B0038JDAJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1365003018&sr=8-2&keywords=Sophie+teether

[fryjack2]

We have 4 of them. Two still in their boxes. The boys will chew on them, but I dont think they have a clue thats its different from anyother random thing they chew on. They much prefer chewing on cloth, like my shirt or pants or towels.

Sophie has been around for decades. There is a whole slew of Sophia items you can buy, like a suitcase for when she travels. ha!

[eb777888]

Yes I have it and no, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It was a waste of money.

[Deleted]

From what I've read I think it's a great shower gift - pricey for a parent to buy themselves, kids seem to love or not care about it. But if they love it then it's worth every penny.

We got the little one as a gift already. If she likes it when she's hear I'll invest in the bigger one. If not, well we didn't buy it

[gretchenindisguise]

L freaking loved that damn thing.

I always give it as a gift now, because otherwise my friends won't buy it. They've all been thankful.
