Item Special Note

Reviews: 

"I bought this toy for my daughter when she was three months old. She is approaching 10 months now, and her face still lights up when she see Sophie and hears her squeak. Sophie has gotten her through months of teething, and now that the first two teeth are in, I'm sure she will help her through the next ones as well. She has become a well-loved and indispensable friend!" 


"My four month old is obsessed with Sophie. She can't get enough of it. It is easy for her to hold and bring to her mouth. She just started to teeth and Sophie appears to give her some relief. She also loves the "squeak" sound it makes and is able to make it squeak all by herself. I love that it is easy to wash, small, and not cutesy or fussy. Although it is more expensive than other toys, it is worth it. I highly recommend this item." 

"My 4 mo. old daughter is just starting to be able to reach for and hold this adorable toy. It is by far her favorite to chew, hold, and squeak. I did read one review of this toy that said their baby got the head squished into her mouth. I must say, that made me nervous to buy it as a gift for someone, but I haven't had ANY problems with it, just keep an eye on her playtime."

"Our son loves to chew, squeak, squish, this great toy. It smells great and puts us at ease that he is not chewing a toxic product. very worth the money--plus it isn't going to a sweatshop in China!!"
