Our Sophie la Giraffe was a gift to my twins for their 2nd Christmas when they were 15 months old. By this point they already had a good collection of teeth and although I appreciated the gift I didn't think that we were going to get much use out of her. My girls had passed the stage where everything went in their mouths and teething pains were being treated with teething gels, powders or paracetamol. However I gave Sophie to them and was pleasantly surprised with the results. What is Sophie la Giraffe? Sophie is a baby toy that originated in France. Our 'Sophie' came in a gift box making it ideal as a gift. Inside was a brief history of how she came to ...  Read the complete review

When my nephew was born, my sister bought him a Sophie the Giraffe (or Sophie la Girafe as she is properly known). There seemed to be something familiar about her face, although I don't think i'd seen her anywhere before, she just has a friendly, enticing look about her! So when my little boy was born this August, my sister bought a Sophie for him and I was very pleased, as she seems to be the toy of choice for the discerning celebrity baby! Sophie is a teething aid and she is designed to be ergonomic for baby to hold and has lots of bits which can be chewed and chomped upon. She is made by a French company called Vulli and she has been on the go in the ...  Read the complete review

I have an adorable nephew who has just turned a year old and I purchased this giraffe toy for him quite a few months ago now, perhaps when he was about six months old. Our lad started to get teething troubles quite some time ago and this toy is described on the amazon website (www.amazon.co.uk) as being 'safe & non-toxic for baby to teeth and chew' which made me think that the fabric of the toy would be perfect and ideal for him to chomp and chew on, and as he was desperate to shove anything within his reach into his sore, painful mouth, I thought that this seemed like a good alternative to socks, balled up fists etc. The toy's full name is "The ...  Read the complete review

My first introduction to Sophie was one morning at my postnatal exercise group, when I looked around the room at the babies lying on their mats, and saw a couple of weird looking giraffe toys being chewed upon. I thought no more about it until later in the week I overheard a mother asking their little one if they would like Sophie and was surprised when she got one of the giraffe creatures out of her bag. Now Baby Frank is five months old, and entering 'The Teething Zone' with her 'friends', it seems that every self-respecting mother (myself included) has a new addition to their bag in the form of Sophie the Giraffe. Sophie is a French teething toy, handmade ...  Read the complete review

My lovely son Brad is now four months old and has started the dreaded teething phase of development. For those that don't know this means lots of vomiting, dribbling, red cheeks, fevers and screaming. So partially for my sanity but mainly because poor Brad is in pain I wanted to get a toy that would help him through this phase. So enter "Mademoiselle Sophie Le Giraffe" teething aid. What is it? I hate to say it but is basically a rubber dog toy complete with a squeak which is just like the one that dog toys make. It is made by Vulli a french company (hence Sophie LE giraffe) and is made of organic rubber that is completely safe ...  Read the complete review
