  1. My little one loves the girafe teether from sophie. i have got this as a gift on my baby shower,he loves chewing on the ears, legs and body there are lots of different places to chew. Our squeaker broke, so that is disappointing, but our baby didn’t really care about the squeaker anyway.The quality of the rubber and paint are great, they’re holding up really well, even after months of use.
