When I first saw this teether I was hesitant to get it because the price is a little steep, but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. My son was 5 months when we bought it for him and he had problems with all of the other teethers we had bought before. Either he couldn't keep a hold of them for more than a few minutes with his chubby little hands or they were too big to get to the parts he needed and he would loose interest. Sophie has been a God send! She was worth every penny!! My son loves her and because she's long he's able to hold her easily. He can chew on just about every part. I would highly recommend this teether to anyone having a baby and will definitely add it to my list of baby shower gifts!
