Teething/Chew Toys

my dd LOVED these:
1) Lamaze Play & Grow Mortimer the Moose Take Along Toy, Colors May Vary by TOMY - http://www.amazon.com/Absolute-Best-month-helpful-parents...
2) RaZberry Pacifer - http://www.amazon.com/Razbaby-009-RT-RaZ-berry-Teether-Re...

I love the toys made by Chicco and the balls that you can squish but are hollow---sorry don't know the name. But they have them at Target for like 8 bucks. I also love the keys and other water-filled teethers. Good luck!

My son loved those foam bathtub letters - He could bite them, hold them, but they woudn't tear. Sophie the Giraffe - I did't get one for my son, but quite honestly, I think they look and sound just like a doggy toy. So no, I wouldn't buy it for my child!

My son loved the black and white part of this toy http://www.amazon.com/Sassy-Ring-Links-Rattle-Development... The black part was kinda rubbery

Also check out "teething bling" - rubbery necklaces and bracelets that you can wear and baby will love

I just found Sophie at a yard sale for a quarter. Yes, it is well liked by my 9 month old grandson. I have wanted to purchase one ever since they came out! I couldnt make myyself spend that much money.lol i must say perhaps it is worth it.

My daughter did not care for Sophie much at all. She really liked a toy I have from Discovery Toys called Super Yummy. It has five different textures so it feels good on their games, and a light vanilla scent to calm and soothe them. It can be put in the freezer. We also have great linking rings so I could attach it to her stroller, car seat, etc and not worry about it falling on the ground (which happened a lot with Sophie).
