I'm surprised no one's asked yet, but would this be recommended for babies in their teething stage? Seems like the perfect remedy!

I don't know how that would work. You wouldn't want to put it on their jaw or anything. It could serve as a very short distraction, just as many toys could but I think it loses its effectiveness in numbing the nerves after a short while.

I honestly don't know but I would say probably not because the buzzy bee is very hard. The only good thing would be maybe the ice pack but I highl doubt it also. I have the buzzy bee and it sure works for shots.

I used with my son when he was about 6 weeks old and he slept good with it. I would say ask your pediatrician if you think it is too early for your baby to use it.

Yes, but my baby still loves it. It's just right for getting the back teeth and they seem to love anything silicone (linty and silicone). =)

This is probably better for AFTER the teething stage. It works better as a 'buddy' for my dog than as a chewy.

It's suitable only for baby with no teeths. It's not suitable to hard biters or babies with many teeths. Because it's natural wood and it consists of grains. If kid starts to bite the exact place with a teeths - it will broke. Don't give it to hard biters with teeths! Don't give it if it already damaged! Carefully inspect it before you give it to the baby!

Hi - I would not buy it for someone that young...I'd be afraid they could choke on it. I've had it fall out of my mouth a couple of times, and it fits very loosely inside. I'm not a big fan of it, but have continued to try it to get used to the fit. My recommendation would be the one's you custom mold to your bite. They are about $70 on amazon but $300+ from your dentist. I liked mine a lot, but my dog ate it (2nd one), so I decided to try this. Good luck.

Hi Joanne,I also have a 2 year old and used it on her. I just made sure that I didn't put it on her hands that she puts in her mouth. I also used it on my 3 month old's legs. :)

Hi Brooke, first off I'm sure you could make the beads with no problem, and they would definitely be soft enough for teething, however I'm not sure about the possible toxicity of the chemicals involved in producing these silicone compounds. The only warning I can find specifically says "Caution: Do not eat. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN. Adult supervision recommended. Ingredients may CAUSE EYE IRRITATION, SKIN REDNESS AND SENSITIZATION. If skin redness develops discontinue use and wash the affected area with soap and water. If material gets into eyes, wash with plenty of water." So that's the only warning I see on or in the box. Bottom line, I wouldn't suggest anyone put this stuff in their mouth. Best bet would be to purchase some hypoallergenic product or a similar product that is designed spcifically to be able to be inside your mouth safely without releasing any chemicals :). Good Luck!

I am not sure. I havent used this product for a while. I did come up with my own methods. I am now a proud father of an 8-month old baby boy!

No nothing in it for that. It is bumpy for them to chew on and it massages their gums both of my kids love this binki. I highly recommend this. Make sure u get the size for your child tho because if they are under 6 months the one I fot was big so my son couldnt have it for a while. So for my daughter I found a smaller one

Safety issue? yes very safe my child never chocked or touched it in anyway that made it hurt her.Effectiveness can't quiet answer this question since I bought it after most of her teeth were out. I hope that helped.

We started using it when our son was age 5, her dentist would be the best person to answer that question. Good Luck!

I used it for a 20 month old, to wean her off of her bottle, & it worked perfectly. However, she did end up chewing a hole in the silicone spout, but she was always chewing holes in the bottle nipples, so, it was nothing new for us.

Yes, just make sure that you do a good job of letting the adhesive set overnight is recommended. Look out for the excess adhesive in the front area between the other teeth. I strongly recommend that the inside area be used to place a bit more adhesive to keep the tooth from coming out again. Kindly follow the instructions carefully and you should have a nice job for MOMSY

9 and under - I would say no. They should use children's products. Of course, I am a customer, not a professional. Ask your dentist for better answer.

Yes, but I found that putting it in an old baby food jar works wonders! Try it out! Also, I would find a place that gets good air circulation and put it there if it isn't too obtrusive.

i purchased this today for my 16.5 month daughter. i knew of sophie because it is such a popular registry item, but i didn't get one because i figured my kid would just chew on some other toy. well, she is getting molars now and nothing we have fits the shape of her mouth to get back there for those teeth. i thought of sophie's legs and went and bought one. it was like instant relief. once i gave it to my daughter, she went happily away, chewing on sophie and stopped fussing. sophie seems like an infant toy, but my toddler seems thrilled.
