Sophie and gagging Do Sophie's long legs ever make your baby gag if it gets stuck too far in their mouth?

we purchased the Sophie teether with the rings on it. I highly recommend it if choking on the legs is a concern. my one-year-old still enjoys chewing on it!

I'm really glad I continued further down in the reviews. The first ones are raving about it. I almost purchased this for my soon to be Grandson. Thank you all for posting about the paint and the gagging. I will continue the search for a good teether/toy and stay clear of this.

There are a lot of 1 star ratings that claim this to be the problem with the sophie teething toy. I am looking into getting a toy for my son and make sure to read why people give such low ratings and this is the number one this I saw.

Why is there no warning on Amazon? Buy Buy Baby warns that it is a choking hazard!

Yes! They suck their thumbs, but the thumb comes out and the mouth also hold a pacifier. The best dolls around- hands down. Also real newborn infant clothes fit them perfectly !

You can, her mouth is nearly an inch deep. A pacifier with a wider end would probably stay in.

I assume the potential choking hazard is for the bow, in case it comes off. Possibly for the ID bracelet? Our 3 year old loves this doll, and it's regularly around our 7 month old baby. I've never had concerns about our baby choking on any part of the doll/outfit.

The baby's pacifier has a button magnet in it. It is covered by a thin layer of fabric. My baby is teething and chews on the doll paci. I would make check frequently for wear in the fabric to prevent choking or swallowing of the magnet.

My baby plays with them all the time and has never had a problem with them. Honestly, I don't see how it could be a problem. Even individually, none of the pieces are large enough for the baby to swallow.

Since these dolls come sealed in a box, and the pacifier is attached to the box, I can't tell you for certain, but it appears that the way the end of the pacifier is made, that it will stay in the doll's mouth without holding it.

I have a pacifier for mine. I had to cut the end off to get it to fit and stay in. But her mouth is wide open, so yes, it's the same idea. Bottle, yes.

We're debating about getting Sophie for our 18 month old and 4 year old, who were fighting over one today - the 18 month old was having fun squeaking it while the 4 year old was trying to get Barbies to ride it...so apparently the appeal goes beyond teething. Plus it was the only toy that the portrait studio had that would calm my younger daughter so we could get a decent pic when she was 9 months old.

Actually anyone can choke on anything. Some people let their toddlers around all types of things and puzzles pieces are no different. So I see nothing wrong with the Caution sentence.

We bought Sophie when our son was 4 months old. He is now 8 months and Sophie has become his favorite toy. Unfortunately, we recently found a small chunk missing from her foot (hoof). He has 2 teeth that have come in so far so it must be possible for teeth to puncture this toy. We are very sad that we've had to take away his favorite toy but since it has now become a choking hazard, we have no choice.

Yes, you squeeze her hand and she says a few different phrases. She also has a jingling bell in one of her legs that jingles as you carry/ move her around. It's a pleasant jingling and not obnoxious. My daughter sleeps with lambie and it doesn't wake her at all. It's cute, soft and great for just about any age.

Her mouth can't hold a pacifier or thumb on its own (not made for it), but you can hold her thumb to her mouth to pretend. :-)

I Wally don't know....our Sophie seems to be fine so far. We've only had her a few weeks

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. :)

No not at all our daughter never had an issue with it. All it really is is a somewhat raised smooth plastic hump in the front it's not in their way or on them or anything. Our daughter is five and a half 40 pounds and 39" tall and she still uses it with no problem if we are on a road trip and she has to go on the side of the road or when she's at her grandparent's house because they only have one bathroom and she might need to go while someone is in there so it should work perfectly for your little one too. This is the best potty ever by the way!

yes, but it's better to clip it closer to baby's waist. if you clip it close to the baby's neck, it can wrap around the front of the neck. it's not long enough to strangle, but it can irritate.
