The 12 Best Teething Toys to Soothe Sore Gums

Vulli Sophie the Giraffe ($24, originally $30)

At $24, Sophie the Giraffe can feel like a splurge. Still, nearly 32K Amazon reviewers give the giraffe, which has enjoyed a more than five-decade run on expectant parents' registries, a 4.8-star rating. For these fans, the baby teether toy lives up to its advanced billing.

"Sophie has been a staple on our house since we had children," wrote one reviewer. "All of my kids have loved this teether."

Sophie is made of 100 percent natural rubber and boasts numerous chewable parts with different textures, from her hooves to her ears. The soft polka-dot fur and squeaky sound help even the fussiest of littles crack a (nearly toothy) smile.
