Will buying Sophie for my baby make me a better parent? How many should I buy?

Absolutely. Or get left behind with the other bad parents.

I read a few posts on the internet about a recall of Sophie. Check wikipedia. Are the Sophies sold on this Amazon page made after March 2012?

There was never an "official" recall on Sophie. What happened was that Sophie was found by a third party to contain a higher level of Nitrosatable content than allowed in order to conform to the European Safety Standard for teethers and soothers. In response Vulli changed their processing sometime in 2012 and offered a voluntary exchange program for Sophies purchased in Germany. Vulli wont say when exactly the formulation was changed but the new safety test report that showed the reduced Nitrosatable content came out April 2012. Sophie has always conformed to US Safety Standards so anyone who purchased a Sophie before the formulation change in the USA were not considered eligible for the exchange program. Sophie the Giraffe is such a popular toy that I would be surprised if any of the older Sophies are still currently "on the shelf". If you want to be sure however the batch number on Sophies leg reveals the manufacture date. My Sophies number is 322060. The last four numbers are the ones you want. The third number on mine (2) stands for the year... the 2 on mine represents 2012. The following three numbers (060) are the day of the year, the 60th day of the year in 2012 was February 29th. So my Sophie was manufactured February 29, 2012, probably right before the formulation change. I hope that makes sense and is helpful to everyone.

Will Sophie's high likelihood of growing black mold give my child an amazing immune system?

No DUHHH!! How you think beast boy got to be ? 🙄🙄

What guarantee that this is a real Sophie and not a fake?

I ordered this item twice. One time I got the legitimate Sophie, and one time I received a fake. The box, quality of the toy and quality of the pamphlet inserts is obvious when a fake is sent. The fake was a little smaller of a giraffe and the color was more of a yellow rubber.

ho acquistato questo prodotto poiché cercavo qualcosa di specifico per la dentizione..e questo è il migliore della sua categoria, che dire, subito, vista in foto questa giraffa non mi sembrava un granché (esteticamente parlando), ma poi appena arrivata ho dovuto ricredermi, dal vivo è molto più bella e si vede che è di ottima fattura !! La mia bimba di 4 mesi, che al momento interagiva solo con giochi di stoffa, ha gradito molto e riesce ad afferrarla bene e portarla alla bocca , lei si diverte e ne è incuriosita ed io sono tranquilla poiché so che ci può giocare in tutta sicurezza! Anche la spedizione è stata ottima come sempre !! voto : 5 stelle !!

It is a well-loved teething toy that ticks all the boxes for ease of cleaning, holding, portability, size, and teething relief. The texture is soft and rubber for babies sore gums, helps with discomfort, and helps with soothing. The design of the giraffe is easy to hold for babies, the baby can hold it a couple different ways.

Nachdem wir diese Giraffe zur Geburt unserer Tochter geschenkt bekommen haben, hat sich unsere Tochter schnell in diese Giraffe verliebt. Drauf rum beißen, lutschen und Kauen, vorallem wenn neue Zähnchen kommen haben wir das Gefühl das es ihr gut tut und etwas die schmerzen lindert. Nachdem in den Medien ein Bericht aufgetaucht ist, wo angeblich bei einer Familie in den USA die ganze Giraffe von innen verschimmelt war, habe ich unsere Giraffe direkt aufgeschnitten und nach geschaut. Nix aber wirklich garnichts war zu sehen. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war sie ca. ein halbes Jahr in Gebrauch. Wir haben die Giraffe aber auch nie zum Baden mit in die Wanne genommen und auch nur mit Desinfektionstüchern abgewischt. Naja nachdem sie dann von mir aufgeschnitten wurde und nicht mehr zu verwenden war, habe ich hier direkt eine neue bestellt. Unserer Tochter gefällt sie nach wie vor und hilft ihr beim Zahnen.

My daughter is obsessed with this teething toy. In fact so are all her friends. It’s a must have for teething babes. Just be cautious when cleaning that you do not get any water on the inside as to avoid any problem with mould. I never had any concern!
