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

I just read your concern about Sophie being a choking hazard. I haven't taken the time to review all of the feedback on Sophie, but you have to take several things into account. You state that one reviewer found their child choking on Sophie's leg when they "walked into the room". Where were they and why was their infant left alone? The key to being a good parent is to supervise your child. Watch how they interact with their toys. There are many toys on the market for children under 3 that could become choking hazards under the right conditions. If you are leaving your child alone AT ALL they could quickly choke on something as benign as a blanket. My child has owned Sophie for 3 years now and I wouldn't even hesitate to buy her again. He began playing with her at 3 months of age. You have to take all of the ratings with a grain of salt......not everyone is the same type of parent. You can't shift the blame to the toy if you are not supervising your child to begin with.

No, You can "pretend" but baby does not "drink" and "wet" like a baby alive doll would; if that's what you had in mind. There is no hole in the back of baby's mouth.

Not very well, she needs to be squeezed in and my girl couldnt do it by herself. I actually returned that stroller and bought the Little Tikes Buggy instead so Stella would fit in!

No, it doesn't. My baby girl chews on the other side all the time but it has never gagged her. She loves this thing.

Momma San, just FYI. Looks like Sophie is completely non-toxic and made with food paint so the "chip" would not have harmed your little girl.

No, all the peices are quite large. The smallest pieces are the "toppings" and they are larger than anything that would be a choking hazard.

I didn't think so but I also didnt use it that often. The nipple itself was so long it seemed to almost choke my son. To me it wasn't much like the breast other than the sucking motion to get the milk out. Once he would suck so much winks get into the nipple it would just pour out.

I agree, there are so many snaps. Have you snapped the snaps in the front to change the length? That will make it much shorter by one or two 'sizes'. Also, something that could help with sizing, my baby has chunky legs so snap the bottom snaps closer to the outside while snapping the upper ones closer to the inside snaps. I have found that it keeps the poo contained without being to tight on his legs or tummy. I hope this helps!

Can and can't is subjective. But I wouldn't personally unless you are watching them the whole time. Babies need to be able to turn their head when they spit up and this makes it difficult to do that.

No, it doesn't. Usually when my little one eats all that was in the tip I can tilt it down and it falls down into the mouth part. It usually isn't even a problem though because the mouth piece is small enough that my baby and usually get all the food out by himself.

It seems like it wouldn't be that comfortable bringing their fingers to their mouth. There is quite a bit of padding in the arms and bending the arms seems restricted. My little one likes his hands but doesn't really try to bring them to his mouth while in the suit.

My daughter is 9 months old. But this wafer melted in her mouth, she didn't need to use her teeth just the pressure of her gums would have been enough. If your baby has the chewing motions down then it shouldn't be a problem.

It requires a bit more effort than should be necessary to have the doll keep the thumb in the mouth, but it is designed to work. It just doesn't want to stay in on it's own. It will usually dislodge with the slightest nudge. It is easier to keep a small doll pacifier in the mouth than the doll's thumb.

My question is almost the opposite. When did you give your baby Sophie? I received it as a gift and I was wondering when to give it to our boy (he's not born yet)?

No, her mouth is closed. She comes with a pacifier that is magnetic and flat.

it fits her baby alive quite well! The lil juice cup is perfect size!!! Funny you ask because she has this baby doll also. Is better alternative to the wet food they make and then you have to clean the whole doll up. Is better to pretend. Yes it works very well with the doll and she still makes the swallowing sound with the milk bottle.

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