I'm a huge advocate for vaccinations, there is no doubt that they have saved many thousands of lives and are the safest option for your child. Measles is a particularly nasty disease which can cause pneumonia, brain damage, deafness and even death. Around 1/4 of children under 5 who catch Measles will need to be treated in hospital*. Sophie's collaboration with Medecins San Frontieres will take vaccinations to children who very often would not be able to access medical care if they did catch Measles.
Sophie is made from natural rubber from the Hevea Tree and she hasn't changed since the day she was first made. Soft and flexible and warmer than plastic, her renewable, natural materials make her an excellent teething toy for your little one.
She has plenty of places that tiny hands can grip and practise their skills, she isn't heavy and she's really chompy, which is the main attraction factor for a child who has sore gums.
The MSF Award Teething Set is in a really nice gift box and also includes the Sophie La Girafe Vanilla Teether - a smaller and more 2 dimensional teether which still has the same friendly face, but a little less colour.
On the box are details of the worldwide Bonniest Baby Competition, which is open to anyone with a Sophie La Girafe. Held every year, each month 5 finalists win a Sophie la girafe gold-plated silver chain bracelet and at the end of the year they are entered into a grand finale. The 3 grand prizewinners will take home gold, silver and bronze Sophie La Girafe models. Entry is simple - upload a photo of your baby with their own Sophie!
My children are too old, so I gave away a set to a very surprised Mum in the school playground in return for a demonstration Bonny Baby photo - I'm sure this young man was very happy with his new toys when he got home, but we weren't taking his gloves off today as it was -1!
The Sophie La Girafe MSF Award Set is available to buy now from the Sophie La Girafe UK website priced £16.99. They also have other gift sets and the original Sophie La Girafe set available and all products are suitable from newborn.
Courtesy of 1 Two Kids, the UK distributor for Sophie La Girafe, I have 2 MSF Award Teething Gift Sets to give away to my readers. Entry to the giveaway is by Gleam form below and 2 winners will each win 1 set. Open to UK entrants only, the giveaway will end at midnight Sunday 15th April 2018.

Crotchet Blanket: My Awesome Sister, Outfit: Models Own. Sophie La Giraffe MSF Award Gift Sets: sent for review. I'll keep the open set because one day I intend to have Grandchildren and it's a bit weird to give away a baby toy that's open, the gorgeous young man has the other set.
