What baby teether do you recommend and why?

I wouldn't recommend Sophie the Giraffe because there have been incidents where some parents discovered mold in the teether. Apparently, saliva/water got into the holes and mold grew inside the giraffe, causing a nasty smell which prompted the parents to dissect their teethers. http://www.whattoexpect.com/forums/april-2015-babies/topic/beware-sophie-the-giraffe.html If you do get Sophie, get the ring version which does not have any holes. I prefer teethers with no holes. The BANA teether from Korea is designed to look like a banana to promote healthy eating habits and is soft and bendable. It's also vibrantly coloured and designed to attract babies. It can be purchased from Qoo10. http://list.qoo10.sg/item/BANA-TEETHER-FROM-KOREA/405756264
