She is full blown teething right now and absolutely loves her goose! It's perfect for her little hands to hold onto now and she like to chew on the gooses beak! Ha-ha. It is so funny and cute to watch!
Gertie the Goose squeaks when squeezed. It startled my daughter at first, but now it makes her smile and sometimes giggle. However, she has to be in the right mood for it otherwise she gets upset with it. (Update: She is now 9 months old and never gets upset with it. She clings onto it daily in the car while we are waiting in the pick up line at school waiting for her sister. It truly has saved my sanity at times! She gets the feet in her mouth at the right angle and just goes to town on it lol)
This is such an awesome teether toy because its made from 100 percent natural rubber and it is BPA, Phthalate and PVC free. I feel totally comfortable allowing my baby girl to gnaw away on Gertie because there are no small pieces that could break off creating a choking hazard. It gives me a peace of mind. I do inspect it anytime I give it to her just to check for wear and tear.
Gertie the Goose is said to have a vanilla scent, but I don't notice it at all. I am curious to know what the process was to infuse the scent into the rubber.
When I put Gertie in with a pile of other teether toys that my daughter currently plays with, she automatically reaches for Gertie the Goose. It is visually and orally pleasing for her and she is one happy little girl with it. If she is happy then everyone is happy!
When we received this sweet Goose toy, it came with a lovely book called "Gertie the Good Goose Goes on a Playdate". The pictures are colorful and the story is cute. Too long for my baby girl but my five year old enjoys it.
