Pacifier

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A pacifier (known as a dummy in English speaking countries outside North America and Ireland - where it is known as both a dummy and also a soother) is a rubber, plastic, or silicone nipple given to an infant or other young child to suck upon. In its standard appearance it has a teat, mouth shield, and handle. The mouth shield and/or the handle is large enough to avoid the danger of the child choking on it or swallowing it.
