What is a "pacifier"?

A pacifier is a soothing device for infants that helps satisfy their natural instinct to suck. It consists of a nipple made from rubber or silicone, attached to a shield or handle.

They can assist in soothing a fussy or colicky baby, promoting relaxation, and aiding in sleep.
