Title:
BABY PACIFIER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002015840
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An infant pacifier that simulates the natural shape, structure and consistency of the human breast. The device is constructed to cause the infant to replicate the same oral motor skills that the infant uses during breast-feeding. Specifically, the device is constructed with a bell-shaped portion that is sufficiently firm that it will not collapse in the infant's mouth, and with a nipple portion that will elongate and rest against the soft palate when a normal sucking action is made by the infant, thus avoiding the potential for nipple confusion by the infant.
