Abstract: A pacifier (7) is constructed for a relatively thin generally curved base (8) for conforming to the contour of an infant's face in its mouth and surrounding skin areas. A nipple (12) is suitably attached generally centrally of the base. The base is provided with one or more slots (15) extending inwardly from the base edge (9), with the slots forming tube receiving recesses (16), which may hold one or more feeding and ventilation supply tubes (13, 14) of different sizes. The slots (15a) may be substantially larger than a tube (13a, 14a) passing therethrough, to thus provide a spitup bypass (19). The pacifier is freely releasable from the tubes and will fall away therefrom if the pacifier or tubes are disturbed.
