Abstract: The invention comprises a stuffed toy (doll or animal) with a flexible extension member and pacifier retaining loop extending off and away from the toy, in the form of a hat or tail, for attachment and detachment of the pacifier to the doll. The pacifier may then be sterilized and the doll or animal laundered. The pacifier retaining loop is fed through the ring of the pacifier. The end of the pacifier retaining loop, which has a snap or hook attached to it, is then fed through a small opening in the back of the extension member. The snap on the end of the pacifier retaining loop snaps onto a receiving snap button which is attached to the inside of the extension member. The parent accesses the inside of the extension member in order to attach or detach the pacifier through a VELCRO.TM. lined opening situated in the back of the extension member.
