I never suggest any pacifier as useful, except in suck training----playing tug o war. I explain the damage that artificial nipples do to the palate and oral structure and implications for long-term harm, including adult sleep apnea. Brian Palmer addresses this pretty extensively. Knowing this, I could never "teach" appropriate use of a pacifier.
