Another idea - is pacifier use a marker for a mom that doesn't have knowledge, time or energy to fully breastfeed. Pacifiers are so omni-present in US culture (right up there with bottles) that parents consider them a natural part of parenting. It wasn't that way 30-40 years ago in US. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
