Just couldn't resist putting my 2 cents in about pacifiers.  When I teach my
prenatal BF classes, I sometimes do a little visualization where I have the
parents pretend they have been in a skiing accident in (name of some country
where they are sure not to speak the language).  They are in a total body
cast and thirsty.  I ask them how they would attract the nurse's attention.
 Then I ask them how they would feel if it were not time for them to have a
drink yet and they were just left there to holler.  Finally I ask them to
imagine that the nurse brought them an empty glass so that they could pretend
to drink.  Guess what????  They get the picture-- a pacifier is like an empty
glass.
