That's because the  research was done on babies who were in the NICU whose 
mothers were not there  24/7.  Its like trying to prove a negative.  The point 
is, what is the  POINT of the pacifier.  What does it do?  Why is it important 
for  premies?  The breast in this case does exactly the same thing (only  
more).  Where is the documentation that breastfeeding is tiring?   Perhaps working 
and working to get a baby to latch on can be tiring, but not the  physical 
act of breastfeeding/suckling at the breast.    If I hear  that one more time, 
I'll.....I'll.....I'll.... -- geeze, I don't know what I'll  do, but it really 
frosts my gizzard.
