What a marvellous response to Germaine Lambergs' request, and useful 
to all of us!   Thank you so much.  While filing away your post for 
future reference, I also found this for Germaine:

Simona Di Mario, Pacifiers and breastfeeding, Breastfeeding Briefs 
No. 54, March 2013, available on the IBFAN website at  www.ibfan.org

I was very interested to hear about your previous work in this 
area.   Is there any possibility that you might have looked at a 
possible connection between infant sucking needs and the development 
of cognitive/motor skills??  I ask because of my concern about the 
recommendation for cup-feeding in developing countries for babies who 
cannot be breastfed - I've known of two cases of developmental delay 
which only resolved after orphaned African babies being cared for by 
their grandmothers and exclusively cup-fed were finally fed with bottles.
