Re: Pacifiers

Found an article in the Nursing Review April 1997.  The article refered to British research which had linked dummy (pacifiers) use with lower intellectual capabilities.  It suggested that dummies make babies less interested in their surroundings.  "If everytime a baby cries you shove a dummy in it's mouth then there is less encouragement for baby to challenge his environment."
Unfortunately the reference for the research wasn't included.
Just thought I'd add it to the previous info as food for thought.
