I haven't posted to the Lactnet for quite a while so I will re-introduce 
myself. I am a mother of 5, a registered nurse, midwife, neonatal nurse and 
IBCLC. I currently work in a Special Care Nursery and have a passion for 
encouraging and supporting breastfeeding but also to ensure that all 
information given is evidence based.

In the light of the American Academy of Pediatrics statement supporting 
pacifier use once breastfeeding has been established, I am interested in 
accessing evidence based statements that support or refute this paper and 
does anyone know any web addresses I can access to get this information.  It 
is especially significant for babies in Special Care Nurseries, who are 
often premature, and therefore at a significantly higher risk of SIDS.  Many 
of these babies have been offered pacifiers for non-nutitive sucking (as 
supported by a Cochrane databases review) and have become used to dummies.
