Pacifier use has other issues, too. Elsie Mobbs, who spoke at the VELB/ILCA
Conference in Vienna in 2008, has studied imprinting in mammals, including
humans. She has a small book on imprinting and the effect of the dummy
(pacifier) through imprinting on this oral tactile object.
Mobbs, Elsie. Thumb-sucking and Dummy-sucking: Evidence for Human Imprinting
(Sydney: G.T. Crarf, 2007). Available from publisher: [log in to unmask]
I have no financial or other interest in this book.

There's also lots of evidence that the use of pacifiers in those early years
also carried risk - extremely high death rates correlating with periods of
increased pacifier use, for example. And one area in which lots of
pacifier-use evidence is found is also noted to have been a very difficult
place in which to successfully breastfeed, probably for many of the same
reasons moms struggle now - a lack of support and information in the wider
society.
