That is  really interesting.  Thanks for sharing.  I wonder if there could 
be  a study done on pacifier use and the relationship to infections, 
antibiotic  use, or asthma, as he mentioned a type of mold that can contribute to  
asthma.  I wonder how you would do that and control for everything  else.

I also wonder if the same is true for nipple shields, and if  there should
be a limit on the amount of time one uses a  shield."
~~~ Would this biofilm also then be present on the artificial nipples of a  
bottle too? Especially if there was processed, non human milk flowing 
through  it?
