I first noticed the "ecobinky" pacifier in Whole Foods. Considering the fact that the use of any pacifier or dummy may interferes with successful breastfeeding, leads to premature weaning in most cases, and commonly (perhaps always) leads to malocclusion and may lead to adult sleep apnea (see the work of Dr. Palmer (http://www.brianpalmerdds.com/) I fail to see how your product may be labeled "eco-friendly" in any way. In the most basic sense, it is not ecological to make any product that is unnecessary and it certainly is not ecological to interfere with normal feeding at the breast. I have to express my utter dismay at an "ecologically-minded" company that would market such a detrimental product.
