It's not the pacifier, it's the suckling.Babies who nurse on demand have lower rates of SIDS, that's WHY the scientists found a link between pacifiers and a decrease in the instances of SIDS, but they didn't look at the underlying cause. When a baby suckles they don't fall as far into a deep sleep as when a baby is left alone. It's not the pacifier, it's the suckling. Think about it.
