- pacifiers are designed to cause a lip irritation when an infant is placed in the mouth, imitating the mother's nipple.
- the conventional pacifier body contributes to the promotion of its feeding movement for infants in the nursing period, but it has passed the feeding period and has become a baby food and a normal meal. Not suitable for infants in transition.
- a nipple with a relatively large cross-sectional diameter adopted by such a pacifier is in a state where the mouth is opened with a relatively large opening in the state of being inserted and held in the oral cavity as in the case of breastfeeding. Therefore, for infants whose feeding movement has begun to disappear with growth, training to maintain a closed mouth as an act required for the next stage of eating behavior and language activities, etc. It inhibits. In other words, infants normally breathe with nasal breathing with their lips closed. Eventually, weaning will begin, and we will be able to breathe mouth while we are eating food with oral strength and learning conversation, and depending on the environment, there is a risk of mouth breathing. It is necessary to learn to learn how to breathe as a habit. Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a pacifier that prevents such adverse effects (see Patent Document 1).
