When my daughter was this age, we experimented with all sorts of pacifiers, and found that a specific brand and style worked much better than others. We also weened her off the pacifier at about 6 months, which was 2 weeks of hell, but solved a lot of other nighttime headaches. | |

Some kind of tether to keep it from falling in the dirt is another matter, but doesn't solve this problem. Some problems don't really have a solution. | |

The really old ones they were showing had the holes way too far out and on upraised parts that wouldn't even have been on the skin. And great point about the tether length, seems like you can't even buy them much longer than 14cm or so here, but I didn't think about folks making their own, editing to add that. | |
