Oh, I guess this is one example of the difference between British English & American English. BTW I call it a sucky.

its is something we use that you prob call a pacifier. But if you can get through without one it is the best thing. My baby has a comfort blanket instead. I was tempted sooooo many time but i stuck to mu guns and now we dont need one anyway. Babies need to cry sometimes. However i dont judge anyone who has a baby that cries A LOT and uses one to get some peace and quiet.

US call if a pacifier.
Personally, I think they are a lazy parents tool.
Also, too many times I have seen a parent on a bus or in a shop picking up a dropped dummy, wiping it on their sleeve & putting it back in the baby's mouth - Ugh!
