A pacifier including a shield having a first side, a second side, a top portion, and a bottom portion, and a handle. The handle extends from the first side of the shield and defines a longitudinal axis. A nipple extends from the second side of the shield, wherein the nipple is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis and extends downwardly from the longitudinal axis.

A compressible pacifier is described having a flexible neck portion connecting a nipple to a base portion. The flexible neck portion allows for the nipple to be extended for use as needed, and compressed within the planar surface of the base portion when the pacifier is not in use or is being transported.

The present invention relates to a detachable pacifier, comprising a limiting device and a pressing device which can be disassembled and assembled with each other, wherein a nipple is arranged below the limiting device and a dustproof cover is arranged outside the pacifier. The limiting device comprises a limiting plate and an annular support portion, an upper edge of the annular support portion is provided with annular clamping portions at intervals; the pressing device comprises a lower end cover, an upper end cover and a pull ring which can be disassembled and assembled with each other. The parts of the detachable pacifier can be disassembled, mounted and cleaned at any time. Further, the clamping blocks at the notch of the annular support portion and a limiting block which is matching the clamping block is provided in the lower end cover, to prevent the detachable pacifier from being disassembled by infants.

The invention relates to a pacifier (1) comprising a shield (6) and a teat (2) secured thereto. The teat (2) comprises a stem (3) in-terconnecting a first end portion (4) and a second opposite end portion (5) of the teat (2). The shield (6) comprises an elongated through-slot (8), which slot (8) has an opening (10) at one end thereof and a width being smaller than a cross-sectional diameter of the stem (3) of the teat (2). The stem (3) is compressed when inserted in the elongated through-slot (8), with the first (4) and second (5) end portions of the teat (2) located on opposite sides of the slot (8), and by that is the section of the stem (3) closest to the shield (6) given a smaller cross-sectional diameter than the section of the stem (3) closest to the first end portion (4) of the teat (2). The invention also relates to a method for producing such a pacifier (1).

A pacifier weaning apparatus is provided that includes a shell or shell assembly providing a housing, and a nipple configured to protrude from the housing. The nipple includes a first end adapted to be held by the housing, and an opposing, sucking end adapted for insertion into a user's mouth. The nipple also defines a first chamber and an expandable, second chamber that are both open at the first end and extend in a direction from the first end to the sucking end, and the first chamber being open and the second chamber being closed at the sucking end. And the pacifier weaning apparatus includes an airflow-control component configured to regulate either or both a break pressure at or above which airflow through the first chamber is permitted, or a rate of airflow through the first chamber.
