The present invention relates to a pacifier for infants used to comfort infants. More specifically, a silicone tube body (10), into which or from which air can be injected or discharged such that an infant feels the silicone tube body like a breast of the infant's mother when touching the silicone tube body, is coupled for use to a nipple-shaped nipple unit (50) by a secure coupling unit (30), and thus, due to the infant's touching of the silicone tube body, not only emotional security as if the infant were in the bosom of the infant's mother can be provided but also the development of the infant's brain can be beneficially stimulated, in comparison with traditional plastic pacifiers. Particularly, the nipple unit is not only simply coupled but also hermetically coupled by the secure coupling unit to a coupling ring formed at the front of the silicone tube body, and the silicone tube body has a valve through which air is smoothly injected or discharged, and thus the product not only can be assembled and taken apart for use but also provides great confidence and convenience of using air injection. In addition, when air is injected into the silicone tube body, the tube body is inflated not upward but downward so as to be prevented from blocking out the forward field of view of the infant sucking on the pacifier, and thus psychological security is more greatly provided for the infant.

A teat (1, 1′, 1″) comprising at least a shaft (4) and a nipple (2), wherein structured surface areas are provided at least in a partial region thereof, and the structured surface areas are formed by at least one rough surface zone (7) having a surface roughness of 100 μm at the most, in particular of 50 μm at the most.

A teat, in particular for infants and small children, having a hollow nipple with at least one through-hole for liquid nutrition, which is connected at the bottom to a substantially annular-disc-shaped nipple flange, which serves to be fastened to the mouth of a vessel by means of a fastening ring with an annular-disc-shaped ring flange overlapping the nipple flange for pressing the bottom side of the nipple flange flat against the front-side edge of the mouth and at least one recess extending in the radial direction of the nipple flange on the top side of the nipple flange so that a ring flange of a fastening ring pressing against the top side of the nipple flange is spaced from the top side of the floor of the recess during the fastening of the teat on the mouth of a vessel, and the nipple flange is sufficiently flexible at least in the area of the recess so that the floor arches up and air from outside flows back into the vessel under the arched floor of the recess in the radial direction when the teat is fastened on the mouth of a vessel and negative pressure is created in the vessel when the nipple is sucked on.
