Pacifier Use May Decrease the Risk of SIDS Abstract Introduction
... Although this relationship has been disproven, there is strong and consistent evidence that fewer infants with SIDS use a pacifier during nighttime sleep than age-matched control infants [4]. The mechanisms whereby pacifiers provide protection against SIDS remain unclear, though two mechanisms have ...
