Abstract

Authors' conclusions: the recommendation of offering a pacifier at 15 days does not modify the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding.

Reviewers' commentary: despite the scarcity of well-designed clinical trials about the recommendation of pacifier use, it appears that it has not a tendency to influence on the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding. Therefore its advice to diminish the risk of cot death is applicable.
