A pacifier is a rubber or plastic nipple substitute given to an infant between feeds to quiet their distress by satisfying the need to suck when they do not need to eat.
The three parts of a pacifier include an elongated teat, a mouth shield, and a handle. The mouth shield is large enough to prevent the child from attempting to take the pacifier into its mouth, preventing them from swallowing or choking on it.
