The present invention is a pacifier having a non-collapsible aperture within the nipple lengthwise and a vertical aperture crosswise. The pacifier has a superiorly arched nipple upon a guard and opposite the nipple, a tab for grasping. The horizontal aperture extends from the tip of the nipple and through the guard. The horizontal aperture allows the passage of air into and out of the pacifier as an infant breathes and has a rib extending lengthwise that prevents collapse of the aperture. However, as infants salivate when suckling on a pacifier, the vertical aperture permits drainage of saliva, that enters the horizontal aperture, back into the mouth of an infant. The guard has a generally oval shape. Alternatively, the nipple deviates superiorly and close to the proximal end, has recesses for teeth or gums, and a hole in the tab for a strap or keeper.
