PCT No. PCT/FI95/00542 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 27, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 27, 1997 PCT Filed Oct. 4, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/20687 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 11, 1996A baby pacifier includes an actual nipple part and a shield. The actual nipple part includes a piece made of elastic or resilient material that is adapted to be held in the baby's mouth at a location between the middle section of the palate and the tongue, and on which piece the baby exerts suction by movements of the jaws and the tongue. The actual nipple part is shaped so that a vertical cross-sectional profile, viewed in a vertical cross-sectional plane of the buccal cavity, is elongated with protrusions directed from the a middle part of the vertical cross-sectional profile to both sides extending to the alveolar ridges and/or the teeth of the baby's upper jaw. The protrusions are shaped so as to create from the baby's sucking motion principally lateral outward pressure on the inside of the alveolar ridges and deciduous teeth of the baby when the actual nipple part is held in a baby's mouth. The vertical cross-sectional profile of the actual nipple part is slightly V-shaped or the upper edge of the cross-sectional profile has a downwards curvature so that the actual nipple part exerts essentially no pressure on the middle section of the palate. |
