ABSTRACT:
The infant pacifier/pillow generally has an elongated circular shaped pillow having a central aperture and a side slot, a pacifier with an open center grasping handle and a removable pacifier holder. The pacifier open center grasping handle is slid into the pillows side slot. To hold the open center grasping handle in place, the pacifier holder which is essentially a rod with an end cap, is pushed down through the central aperture and through the handle's open center until the pacifier holder's end cap is substantially flush with the top of the pillow whereby the pacifier is held in place. The pacifier holder, sized approximately to the same diameter as the pillow's central aperture, is itself held in position and prevented from falling out of the pillow by the friction forces between the pillow material and the pacifier holder. However, the pacifier holder may easily be removed by an adult such that the pacifier may also be removed. With all components of the infant pacifier/pillow separated they can be easily washed and reassembled to provide the infant with a fresh device. The pillow may also be encased in a fabric sleeve that may also be washed.
