ABSTRACT:
A liquid dispensing infant pacifier has a mouth guard with a hollow tubular connector portion on its rear side over an opening extending through the mouth guard from its rear side to its front side. The connector has a configuration similar to that of a catheter hub and is selectively and removably connectable to either the interiorly threaded discharge end of a conventional liquid dispensing syringe or a closure cap portion of the pacifier which serves to block fluid flow through the connector portion. Projecting outwardly from the front side of the mouth guard, over the opening therein, is a specially designed double-walled tubular nipple which is formed from a partially everted pliable material tube and has a large interior flow space extending outwardly through the open front end of the nipple body. Due to the nipple construction, when the syringe is attached to the mouth guard, liquid discharged from the syringe easily flows through the nipple into an infant's mouth without any sucking force being exerted on the nipple by the infant. When the syringe is replaced with the closure cap the mouth guard connector is blocked to preclude undesirable inward air flow through the mouth guard connector as an infant sucks on the nipple.
