A multi-functional pacifier assembly, comprising:
- a guard shield and a nipple having a mounting portion removably coupled to said guard shield and a bulbous portion displaced from and extending away from said mounting portion;
- a liquid dispenser including (1) a casing having a generally cylindrical configuration that defines an interior area and an open top and (2) a fluid chamber selectively received in said interior area through said open top and that defines an interior space for receiving and containing a liquid,
- said casing having an upper end threadably and releasably coupled to said guard shield, said nipple being sandwiched between said upper end of said casing and said guard shield when said casing is coupled to said guard shield;
- wherein said nipple defines an internal chamber in communication with said interior space of said fluid chamber and wherein said bulbous portion defines a pinhole in fluid communication with said internal chamber, such that the liquid is obtained via said pinhole when said bulbous portion of said nipple is sucked on;
- a teether toy assembly that includes a ring coupled to a lower end of said casing, said ring including (1) an outer surface having a circular configuration and defining an interior that is hollow and (2) a plurality of solid objects situated in said hollow interior each being unattached so as to make a rattling sound when said ring is shaken;
- a strap assembly that includes (1) a first fastener coupled to said ring so as to dangle therefrom, (2) a second fastener opposite and displaced from said first fastener, and a strap body portion extending between said first and second fasteners, said strap body portion being constructed of a flexible fabric material that is luminescent so as to glow-in-the-dark.
