This creates a sanitary method of continuous satisfaction for the baby, which in turn reduces baby's crying—wanting a support, substitute nourishment, or a method to keep the baby busy, rested and unstressed. The invention may be in four (4) design types, using the same material but creating a variable styles (i.e. PH, PHB, PHC and PHD) as shown in Specification section. ## Claims ### Claim 1 The present invention relates to the concept of having a pacifier holder strap (PH) or harness, in particular a stretchable retainer to very gently and yieldably hold a pacifier gently in a baby/infant mouth. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The pacifier holder strap (PH) a.k.a stretchable retainer (PH) of claim 1, consists of a thin, flexible, stretchable, soft strip of fabric (varieties of designs and shapes) with a preferated hole in its center to hold a pacifier in the baby's mouth as long as needed. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The stretchable retainer (PH) of claim 2, can be easily be removed by the care giver when not needed or needs to be replaced. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) In the stretchable retainer (PH) of claim 3, if the baby gets tired of sucking on the pacifier, he/she can simply and easily push the pacifier out of his/her mouth using tong or lips—while the PH strap is still retained around the baby's face (below his/her bottom lip). In this instant, the pacifier will stay out of baby's mouth, but immediately close to his lips for retraction. Then, if the baby desires to have it back, he/she can simply move his lips and play with the pacifier and have it have in his/her mouth OR easily push the pacifier into the mouth with his/her hands. This entire was repeatedly observed as the inventor was testing the invention with four (4) separate babies (to include two of his own). ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The stretchable retainer (PH) of claim 4, can be designed in different styles as illustrated by PH, PHB, PHC, PHD in the Specification/Detailed Description of the Invention section. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) Either method and design of the stretchable retainer (PH) of claim 5, (as described Specification section) will have the same Statement of Claim which consists of: a. The stretchable retainer (PH) of claim 5, is designed to give comfort, peace and rest to both the baby using the unit and the parents/care-giver of the baby without any of them getting stressed; b.
