Pacifier retention apparatus

Abstract

In some embodiments, a pacifier retention apparatus includes a pacifier mount configured to couple a wristband to a pacifier, the pacifier mount including a pacifier mount base and a pacifier securing strap. The pacifier securing strap may be a silicone strap with an T shaped attachment member and a T shaped receiving cavity. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the pacifier retention apparatus includes a silicone material. The silicone material may have a Shore hardness that resists breakage when pulled during mounting, during use, or both, maintains shape to a degree sufficient to resist detachment during use, and provides a degree of stretch accommodating a range of pacifier sizes, pacifier shield aperture configurations, or both. The securing strap may be configured to pass through one or more pacifier shield apertures and to withdraw from the one or more pacifier shield apertures upon an occurrence of a detachment event.
