Abstract
The present disclosure describes a pacifier having both teething elements and suction elements in addition to a traditional pacifier nipple. This allows for a multi-functional device that can both soothe a child when upset as well as provide relief when teething. Further, the suction element limits or prevents loss of the pacifier throughout the course of the day when not in use by the child, as the pacifier can be suctioned or adhered to a surface and remain in place until needed.
