Abstract
A pacifier clip and cover combination includes a clip/cover assembly and a ribbon. The clip/cover assembly includes a cover movable between opened and closed positions and is preferably large enough to fit over and fully cover the nipple portion of a standard pacifier and to therefore protect the nipple from contact with the surrounding environment and keep it clean during storage. The ribbon is attached between the clip/cover assembly and a standard pacifier. Thus, during use, the clip is clipped to an infant's clothing to prevent the pacifier from falling to the ground.
