title: [Elimination of the pacifier habit].
abstract: Use of the baby pacifier or sucker has been the subject of controversy, due to the serious consequences that such habit may bring upon the infant. Different theoretical points of view have been set forth as to why should a child need such an object. Methods used by parents in an attempt to make the baby stop sucking a comforter go from passive suggestion to aggressive menace, sometimes carried out in reality.
