Chupones... My daughter had a bad pacifier habit. Yes, that's what they cost. Actually, that isn't bad.

In Mexico there are pacifiers that have honey in them to encourage the babies to suck on them. The nipples for the bottles are sold according to amount of fluid that can come through at a time. I would think that would be "flujo".

I often get confused with mamila. People seem to use it interchangeably for bottle and formula. I've also noticed that some of the many terms for nipple and pacifier are used interchangeably, so maybe that is what is happening here.

Just as an FYI, there are/were liquid-filled pacifiers - the concept being, as I recall, that they could be chilled, to sooth the gums of a teething child. Many have been recalled, because they could leak.

Agree with reed I don't see how a pacifier can have "fluido normal". Maybe we can narrow it down by knowing the country of origin...

Reed James Nov 20, 2010:

I get the impression that it is the part of the baby bottle you screw on that the baby sucks on: the cap. It does say, after all, "fluido normal". There is no fluido in a pacifier.
