My mother-in-law called me concerning the type of pacifier my daughter has. Before reading the story, I was thinking, "Lord, please don't let it be one of Gen's pacifiers." As a mother, this is really scary.
The bateria, Botulism, has been found in some pacifiers made in Mexico. Chupones or pacifiers have honey or corn syrup to make them more pliant and more like a mother’s breast.

Don't worry, my daughter does not have this type of pacifier. I purchase clear tip pacifiers.
