PACIFIER
A pacifier isn't a substitute for nurturing or feeding, of course, but if your baby is still fussy after you've fed, burped, cuddled, rocked, and played with her, you might want to see if a pacifier will satisfy her.

There's another benefit to using a pacifier: Some studies have shown that babies who use pacifiers at bedtime and nap time have a lower risk of  sudden infant death syndrome. These studies don't show that the pacifier itself prevents SIDS, just that there's a strong association between pacifier use and a lower risk of SIDS.

Also, a pacifier habit is easier to break than a thumb-sucking habit.Pacifier use may increase the risk of middle ear infections in babies and young children.
