Abstract
There is provided a one-piece pacifier that has two substrates in which the second or outer substrate overmolds onto the first or inner substrate. The two substrates for the pacifier form a shield for the pacifier. The outer substrate forms the pacifier's nipple. The pacifier is made by forming a plurality of holes in the inner substrate and overmolding the outer substrate onto the inner substrate to form a nipple and a shield for the pacifier.
