[edit]A teething pacifier system provides a teething pacifier that, placed in an infant's mouth and without re-orienting, acts as a cooled teether and then gradually becomes pacifier-like in accordance with natural infant tiring. The system includes a supple yet durable tubular teething pacifier containing a freezable fluid, preferably distilled water. An integral reservoir provides for fluid expansion during freezing and for fluid runoff such that the integral nipple becomes collapsible and otherwise pacifier-like as the fluid thaws. In a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a flexible pocket strip and a carrying pouch. The pocket strip orients and protects one or more teething pacifiers during freezing while molding to available freezer space. After freezing and where continued cooling is not needed, the pocket strip can be carried directly or affixed to the outside of the carrying pouch. Where a longer time may elapse prior to use, the pocket strip can be placed inside the carrying pouch along with conventional ice packs. In addition to insulating and cooling frozen teething pacifiers, the carrying pouch can also be used to carry other articles. Preferably the carrying pouch is flexible for occupying minimal space when carried directly or when placed inside another bag or carrying container. [3]
