Completion of certain forms are required to begin or complete a legal procedure. Most of these forms are the same throughout California and can be obtained at any Superior Court or directly from the state website at http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms.
, I'm a Speech Language Pathologist with experience in pediatrics. The simple answer is that pacifiers provide oral stimulation much like a nipple, which is something infants crave since it is their method of feeding. Though there's more to it than just the physical sensation.
My children have their pacifiers until around age three. At one year we limit it to naps and betime. The only time they walk around with it is when they are out and about and super tired or not feeling well and laying around the house. My children do not have it in their mouth 24/7. I let them get rid of it in their own time.
