A pacifier and a method of making a pacifier. Two or more separate silicone-based materials are joined together with a compression mold such that the pacifier defines a unitary structure where gaps and related crevices associated with multi-piece pacifier construction are avoided while still permitting artwork, differing colors or other aesthetically-pleasing indicia. In one form, one grade of silicon may be utilized in a region of the pacifier that is placed within a baby's or child's mouth, while another grade of silicone material may be used in a region of the pacifier that is not normally associated with placement within a baby's or child's mouth. The aesthetically-pleasing indicia that is formed in or on the pacifier is achieved without recourse to painting, labels, appliques, embossing, decals, stickers or other affixable or markable medium.
