Best Answer

Babies like pacifiers because of the natural instinct to suck the mother's nipple, which the pacifier resembles. This helps them calm down, as it activates the feeling of being cared for. This is also found in thumb-sucking, as the child's thumb is the best candidate to replace the nipple when there is no pacifier.

What do baby like?

Most mammal babies like the same things. They like being warm, next to their mom, being fed, being licked/given a bath by their mom and being talked to. Human babies like to make things happen, usually making something move, and watch what happens. They like colorful, moving things. And, I believe, they like to see things they've never seen before because they are naturally curious.
