Why wasn't latex available for so long?

Latex - Frequently Asked Question - FloBeds.com
It was used in bedding and autos until the introduction of urethane. The large manufacturers of latex were primarily interested in automotive foam, and as urethane replaced latex in car seats, they dropped out of the market. Latex is heavier than urethane, and costs more to produce. In car seats, the extra weight becomes a problem for those worried about gas mileage. (Cheaper also made detroit happy;)

My baby has a latex allergy. Is this pacifier made of latex?

FAQs at Cloth Diaper Outlet
No! This pacifier is made of silicone. Also, it is medical grade and given out by many hospitals nationwide in their nurseries. Here's what I do: warm a couple of tablespoons of water in the microwave. Drop in one Baby Bit. Stir it until it dissolves. Add enough cool water to make one cup. The hot water helps it to dissolve faster, but the cool water makes it so you can use it right away (if you're like me, you've waited until you need it right NOW to make it!).
