Well, depending on who you talk to (different people have different opinions) and depending on how they are used, here are some things can be mother substitutes: articifcial nipples -- pacifiers and bottles (both subs for breastfeeding), baby swings (sub for mom's arms/being held), and even carseats (they are necessary when driving, but they could be considered a "mother substitute" when people leave their baby in them for long periods of time when they are not in the car), lovies -- blankies and such (can be sub for mom's presence).

Due to differing family situations, some families may deem these things necessary or very beneficial for their family, so it's a very personal decision as to whether or not one uses these things and in what way.
