"http://www.babybottle-museum.co.uk/murder.html"The not so friendly baby
bottle (murder bottles)  
<The bottles were designed with a integral glass tube, and a stopper.
Attached to the glass tube there was a length of Indian rubber tubing,
which ended with a bone mouth shield and a rubber teat. This design of
bottle was impossible to keep clean and even though openly condemned by
much of the medical profession of the time, continued to sell well into
the 1920's. Much of this popularity was attributed to the fact that the
baby could be left unattended to feed, even before the baby was old
enough to hold the bottle. HYPERLINK

Some things never change!!
 
I can still remember those narrow neck rubber teats that fit over those
Pyrex bottles.  If my kids got bottles in the first few days of their
lives, that is what they got.  None had problems coming back to the
breast.  Maybe we should go back to those bottles when and if babies
need.  
 
Fascinating history of the vast experiment that we call artificial
infant feeding.
Really scary if you ask me.
