The Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at University of New Mexico in Albuquerque has an entire collection of infant feeding artifacts.  It includes a wide variety of bottles, nipples, paladais, nipples of wood and metal, and even a pump that looks a lot like a "bong" where by the mother provides the suction with her own mouth.

If you'd like to see it, you have to make an appointment with the docent because the collection isn't on continuous display.  They'll be happy to retrieve it from storage for you, though.
