Jeremy,
I have a list of a number of references to baby bottles (often referred to
as nursing bottles). In Glen Preble's "The Rise and Demise of Colorado
Drugstores, 1859-1915, published in 2002, the author shows pictures of a
number of popular nursing bottle designs of the 19th century and considers
the sanitation problems associated with bacterial contaminants. He stated
that "Safe, clean and practical rubber nipples were not widely available
until about 1900." There also has been a number of articles on nursing
bottles by collectors, including one by Thomas N. Tomaneck "The History of
Nursing Bottles" in Antique Bottles and Glass Collector 19:20 (2003), which
sites six books on the subject, including one that might have the
information you are seeking- Waldo E. Nelson's "Nelson Textbook of
Pediatrics," 1996. This book refers to The American Collector's of Infant
Feeders and their website: www.ACIF.org.
