I can't remember who the inquirer was, but Naomi posted a list of several books for her.  A PubMed or Medline search will find journal articles, too, of which there are some useful ones. Try:
 Wickes IG. Arch Dis Child 1953; 128: 151. [and the various parts]
Follow up the references in the texts already mentioned, too.  The ones Kathy Dettwyler and Naomi listed are excellent places to start.  The books by Valerie Fildes, Rima Apple, and Janet Godden, already cited by others, are well worth getting your hands on, even if the former is out of print.
  Is the topic artificial baby milk (manufactured mik)? or is it artificial feeding going back into the distant past, where a variety of different substitute foods were given, some of them farinaceous, rather than milk-based.
  Two old, out-of-print books by non-historians for reading for pleasure are;
Haskell A, Lewis M. Infantilia: the archaeology of the nursery. London: Dennis Dobson, 19971 (for the drawings of recepticles such as pap-boats, ancient bottles and 'bubby pots'.)
Levin S.  A philosophy of infant feeding. Springfield, IL: Charles C. Thomas, 1963.
   There are sources that are more academic, but these are a good read - if you can find a library that still has them. Go for teh references in the texts cited, and a PubMed or Medline search.
