When were baby bottles invented?

Question

What year and who invented them.How did women feed their children before they were invented.

Answer 1

Horns were used to artifically feed babies in the middle ages. In 17th centaury Europe, leather or wood feeding bottles were used. In the 18th and 19th century pap boats and cups were a popular feeding utensil. Pap boats, feeding cups and suckling bottles of the 1880's were made by many of the leading potteries, such as Wedgwood.

The ceramic suckling bottles of the late 18c and early 19c were difficult to clean, this became a little better when the glass blowers copied the design to produce free blown bottles of the same shape.

The big breakthrough was the invention of the double-ended feeder by Allen and Hanbury in 1894. The 1950's saw the introduction of the popular narrow neck heat resistant upright Pyrex models.

Answer 2

Tea Bee gave a very good answer as to how bottles were first invented. Before that women nursed their babies. If for some reason a woman was unable or unwilling to nurse, a wet-nurse was found to feed the child. This was often a woman who had recently had a baby and was lactating. In America in the south often times slaves nursed their owners children.
