Title
Glass feeding bottle, England, 1858-1900
Description

Henry Edwards, an inventor, patented this type of feeding bottle in 1858. It was used to feed infants and invalids and to apply medical treatments. The design means that air is not sucked into the horn-shaped bottle when food is given. If babies swallow air while feeding it can contribute towards colic, a common condition which affects many babies. The mouthpiece points downwards to make it easier to feed infants and patients who are lying down.

maker: Unknown maker

Place made: England, United Kingdom
