Here's some information about this type of bottle:

Design and Features:

These bottles were typically made of glass, often with a curved or "banjo" shape, and featured embossed markings like "GRADUATED" and "HUSH-A-BYE". They were designed for self-feeding, often including a long rubber tube and teat that allowed the baby to feed without constant holding, freeing up the caregiver's hands.

Historical Context:

While marketed for convenience, these bottles became infamous due to hygiene issues. The design with internal tubes and porous rubber components made them exceedingly difficult to clean and sterilize effectively, leading to rapid bacterial growth.

Health Implications:

The widespread use of these unhygienic bottles contributed significantly to high infant mortality rates during the Victorian era, earning them grim nicknames like "Murder Bottles" or "The Killer," due to the prevalence of gastric infections and other diseases in infants using them.

Decline in Use:

Despite their popularity, the dangers became increasingly recognized by the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bans were eventually placed on such bottles in some areas, and improved, more easily cleaned designs emerged, though some continued to be used into the 1920s.
