🍼Slaughter bottles

In the era of Victorianism, many mothers preferred not to breastfeed their children, but to water them from special bottles. These bottles were the most modern at that time and had a rubber nipple and a thin rubber tube.
However, as it turned out, they had a serious problem that no one noticed: the rubber tube was very difficult to clean, which made it a real nursery of bacteria. In addition, in those days it was recommended to wash the bottles only once every two or three weeks.
As a result, these baby bottles caused the death of many children, for which they received their ominous nickname.
