Our World: Antique Baby Bottles


Have you ever seen baby bottles like these?  I never had until I saw them at the Museum Bai Jeddah, located down in Jeddah's old historic district called Al Balad.  With nipples on both ends, I was miffed and intrigued.

These antique baby bottles were named after the word for "boat" in Arabic because of their shape.  Either nipple could be used for drinking, but the extra nipple allowed for refilling the bottle without interrupting the baby and could also release air trapped inside the bottle.

  3. That's a genius idea. Wish I could have had some of those double nipple bottles (for my first-born we were still using glass bottles here).
    Thanks for showing us, Susie.

  4. That is interesting. More than one way to solve a problem.
