Long description

Image of a newspaper advertisement promoting the Hygeia nursing bottle. The Hygeia bottle is on the left and is illustrated as a wide-necked container with a rubber teat; its use is recommended because of its ‘open-mouthed’ design. This is compared with a narrow-necked bottle on the right, which is accompanied by a warning that this type of bottle should not be used. In the centre of the advert is the picture of a crying baby sitting in his or her feeding chair. The advertisement text warns of the dangers lurking in ‘the narrow, hard-to-clean neck of baby’s bottle’, and extols the Hygeia bottle as ‘always safe’.
