Medieval Slavs made feeding bottles by attaching leather bags to the wider part of cow horns. A baby drank the milk from a hole made on the tip of a horn.

Elsewhere using (ram) horns, the Jews made Shofar trumpets. ... Leather bags? Maybe the first bagpipe was a Shofar-maker gone to the dark side. (Sorry, Sionnsar, LOL)

No mention of how Rube Goldberg might have helped his wife with nursery matters.

Cows. They make ice cream and steak! Good for the baby, great on a plate.

If there were not enough feeding bottles to go around, it would be interesting to see which one of the infants would horn in to be first on the feeding line.

From Hamlet:

“This business is well ended.
My liege, and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
Why day is day, night night, and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night, day and time.
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief:...”
