***Why do they assume these were for newborn infants? You can’t feed a newborn cow milk***

Good point - the assumption. You cannot feed cow's milk to infants? My memory of ancient practice was, if the mother cannot nurse, they used another lactating woman. Two-year-olds shouldn't need to nurse, should they?

No two year olds shouldn’t need to nurse.

Babies handle most foods by the time they are one.

However I could see these bottles used as a type of sippy cup or what have you for a while.

Give a newborn cow milk and they will usually be in great distress and probably eventually die through diarrhea and malnutritin. They can’t digest it properly if at all.
