Artificial feeding spread alongside breastfeeding throughout the entire Mediterranean region; The woman who was unable to breastfeed her child had two choices: Either she brought a paid wet nurse, who had certain specifications and must adhere to certain rules, or she breastfed her child through feeding bottles, which varied in forms and types, whether in Greece or its colonies in southern Italy, as well as in Egypt during the beginning of the fifth century until the end of the first century BC. This research aims to identify these different shapes and different purposes for which they were made. The research also answers many questions related to the materials of its manufacture and whether its shape differed in the original Greece from the shapes that were used in the Greek colonies, especially southern Italy and Sicily, as well as the developments that occurred to it in Ptolemaic Egypt, or was it the Greek shapes that remained in use in Ptolemaic Egypt? Was it associated with feeding children only or was it used for adults as well? Where were they found and did they bear inscriptions or not?.
