Victorian Baby Bottles

Does anyone know the name of the bottles in Victorian times that were the cause of many infant deaths. Essentially, the bottle was attached by a rubber tube. Often the bottles were not sterilized and the infant would die. Is there a name for the bottles?

Did anyone see that program last night about witch bottles? If you think a witch has put a curse on you, you piss in a bottle and add bent nails. Then you heat it in the fire. The witch is afflicted with burning pain and the feeling that she's trying to pass nails each time she takes a slash. They found a witch bottle with three hundred year old pish in it!

I do not know what the Victorian baby bottles are called, sorry.
