Women have indeed earned more opportunities since the 1800s. But as it did stand, the typical role of a woman in any family was a lot of chores. A farmer’s wife’s job consisted of cooking on a wooden stove, plucking chicken, wove clothes, making cheese, milking cows, making soap, and gathering water from an outside well. And on top of all of that, care and tend to her children and husband. Women who weren’t married worked in cotton and woolen mills and often took refuge in company boarding houses which consisted of six women in one room, two women to a bed.
Bottle fed babies are able to be fed by anyone, and not just their mother. This allows for help to be provided when needed for a busy mother. Newborns often need to bed fed every two to four hours, which can put a lot of pressure on a mother when she has other duties to tend to. Therefore, if someone is available to help feed the baby with a bottle then this can allow the mother to carry out other necessary tasks. If you plan to return to work after the baby is born, bottle feeding is an attractive option because anybody can help feed the baby.
