- I have a strong preference for ALT0, but "milk set" is probably something a lot of folks aren't going to be familiar with. The likely item is something along the lines of a porcelain baby feeder like the one I've linked to, with a matching cup along the lines of the one I've linked to. (That's actually a moustache cup but the idea is the same -- it's the precursor to a sippy cup that slows down the baby while they're learning to drink from a cup). We don't have an article on milk set and probably we should to provide something to link to? Or we could link to Baby_bottle#History? Or simply change to "a gift"?

Onegreatjoke, also pinging GA reviewer SusunW, who may have some idea of whether we might be able to create a stub for "milk set"? I'm on the road right now but would probably be able to do some research between Nov3-7, when I'll be in one place for several days. Valereee (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke and Valereee: A bit of searching provides nothing that explains what would have been in a milk set and the term itself brings up lots of modern sources about baby makeup and milk supplies or a cream/sugar set as part of a tea set, so not helpful. The photos in this article are amazing, but it still gives no clue as to what might have been included in such a set. My analysis is there isn't enough to write a separate article and it would probably best be piped to baby bottle history. SusunW (talk) 14:13, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Thebiguglyalien: do you know what the article means by milk set? Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:17, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Onegreatjoke The source does not elaborate, and other sources I looked at were equally unhelpful. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 18:06, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
with piped link in ALT0, ALT1 also approved. Valereee (talk) 16:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Valereee and Onegreatjoke: what about
