'Artificial milk foods developed and marketed with the aim of ensuring ideal nutritional conditions for human infants were one of the most iconic commercial corollaries of the domestic-science movement.

'The Mongolian practice of preserving milk by leaving it out in the sun had been industrialized in Europe during the nineteenth century, and many different varieties of the foodstuffhad been developed and marketed as aids to maternal care.

'It is significant that Lactol was developed not by the biggest dog-food manufacturers of the early 1900s but by A. F. Sherley & Co., a firm specializing in canine medicinal products. In putting forward the new product, the company followed a long succession of medical companies that had identified maternal nutrition as anarea with commercial potential. [note: 'Appel [sic], Mothers and Medicine, 5–16; D’Antonio, “Shopping for the Ballin Baby.”'] By the late nineteenth century, upper-middle-class British women had been identified as an increasingly significant section of the consuming population. A plethora of medical products now emerged that promised to supplement or completely replace mothers’ milk. Moral prohibitions on wet nursing had left those whose own milk was insufficiently nutritious or bountiful facing the specter of the infant starvation that (it was increasingly understood) was rife among those below them on the social scale.
