Anyone who ever had a baby will not be surprised that prehistoric parents used all their creativity and craftsmanship to develop techniques which made it possible for someone other than the mother to feed the child.
According to Wikipedia, they still used cow horns filled with milk and hang above the crib in Scandinavia in the 18th century [0].

Sometimes babies don't figure out breastfeeding and die. That's why formula was, in theory, invented. (maybe something about the industrial revolution which required mom's to be away from their children)
