Glass bottles?

unaveragejane · December 2011

I hope this is the right board to ask about this...

I am thinking about using glass baby bottles. From what I have read in reviews, it looks like there can be some leakage issues. Have any of you tried glass bottles? If so, how did you like them? What are the pros and cons in your opinion?

I have three children and have been using the same set of glass Evenflo bottles for over four years now. I've never had one break despite having dropped them on many different surfaces, including concrete. I've also never had leakage issues -but I use evenflo nipples and rings with my bottles. The one time I tried to use a medela ring and nipple it leaked.

Also, if you're using a Medela pump, the Evenflo glass bottles fit right onto the horns. It works nicely.

I use Evenflo glass bottles. Cheap and sturdy and fit on Medela breastpumps. Never had a leak.

This. They also fit my lansinoh pump.

This as well. However, my son likes the Tommie Tippie nipples better,so we use those 90% of the time on the few times he does get a bottle.

We've used BornFree glass bottles. I have not had a single leak. I'm pretty hard on my stuff. I don't take any special care or do anything. They just don't leak. :-) We've been really happy with them. I like that I bought the bottles and now that she's more into the tippy cups all I have to do is get the soft spouts and switch the nipple to the spout and add the handles. It's pretty easy.
