Glass Bottles

tayrherbst · September 2013

Hello ladies!

My husband and I are starting to look into bottles (something just little, I know) .. Anyways, have any of you ladies used glass bottles vs. plastic? If so what are the differences between them? And what would you reccommend?

Thanks!

Glass scares me. What if baby drops it? Or you drop it? I would go with BPA free plastic bottles. I would get only a few of each to see which nipple LO prefers.

I used glass occasionally, there really was no difference or benefit to me. I stopped using them when DD was old enough to hold it herself because I didn't want her to drop them.

FTM here but I'm going with a few of each to start. I'm going to try the Avent Natural line, as they claim to be breast feeding friendly. I registered for a starter set of the plastic which includes 3 sm and 2 large bottles, and seperately registered for 3 additional small glass bottles.

I like the idea of glass, but I don't know if Ill like the glass once LO is old enough to hold the bottle herself for reasons others mentioned.

We registered for both, but mostly glass. Plastic scares me, and believe it or not glass bottles are very sturdy. I'm sure we will be switching when it is necessary to do so.

Plastic scares me. They took out the BPA but what did they put in its place??? If you get glass, get the kind with the silicone sleeve to reduce breakage.

There are silicon sleeves available to fit around glass bottles. The reviews I've read about them pretty much all say the glass is strong & will not shatter if its dropped. Another bonus to glass (besides chemical/environmental) is they will last longer than plastic so youll be able to use them with future children too. I'm a first time mama but for what it's worth, I'm using born free glass bottles with the sleeves.

I plan to use glass. I just prefer the idea of glass vs plastic though I used plastic with my son. They make the glass bottles very sturdy and they make the silicone sleeves.

I have a number of glass water bottles for DD that can be converted to bottles for this LO. Other than that, I'm going to use Dr. Browns unless for some reason LO doesn't like them.

I got Dr. Brown's, Tommee Tippee and one other kind I'm forgetting now -- two of each, just to see what works the best. All glass, only one kind came with silicone sleeves, but the sleeves can be bought separately for all. We're a low-plastics kind of household, though.

BRU sells them in stores and online and Target sells them online. Target may sell them in stores but not at the one close to me.

I used born free glass bottles and had no issues

I just used BPA-free plastic bottles (the vast majority are these days). Glass is heavier and I also worried about the possibility of it breaking. DD actually took really well to the Medela bottles so I mostly used those -- super convenient too because I could just pump directly into the bottle if I wanted to. I'll use those again, plus I have 1 or 2 other types in case this LO has a different preference.
