Glass bottles

  I have some Dr. Brown's glass bottles, but rarely use them.  I wasn't sure daycare would want glass so we went with the plastic instead for them.  They don't mimic the breast though, for that we have Tommie Tippie, but again they're plastic.  Luckily, both of my kids didn't have a problem switching between the different nipples/breast.
  
  Good luck!!

  I use born free glass bottles. Our daycare doesn't do glass so I have to send plastic there.

  I started out with some glass bottles from Dr Browns. Have to say I was underwhelmed and ended up switching to all plastic within a month. I have twins that I usually feed simultaneously and the glass was a lot heavier and bulky. Hard to hold both at once without strain. There were a few near misses where I almost bopped my LOs on the head when I fumbled them (especially when they start moving their hands more and knocking the bottles with them). With a singleton, I'm sure it's more manageable but be careful of multitasking while feeding.

  I use Tommee Tippee glass and send the same brand to daycare but plastic.

  My daughter is using Tommee Tippee glass bottles. Before we used Phillips avent glass but I like TT much better. They are easier for my DD to suck and the glass is not that heavy so they warm up faster. However, avent bottles are shock proof, I dropped mine many time onto hard surfaces and nothing happened. I am not sure how TT hadles shock but I read some bad reviews about Born Free bottles shattering. Also, I like glass bottles a lot better: 1) faster warming time 2)plastic bottlea begin to smell after somr time, especially when you start giving other liquids to the baby.
  Also, if you are going ti breastfeed I don't think any of these are good transitions. My daughter stopped taking the breast after taking bottles so I had to exlusively pump. When I started noticing that she is fussy around breast, I bought a Medela calma bottle and she started taking the breast again. However, there was a lot of leaking (once the baby sicks the milk will not go into the bottle) and I felt like she was to gassy so I switched to Kiinde nipples (they have a whole pumping system) . I liked those better and the gas was better but I felt like she was getting tired too fast and eating less. So I gave up and switched to Avent and then she stopped taking breast .

  Hello!
  
  Just checking in here as I'm also considering glass bottles. We will be welcoming our third baby next month and I plan to breastfeed. But just in case breastfeeding isn't successful, or whenever we have to alternately use baby bottles (since I'm working), I'd like to try the glass bottles mainly due to their health benefits.
  
  I have used Pigeon PP bottles on my 1st and 2nd child and they worked really great, we had no major problems with them. So, I want to try these glass bottles from Pigeon too, hope it will work as great as their PP ones! Anyone here have tried these? What are your thoughts?
  
  Thanks!

  Hi, We use the Dr Browns glass ones and they are absolutely fine! 
  I'd love to have the glass bottles over the plastic ones anyday due to issues of phylates. 
  Hope this helps

  I started out with Dr. Brown’s narrow nipple glass bottles. We switched to Lansinoh glass bottles and I think the nipple is much better for a breastfed baby. My baby seems to like them better as well. And despite the Dr. Brown’s bottle design supposedly reducing air intake, I found Lansinoh worked better with that as well.
