Glass baby bottles - Are we going back in time? Well, yes and no. While the debate goes on about the safety of polycarbonate bottles and whether BPA-free bottles are the answer, you can’t go wrong with glass bottles. They don’t leak or absorb any chemicals whatsoever.
The problem with glass baby bottles was that during that 4 a.m. feeding when they slipped out of a “I’m really not awake” hand and hit the floor - they broke. Well, just like the new diaper systems, glass baby bottles just went through a redesign phase.
We’ve listed some details below and also have a “where to buy” shopping page for Glass Baby Bottles.
One of the results is the Babylife Wee-Go Baby Bottle.
Here is what we found out about them: They are made out of glass and and a silicone non-toxic sleeve that both provides for a good grip and makes them very breakage resistant. The bottle and the sleeve can be boiled or put in the dishwasher together. The silicone nipple should be hand-washed and is also latex-free and non-toxic. The plastic ring, plug and cap contain no polycarbonates and are food grade, FDA approved and recyclable. The cap and ring should be hand washed only. This bottle is bisphenol A, phthalate, PVC and polycarbonate-free. The Wee-Go glass baby bottles are available in six colors and 4oz. and 9oz. sizes.
There are also other glass baby bottles:
Siliskin Glass Bottle by Silikids
These bottles use the Evenflo Classic clear glass nurser and a silicone sleeve. The sleeve allows baby to grab, hold and avoid slippage when feeding from the glass bottle. They are microwave safe, dishwasher safe and hypo allergenic. The translucent silicone sleeve allows you to see measurements and how much liquid still remains in the bottle. Available in 4oz. and 8oz.
BornFree Glass Bottles
The BornFree nipples are extremely soft and gentle for your baby to suckle and are available in 5 flow rates to suit babies from 0-18 months. Due to the unique BornFree valve, the nipples prevent the hard suckling needed with conventional bottles. The air vent also helps eliminate colic symptoms such as gas and spit-up by reducing the build up of vacuum and is also medically acknowledged to reduce the risk of middle ear infection. The unique inner valve prevents side-leaks, and unlike other vented bottles, allows you to shake freely when mixing. Available in 5oz. and 9oz.
Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow glass baby bottle
There is the Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow glass baby bottle that features a patented internal vent system. This vent eliminates the air bubbles and vacuum effect to allow positive-pressure feeding with no air - similar to breast-feeding. Available in 3.5oz and 7oz. sizes.
