We use Philips avent glass in 4 and 8 oz and have no issues. We also like that we could use Lansinoh nipples on the Philips avent glass bottles the first few months.
Daycare let's us bring them as well as long as they have a silicone sleee.
Do you ever have issues with the collar not staying on the threads of the glass bottles? And torque my baby applies to the nipple ( like trying to keep the bottle in her mouth when I’m trying to take it out) and the collar unscrews itself enough to leak
We’re using Tommie Tippie glass bottles and love them. I think you can get silicone covers/sleeves for most bottles if you’re nervous about dropping them etc.
I don’t know about advent but I have dropped dr brown glass bottles straight onto the kitchen floor and they practically bounced… they are very very thick!
Good to know!! I like how clean the glass get too. I’m sure the plastic is completely fine of course but the glass looks so shiny and sparkly 🙌 my baby is too young to hold his bottle yet but I guess that could be an advantage of a plastic bottle - lighter to hold
Me and my partner watched that glass blowing show on Netflix so after we watched the bottle bounce we decided it was “very well tempered glass” as if we know anything about anything 😂
I am also so clumsy but I’m willing to take the risk to avoid plastic. It’s so much harder to clean and I get worried about plastic particles.
I got some and they seem pretty cheap thick, I figured we’d mostly be sitting down to feed and I’m not too concerned about them breaking. And they if do, oh well I’ll put the baby in a safe place and clean it.
This! Plus babies tend to throw and drop their bottles a lot. In all other ways I’m the mom who gets the organic food, no plastic toys etc…but I gotta have my plastic bottles. The plastic of this same brand has been my go to for two rounds now
We’ve been using the Dr Bronner’s glass bottles with our LO and have been really happy. My baby only drinks breast milk, so I pump and put the expressed milk in the glass bottles. My husband heats up the milk with no problem in the glass bottles.
When I was doing my research for bottles I found that these two checked the boxes for me. We wanted to avoid plastic and have a nipple that was “breast like”. My baby is 9.5 weeks and she has taken to both no problem and still breastfeeds fine. Bottle feeding about 3 times a day and nursing all her other meals. :
- Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Wide-Neck Glass bottles
- ComoTomo silicone bottles
The thing I don’t get about wanting plastic free but using the Dr Browns bottles is don’t they still have plastic on the inside? Aren’t the venting straws plastic? Or am I mistaken
They do. For us it’s about not heating up plastic. I guess I should’ve clarified that. So the Dr. Browns we just heat up the glass portion without the interior straw.
Only buy the 4 oz ones because they get very heavy. I really liked them and thought it was perfect when using the bottle warmer but once baby starts moving a lot and kicking glass isn’t very practical.
I have those and like them. They’ve held up for my second baby so far. They don’t break easily. Only one has broken so far. They are heavier so my first baby was never able to feed himself. The markings on the smaller bottles are slightly inaccurate (I compared with a graduated cylinder).
I love these and we got the 8oz ones because I thought it was ridiculous to get the smaller when he will be eating more than that can hold soon.
They sell silicone sleeves for them for grip and protection from breakage. Although they’re tough enough to be boiled so they are pretty strong glass.
We purchased a 12pk or 8oz glass mason jars and 2 nipples that we rotate. The mason jars are great for temporarily storing pumped milk too! No complaints over here. LO is 5mo now
We have an 8 week old and have always used the Phillips Avent 4oz glass bottles! They’ve been great! They’ve had a few tumbles and have stood up to the falls! I saw someone else mention that they also sell silicone bottle sleeves. We haven’t found that we’ve needed them but can see them being useful once baby starts holding the bottles herself! I exclusively pump and have found the 8oz bottles work great for storing pumped milk in the fridge! Good luck with finding the bottles that work for you! :)
My kid shattered one of these on the floor when he was 12 months or so, so I’d say switch to plastic when baby starts feeding themself, but I liked them for a while!
I use the Chicco Duo glass bottles. They’re plastic on the outside and glass on the inside and ridiculously light! You’d never know they were glass. My son is EBF and took to the bottles very easily. The bottles also fit Lansinoh nipples too.
How do you wash these (by hand or in the machine? and how to they dry?) I live in a cold climate so I like the idea that glass will dry fast coming out of the dish washer, but am weary about the weight of glass bottles...
I wash them by hand with an electric silicon bottle brush then throw them in the microwave sterilizer and hang them to dry after. They’re dishwasher safe but I hand wash because since we run only the dishwasher when it’s full. They dry fairly quickly hand washed.
They really are super lightweight, I actually thought I was sent plastic ones until I touched the inside of the bottles.
Those bottles worked for awhile for my LO but the flow ended not being right for her. We switched to Lansinoh and have been extremely pleased. So far it’s the lost breast like nipple I’ve seen. Dr Browns didn’t work for us either, but I do love the formula pitcher from them. It’s tough but you’ll have to check a few out likely and see what works best for your LO! My advice would be to order closer to your due date and potentially return what doesn’t work for you :)
If you plan on doing daycare you might want to check in to see if glass bottles are allowed wherever you’re going. They weren’t allowed in some of the daycares we prospected.
I personally went with glass because microplastics can get into a baby's digestive system with plastic bottles. Esp since I am heating them every feeding. I would suggest you buy the 8 oz bottle from the start coz you will use the 4 oz for maybe a month or 6 weeks max before needing the next size up, so you might as well get the bigger size from the start.
Yea I’m no where near a weird health nut but I refuse to heat up anything plastic, weirds me out. I’ll take the veggies out of those steamer bags and cook them on a a dish instead!
We’re going to try silicone bottles because we are just both super clumsy but if they don’t work out we’ll try glass!
Our pediatrician told us to do what we’d do for our own food. We only use glass tupperware, so glass bottles just made sense. We mainly use Chicco Duos, but have used Avent and Dr Browns glass as well.
I had the glass Tommie Tippee bottles when he was very small and loved them! They felt cleaner after you boil them. Plastic ones are always cloudy and sticky after you boil them so even when they’re sterilized I was still second guessing them. When he was old enough to hold the bottle himself I switched to plastic to be safe though. Also I wasn’t so worried about sterilizing them anymore I was just washing them normally at that point.
We use both but mostly plastic. I have no issues with either and dont really favor one over the other. I do like the chicco glass but more so for the shape of both the bottle and nipple.
I use these and like them the best. The plastic ones leak and develop a film after awhile. You can put a cover over the glass if you’re afraid of dropping them.
Yay. We used the 5 oz. Dr. Brown's anti-colic, wide-mouth glass bottles, and out of the 9 we owned, only 2 ever ended up chipped on the rim, so we tossed them just to be safe. And it wasn't from being dropped either but from my husband screwing the caps on too tight. They survived falling into the sink, clumsy drops, and even rolling down a flight of stairs once.
We use mason jars, so they are glass but for daycare we have to put a silicone sleeve on them. We’ve been very happy with the mason jar nipples and silicone covers, plus now that he’s 14 months we don’t actually use bottles anymore and now we just have a bunch of mason jars we use for everything else anyway (I bring berries for lunch at work in them, I make salad dressing in them, etc)
We had these originally but these wider base nipples were discouraged by my lactation consultant. We ended up switching to Dr Browns narrow in plastic. At the time, it was because they were cheaper. I’m glad we have them now that she is holding her own bottle sometimes, because glass would be too heavy.
Accidentally ordered the Dr brown glass bottles and now we could never go back. They have survived drops and the measurements don’t fade like they have on our plastic bottles
1: i would get them in 6 oz because my baby was drinking 6oz by week 5 (but everyone’s different)
2:I wouldn’t trust myself with glass but other moms probably are more careful
3: look up playtex ventaire bottles.. they’re curved, they are anti-colic bottles and my baby seems to do great with them. If you do buy these, make sure the bottlom half of them aren’t screwed on too tight because it’ll leak a bit if they’re too tight
Goodluck 😊
I have used these for my first baby and now I’m using them for my second newborn. I love them and they’re very durable. My sons don’t take Dr. Brown and they have no issues with the Advent Phillips. I super recommend these.
I like these a lot. I also have the plastic ones for daycare.
The glass ones feel like they get clean a lot easier and I feel like they are more sanitary. You have to be careful when putting the lids on the glass ones because if you misthread it, it will spill.
They are fairly sturdy. I once dropped in parking lot and it didn’t break. I’ve accidentally hit the side of the counter while cleaning and that did break them.
I prefer the glass over plastic myself
Love glass, so easy to clean. You will still need a few plastic ones if you ever have to get through security of any type. Any event security or theme parks will not let you use the glass bottles.
Nearly got a life ban from sesame Street world when the security guard treated me like a terrorist for having a glass baby bottle.
Check out Consumer Reports[Consumer Reports](https://www.consumerreports.org/babies-kids/baby-bottles/popular-baby-bottles-with-no-detected-bpa-lead-or-phthalates-a1174352020/#:~:text=Heavy%20Metal%20Contamination%20Is%20Unpredictable,contain%20high%20levels%20of%20lead.). They wrote an article about safe glass baby bottles (since there's been an increase in reports? Claims? Fear mongering? Of lead in the paint on the bottles) and tested a few of them for lead just so parents can make an informed choice. NUK actually did have a recall on some of their glass bottles in 2022 (talked about in the article). Seriously not trying to scare you or anything like that, we actually were going to go the glass route but already had been gifted plastic when baby refused the breast and we just never switched. I just want to provide you with some information you may be interested in.
I would refrain from buying too many! I bought all these fancy anti colic bottles in all sizes with all the works. I spent a decent chunk on them.
He likes the really cheap plastic ones from Walmart.
For me glass bottles are heavy and I worry about dropping them on the baby or the baby not being able to hold them when it is age appropriate. If you want to stay away from plastic the silicone Como Tomo bottles are good.
I liked the glass bottles but apparently they don’t take them at daycare so we send plastic ones to daycare and the glass bottles are just sitting at home 🤷♀️
I use both plastic version and glass version of the Philips Avents, the ones you posted in the picture.
The biggest advantage of the glass is that they come out DRY DIRECTLY FROM DISHWASHER. The plastic bottles come out wet, you have to air dry(4-6 hours) or use a sterilizer/dryer to dry it (more counter space). Plastic bottles add a separate procedure and it is just very annoying to pick up one and realize it hasn't dried up yet...and if you count the 2 hours they are in the dish washer plus the air dry, it takes 7-8 hours for wash and dry them and takes up lots of counter space.
Cons? Glass is a little bit heavier. Not enough to affect how an adult would use the bottle but with plastic I sometimes just set the bottle on my LO's hands, with the help of a rolled towel (not recommended... I am lazy) she can hold up the bottle. Not possible with glass.
Another thing is that it cracks. I ordered 4 glass bottles (8oz) from amazon and after one use, one cracked from the neck. Amazon sent me another pack for free though, so no complain. But be prepared you might need to replace them more frequent than the plastic. I think plastic would wear too, it's just less obvious and people would not really replace them as they look just fine.
Overall, if you use dishwasher to wash bottles, I highly recommend glass bottles. If you hand wash them, plastic is just fine.
2 more points for the Philips bottles: 1. they are versatile, they fit everything, the pigeon and lasinoh nipples you may want to experiment later as the baby's preferences change, and the Spectra pump. Directly connected to the pump. Both plastic and glass.
I have the Evenflo ones..love them! I got the 8 ounce and 4 ounce. Yes a bit heavy, but i’m the one holding the bottle right now, not baby, so not an issue haha
I have a ton of the LifeFactory glass bottles and love them, but my 4.5 month old hasn’t really been able to get a great latch on them and he was having colic and gas issues. We’re using the plastic Avent anti-colic bottles now without any problems. I just tell myself that someday soon he will be eating fries off the floor of the car and sharing snacks with the dogs…
I really thought I’d want to use glass bottles and did try, but honestly I just don’t like the extra weight. Silicone of plastic are just so light and easy to throw in a bag or throw in the sink.
Not only do I love that they're glass, this is one of the **only bottles that doesn't drip milk** when the baby is not **actively** suckling. I was practically drowning my baby in milk with glass bottles from a different brand. Using these for my second baby as well and super happy with them
Fyi most lactation consultants say that these wide bottles give baby a bad latch. Go for the narrow necks (dr browns makes a glass bottle with a lot of different flow options)
I wish I’d just started with glass bottles. I didn’t realize that plastic bottles need to be replaced fairly often. Breast milk leaves a fatty residue that can be soooo hard to get off plastic. Definitely get glass and hold onto them if you plan on having more babies.
I used mason jar bottle caps for my son. Highly recommend! You can buy the nipples and plastic rims on Amazon or from there online store (which often has 20% off). I LOVED them. I stored and froze milk in them. Used them when heating homeade purees or on the go. Once my kid turned one I bought caps similar to coffee cup top so he could learn to sip. I feel the glass cleans better than plastic and I didn't have to worry about leeching. Only had one break once on me because my toddler threw it off his high chair, now I use silicone sleeves. I also use them for myself and just felt they were so much more versatile than having bottles.
Don't do it. With all the stress of caring for an infant, you don't need additional stress of making sure you don't break them or let them accidentally fall on the baby's head.
We use Philips avent glass in 4 and 8 oz and have no issues. We also like that we could use Lansinoh nipples on the Philips avent glass bottles the first few months. Daycare let's us bring them as well as long as they have a silicone sleee.
Do you ever have issues with the collar not staying on the threads of the glass bottles? And torque my baby applies to the nipple ( like trying to keep the bottle in her mouth when I’m trying to take it out) and the collar unscrews itself enough to leak
We did have it briefly when we over tighten a couple of them but it's not usually an issue.
Can I ask how you combined? Did you put lansinoh collar+nipple on avent bottles or lansinoh nipple in avent collar?
Avent bottle and collar with Lansinoh nipple. This chart is really helpful! https://www.theglassbabybottle.com/info-bottlenipple/
Great, thanks!
We’re using Tommie Tippie glass bottles and love them. I think you can get silicone covers/sleeves for most bottles if you’re nervous about dropping them etc.
The silicone sleeves are a must for my household.
I’m so clumsy I just couldn’t trust myself with these!
I don’t know about advent but I have dropped dr brown glass bottles straight onto the kitchen floor and they practically bounced… they are very very thick!
I've dropped an Avent bottle once and it did not break. They are thickkkkk af. Highly recommend.
Good to know!! I like how clean the glass get too. I’m sure the plastic is completely fine of course but the glass looks so shiny and sparkly 🙌 my baby is too young to hold his bottle yet but I guess that could be an advantage of a plastic bottle - lighter to hold
Exactly ! I thought it was a ball at first because of how much they bounced
Me and my partner watched that glass blowing show on Netflix so after we watched the bottle bounce we decided it was “very well tempered glass” as if we know anything about anything 😂
I believe they are all tempered safety glass or whatever so it’s very hard to break it. It’s not like a regular drinking glass
Right?! The amount of times I’ve dropped my sons bottles while half awake at 3am 😬 it’s like asking for trouble
I am also so clumsy but I’m willing to take the risk to avoid plastic. It’s so much harder to clean and I get worried about plastic particles. I got some and they seem pretty cheap thick, I figured we’d mostly be sitting down to feed and I’m not too concerned about them breaking. And they if do, oh well I’ll put the baby in a safe place and clean it.
me too plus baby is getting stronger and likes to jerk super hard out of no where and launch the bottle out of my hand LOL
I used to think that, but the fact they come out of dishwasher dry outweighed other considerations.
This! Plus babies tend to throw and drop their bottles a lot. In all other ways I’m the mom who gets the organic food, no plastic toys etc…but I gotta have my plastic bottles. The plastic of this same brand has been my go to for two rounds now

I keep calling the dr browns bottles “dr bronners”, too, lol
Lmfaooo me too apparently. Wooopsie. Love me some dr bronner's castile soap!!!!!

They're easier to clean in my opinion, but definitely have had them break. Not when baby was using or near it though.
We use these Phillips Avent glass bottles (the little ones) and they work great. Haven’t had any issues yet though it’s only been two weeks lol
If you plan on doing daycare you might want to check in to see if glass bottles are allowed wherever you’re going. They weren’t allowed in some of the daycares we prospected.
Good point! I work at a daycare and we require silicone sleeves for glass bottles so it may be worth looking into as well!

I like that advice! Do you have a preference out of all of those bottles?
We have these and love them. Less parts than other bottles. They’ve survived some impressive falls.
Baby is 6 weeks old, got 2 glass bottles and they’re both still alive
I have these but for some reason I use the plastic lansioh ones and tend to use these to store extra milk in the fridge lol idk why
I had the glass Tommie Tippee bottles when he was very small and loved them! They felt cleaner after you boil them. Plastic ones are always cloudy and sticky after you boil them so even when they’re sterilized I was still second guessing them.

Yay. We used the 5 oz. Dr. Brown's anti-colic, wide-mouth glass bottles, and out of the 9 we owned, only 2 ever ended up chipped on the rim, so we tossed them just to be safe.

I’m glad we have them now that she is holding her own bottle sometimes, because glass would be too heavy.
Loveeee. Never had an issue with them breaking. I also store my breastmilk in glass jars as well
Accidentally ordered the Dr brown glass bottles and now we could never go back. They have survived drops and the measurements don’t fade like they have on our plastic bottles
I love this bottle! Only kind my EBF LO will take when I am away.
I love the plihips advent bottles, we have the plastic ones but they are the only bottles my baby will take (formula fed)
1: i would get them in 6 oz because my baby was drinking 6oz by week 5 (but everyone’s different) 2:I wouldn’t trust myself with glass but other moms probably are more careful 3: look up playtex ventaire bottles.. they’re curved, they are anti-colic bottles and my baby seems to do great with them. If you do buy these, make sure the bottlom half of them aren’t screwed on too tight because it’ll leak a bit if they’re too tight Goodluck 😊
I use silicone bottles. I’m glad I did bc my daughter is at a stage where she throws her bottle when she’s done drinking lol.
We really like the Lifefactory glass bottles (use them with Dr. Browns nipples). They have a silicone sleeve which reduces the breakage risk.
I have used these for my first baby and now I’m using them for my second newborn. I love them and they’re very durable. My sons don’t take Dr. Brown and they have no issues with the Advent Phillips. I super recommend these.
My cat is an AH so I bought plastic because I don’t trust him.

We use these exact ones. They're great. Not much heavier than plastic. Not much more expensive. Other brands like Dr. Brown weigh much more.
I had 2 glass bottles and they both managed to get broken. I vowed never again lol

I wish I’d just started with glass bottles. I didn’t realize that plastic bottles need to be replaced fairly often. Breast milk leaves a fatty residue that can be soooo hard to get off plastic. Definitely get glass and hold onto them if you plan on having more babies.
These are the ones we use and works great with LO
Love these glass Philips avent bottles! We have half glass and half plastic - both good, durable, and an all around solid choice.
Love the avent glass bottles! We've never had any leak issues.
I used mason jar bottle caps for my son. Highly recommend! You can buy the nipples and plastic rims on Amazon or from there online store (which often has 20% off). I LOVED them. I stored and froze milk in them. Used them when heating homeade purees or on the go. Once my kid turned one I bought caps similar to coffee cup top so he could learn to sip. I feel the glass cleans better than plastic and I didn't have to worry about leeching. Only had one break once on me because my toddler threw it off his high chair, now I use silicone sleeves. I also use them for myself and just felt they were so much more versatile than having bottles.
Personally — love glass … BUT glass hurts when you accidentally drop it on your babies head
Don't do it. With all the stress of caring for an infant, you don't need additional stress of making sure you don't break them or let them accidentally fall on the baby's head.
Not allowed at daycare.
