Best Glass Baby Bottles

Best Glass Baby Bottles

If you’re thinking about going glass, you’re not alone. Glass baby bottles are eco-friendly, durable, and ultra-safe for babies. Your fears of BPA, melting plastic, and toxins in your baby’s milk can be resolved by making the switch to glass baby bottles. If you’re a glass bottle veteran, just looking for the newest releases, skip down to our top ten list. If you’re new to the game, we’ll go over the basics in our intro guide.

An Introduction to Glass Baby Bottles

Glass baby bottles are great for the environment and your baby, but if you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, you’re not alone. Glass bottles are more expensive than plastic bottles, and no one will gladly hand their baby anything glass without a second thought. In this intro, we’ll go into the best reasons to “go glass” and how to pick out the right glass baby bottle for you.

Why Glass?

Glass isn’t just trendy. Glass baby bottles have some serious benefits for your baby and your wallet.

Plastic has been the wonder child of manufacturing for some time, but it definitely has its downsides. Most companies go to great pains to manufacture BPA-free plastics, but if you’ve ever watched your baby bottles turn yellow with concern, you’re not alone.

The older plastic gets, the more likely it is to break down and release harmful chemicals into your milk or formula. Frequent heating, boiling, and sterilizing only speed up this process.

Glass bottles are a great way to avoid this headache from the start. Glass doesn’t break down and release toxins, and it is durable and longer lasting than most plastics. For a deeper look at the safety comparisons of glass and plastic, stick around after our top ten list (or skip on down to our guide now)!

Choosing Your Glass Bottle

When you buy a glass bottle, you want it to work well, fit your needs, and last for long enough to justify the increased cost. We’ll run through a quick guide for picking out your perfect glass bottle.

Size

For a baby younger than four months, you’ll want a 4-5 oz bottle. After four months, your baby will begin eating more in one sitting, so you’ll want to switch to an 8 or 9 oz bottle.

Nipple Type

A carefully chosen nipple type is key to preventing nipple confusion (which we’ll get into more in our full guide). Nipple types are sold in different stages: 0 for newborns, 1 for 0-3 months, 2 for 3-6 months, and 3 for 6 months and up. We’ll also explain how nipple stages work in our full guide.

You’ll also want to consider the speed at which the liquid comes out of the nipple, also called the “flow.” Slow flow nipples are for babies three months and younger, medium flow works for babies up to one year old, and fast flow nipples are for babies three months or older. A slow flow nipple is generally recommended as the best entry into bottle feeding if your child is under three months old.

Shape

Depending on what feeding experience you want, you may want an ergonomic bottle or a straight and slim bottle. For baby, you may prefer a narrow neck or a wide, breast-shaped neck.

Durability

You’ll want your glass bottles to hold up to everyday wear and tear and last long enough to justify their cost. You also want to avoid bottles that may break around your baby.

Extra Features

Compatibility, anti-colic features, color options, and more can help you personalize your bottle for your needs.

And without further ado, let’s dive into the best ten glass baby bottles of 2021.

Top 10 Best Glass Baby Bottles 2023

1. Best Overall Glass Bottle: Phillips Avent Glass Bottles

Phillips Avent Glass Bottles

Why we like it: This simple but effective design is comforting to both breastfeeding and bottle-fed babies, with a wide surface and non-collapsing spiral design.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 4 oz, 8 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1, Slow Flow

Shape

These glass bottles have a pleasing, ergonomic shape. The glass is gently curved for your comfort and baby’s comfort when they are able to support the bottle.

The nipple of this baby bottle is wide and ultra-soft to help breastfed babies comfortably use bottles without nipple confusion. The petal design is soft and comforting for easy feeding and latching.

Durability

This bottle is made of borosilicate glass. It is thermal and shock resistant, so mommies can freeze and easily warm milk without fear of cracking the glass. Borosilicate glass can withstand bumps and some falls, but investing in a bottle cover can help protect your bottle set from fall damage.

All glass bottles will leak some, because plastic is softer than glass and can form a more air-tight seal, while glass is difficult to seal. The seal on this cap is tough, and Phillips Avent is one of the better glass bottles for preventing leakage.

This bottle is microwave-safe and can be machine washed on the top rack. Its simple design makes cleanup fairly easy.

Extra Features

Phillips Avent Glass Bottles are compatible with most Spectra pumps and all Avent accessories. With an adaptor, these bottles are compatible with all pumps except Nuk, Hygaea, Freemie, and Lansinoh pumps. It features measurements on the side so you can easily prepare just the right amount for your baby.

Avent bottles also use an innovative ventilation system to avoid colic, by venting air bubbles without using a complicated, difficult to clean venting straw. Milk or formula pours under and around the vent without covering the vent hole. Air bubbles stay out of the milk, and out of baby’s stomach, decreasing gas, bloating or discomfort.

This system isn’t quite as effective as our top pick for colicky babies, but it’s a great way to simplify your burping routine.

Pros

  • Easy to clean anti-colic vent
  • Strong bottle-to-lid seal
  • High compatibility
  • Comfortable bottle shape for your hands
  • Wide top is perfect for natural feeding and breastfeeding babies

Cons

  • May need a bottle cover to avoid breakage

2. Best Colic-Busting Bottle: Dr. Brown’s Wide-Neck Options+ Glass Bottles

Dr. Brown’s Wide-Neck Options+ Glass Bottles

Why we like it: Dr. Brown’s Options+ are a serious solution for colicky babies, with a powerful venting system that can be removed as needed.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 5 oz, 9 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1, Slow Flow

Shape 

The figure-eight shape of this bottle type makes feeding time comfortable for you and gives babies a convenient handhold when they’re ready to support their own bottle, or simply explore the surface of the bottle.

The wide neck and steep slope of the nipple offers a slightly different take on natural shapes. While the nipple is not quite as long as its previous iteration, this bottle offers an easy, natural shape and is contoured to encourage your baby to latch, making feeding easy when switching between bottle and breast. This is one of the most convenient bottles for parents with working moms or dads.

Durability

Dr. Brown’s glass bottles tend to be fairly durable, but a silicone cover can help protect shatter-points on this bottle to keep it performing at its best for years to come.

It has a fairly solid seal, but make sure you’ve tightened it fully, or milk and formula may leak out.

Extra Features

The main draw of Dr. Brown’s Options+ line of bottles is its unique, adaptable vent system. It offers superior venting for seriously colicky babies, but as your baby ages, the intense venting system can be removed, leaving a gentler venting system in place in the cap.

These bottles are machine washable, but you will need to use a small brush (which is included with the bottle) to clean the venting system.

Pros

  • Super colic-busting vent system
  • Removable vent for aging up
  • Comfortable shape for babies and parents
  • Great for breastfed babies

Cons

  • Not compatible with most breast pumps
  • Not as leak-proof as other models

3. Best Transition Bottle: Nuk Simply Natural Glass Bottles

Nuk Simply Natural Glass Bottles

Why we like it: Nuk’s offering into the glass bottle world is a solid choice, offering easy venting, a wide shape, and a unique nipple design that closely mimics the shape and milk output of breastfeeding.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 4 oz, 8 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1, Slow Flow

Shape

These thick, slightly curved glass bottles are easy to hold and easy for baby to drink from comfortably. The smaller bottles are a little wide, but the curve of the larger bottles is very comfortable for parents to hold.

Nuk uses an innovative nipple design that’s perfect for breastfed babies and babies transitioning from breast to bottle. The shape and placement of the nipple holes mimics natural anatomy, and the long, flexible, extra-soft nipple is perfect for picky babies. The nipple itself is on a wide base, for a more natural latch.

Durability

These bottles are fairly durable. They’re not able to withstand drops as easily as other brands, but they can handle a few bumps and knocks. The seal on the bottles is tough, and makes it easy to bring along in your diaper bag without leaks.

Extra Features

The innovative, one-piece venting design simplifies your clean-up while offering some serious colic-busting power. These bottles may not be quite as well-designed as Dr. Brown’s anti-colic option, but Nuk has some serious chops when it comes to a simple, easy-to clean venting option.

Nuk bottles aren’t compatible with any breast pumps, but Nuk offers breast pump storage bags that are compatible with nearly all breast pumps.

Nuk Simply Natural Glass Bottles also feature a scale on the side for easy milk measuring.

Pros

  • Natural shape for breastfed babies
  • Unique nipple design with three holes and natural shape
  • Extra-soft, flexible nipple
  • Easy to clean, one-piece venting technology
  • Affordable price

Cons

  • Not as powerful colic buster
  • Not directly compatible with any breast pumps

4. Best Premium Glass Bottle: Phillips Avent Glass Bottle Gift Set

Phillips Avent Glass Bottle Gift Set

Why we like it: This convenient gift set comes with everything a new parent needs for glass bottle feeding, with multiple bottle sizes, nipple types, and handy extras – making it a worthy splurge.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: Three 4 oz Bottles, Two 8 oz Bottles
  • Nipple Type: Stage 0 (Newborn), Stage 1 (Slow Flow) 

Shape

These glass bottles have the same pleasantly curved shape of our overall top pick. It is ergonomic, friendly for small hands to explore, and features a wide nipple base, and long, natural nipple. Breastfed babies will like the shape of this nipple and should be able to switch from breast to bottle and back again fairly easily.

Durability

These bottles are quite durable, but the addition of a 4 oz bottle protector helps keep these bottles in top shape. They are heat and thermal shock resistant with tough borosilicate glass. Avent bottles have a fairly strong seal, but with most glass bottles, some amount of leaking is unavoidable.

Extra Features

This set comes with five bottles, five nipples, two soothie pacifiers, and a 4 oz bottle protector. The nipples range from newborn flow to slow flow, making these bottles an ideal gift for a new parent.

These bottles feature mild, subtle venting. They are fairly cross-compatible, fitting with most name-brand breast pumps.

Pros

  • Great first bottle set
  • Super inclusive sizing and extras
  • Convenient venting
  • Compatible with most major pump brands
  • Multiple nipple sizes

Cons

  • Bottles can be leaky
  • Only offers nipples up to slow flow
  • High price

5. Best Budget Glass Bottle: Evenflow Feeding Glass Bottle

Evenflow Feeding Glass Bottle

Why we like it: With an outstanding per bottle rate, Evenflow’s bottles are an excellent starter bottle, offering a full set of bottles at a low price and decent quality.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 4 oz, 8 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1, Slow Flow

Shape

Evenflow Feeding’s bottles are narrower, and mimic the tradition baby bottle look, but with an ergonomic twist. These bottles feature a gentle spiral in design for a comfortable hand position and grooving for an easy grip surface.

These bottles aren’t ideal for breastfed babies, as the thin nipple design does not mimic natural feeding, and babies might suffer from nipple confusion and reject the bottle. They are comfortable, and ideal for babies with small mouths or newborns, for easier mouth and tongue movement while feeding.

Durability

Evenflow Feeding Glass Bottles are extremely durable with tempered glass bottles that take quite the blow to break. The narrow cap decreases the surface area for leaks. These bottles are dishwasher safe.

Extra Features

These bottles are compatible with most Medela accessories and nipples and can be used with a wide variety of breast pumps. Most pumps can be used to pump directly into the Evenflow bottles to save time. These bottles can also be purchased in slow (0-3 months), medium (3-6 months), and fast (6+ months) flows.

The vented nipple reduces colic and acid reflux by redirecting air away from the nipple.

Pros

  • Extremely budget-friendly
  • Great starter bottle
  • Ergonomic twist
  • Highly cross-compatible
  • Ideal for Medela parents

Cons

  • Not ideal for breastfed babies
  • Less advanced anti-colic design

6. Best Durable Glass Bottle: Life Factory Glass Bottles

Life Factory Glass Bottles

Why we like it: Life Factory’s durable glass bottles can hold up to serious bumps and knocks and offer a great assortment of colors.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 4 oz, 9 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1, Stage 2

Shape

This bottle isn’t as ergonomic as other bottles, with a straight up and down shape, but the silicone sleeve’s circular cut outs provide plenty of grip. The nipple is narrow, so it may not be the best fit for breastfed babies.

Durability

These bottles are hands down our most durable. The thick silicone sleeve protects the bottles from falls up to 3 feet. The nipple is made of medical grade silicone. Parents can trust this glass bottle with their little one with no worries. A drop or a fall won’t take this bottle out of action.

The lid to bottle seal is fairly tight, but it will leak if the cap is crooked.

This bottle is dishwasher safe but should not be used in the microwave.

Extra Features

A nice feature of this bottle is the different nipple stages offered with different size bottles. The 9 oz bottles come with stage two, medium flow nipples, so your baby can age up with their bottle size. Unfortunately, this bottle does not offer venting technology to reduce colic.

A fun feature of these bottles is the option for customization. Life Factory’s bottles are offered in 14 fun colors among the 4 oz and 9 oz bottles. This gives you the option to color-code your bottles, match your other baby accessories, and more.

This bottle is compatible with most major breast pumps. It is compatible with Medela, Spectra, and Evenflow, among others.

Pro-tip: Bottle covers can keep your bottles up and running, but they’re also a handy color-coding tool, to help you organize your bottles, based on temperature, formula type, or baby!

Pros

  • Super durable design
  • Medical grade silicone nipple
  • Offers multiple nipple sizes
  • Easy-grip silicone sleeve in multiple colors
  • Widely compatible with breast pumps

Cons

  • No ergonomic shape
  • No venting in nipple to decrease colic

7. Best Multi-Use Glass Bottle: Tommee Tippee Glass 3-in-1 Bottles

Tommee Tippee Glass 3-in-1 Bottles

Why we like it: These glass bottles offer years of use for baby as a bottle, cup, and baby food jar, and an extra long nipple design for natural feeding and easy latching.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 9 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1, Slow Flow

Shape

Tommee Tippee’s bottles are known for their slightly unusual top-heavy shape. However, this shape is designed to help keep the most formula and milk near the opening, support ergonomic feeding, and offer easier cleaning with a wide spout.

The lid is wide, with an elongated, slow-flow nipple for the most natural feeding experience.

Durability

Tommee Tippee bottles are some of the most durable options in glass bottles. It takes a lot to break these borosilicate glass bottles, and they can last through quite a lot of tipping. The seal is also quite a bit stronger than most bottles, even stronger than our top pick, for less spilling and leaking.

These bottles are dishwasher safe, but handwashing may be required to thoroughly clean the bottles.

Extra Features

These glass bottles are unique in their 3-in-1 design. These bottles aren’t just baby bottles for formula. They can also be used to store baby food and as a cup. The bottles come with a storage lid and an edge-cap to turn this bottle into your baby’s very first cup.

Tommee Tippee’s glass bottles use a ventilation system to help reduce colic; however, its primary colic-preventing measure is in slowing down the rate at which your baby drinks.

Unfortunately, Tommee Tippee is less widely compatible than some other options. It’s easily compatible with Spectra, Medela, Ameda, Gland, KidsTime, and Nibble brand breast pumps, using the Tommee Tippee adapter, and Nuk pumps without an adapter, but there are many pumps that can not be attached to these bottles. It’s particularly important to note that Tommee Tippee is not compatible with Avent brand accessories.

Pros

  • 3-in-1 design
  • Natural nipple shape
  • Super durable glass
  • Strong leak-preventing seal
  • Slows rate of feeding

Cons

  • Less widely compatible
  • Handwashing may be necessary

8. Best Travel-Ready Glass Bottle: Life Factory Flat Cap

Life Factory Flat Cap

Why we like it: These glass baby bottles replace the typical nipple with a removable flat cap for easy travel and storage between feedings.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 9 oz
  • Nipple Type: N/A 

Shape

These bottles are tall and straight. This makes them less ideal for ergonomic feeding, but they can slide easily into the corner of your bag. Their simple, straight design is perfect for packing.

They can fit any Life Factory baby bottle nipples, making swapping between travel time and mealtime as easy as can be.

Durability

Life Factory’s bottle design has earned its standard glass bottles the title of best durable baby bottle. With its silicone case and borosilicate glass, Life Factory’s baby bottles offer a seriously sturdy glass option that can handle the bumpy road and being stashed in bags and backpacks.

The seal of this flat cap bottle is seriously sturdy, like a mason jar’s cap to groove seal. This option is perfect for going out and about, as the chances of it leaking are minimal.

Extra Features

This bottle comes with a travel ready cap and is compatible with most major breast pumps. The side of the bottle features measuring marks. The bottle can be used as a baby bottle, a water bottle, and a cup.

Pros

  • Very portable
  • Low spill risk
  • Compatible with Life Factory nipples and most major brands of breast pumps
  • Slim, easy-to-pack shape

Cons

  • Does not come with a nipple

9. Best Narrow Neck Glass Bottle: Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Narrow Glass Bottle

Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Narrow Glass Bottle

Why we like it: Dr. Brown’s narrow-neck colic-busting bottles offer ventilation, high levels of compatibility, and a slim, traditional shape.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 4 oz, 8 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1, Slow Flow

Shape

Dr. Brown’s Narrow Neck bottles have a slim shape, good for mommies with small hands and for baby’s first time supporting a bottle. The small cap and nipple are ideal for small babies and bottle-fed babies.

The narrow neck offers more cross compatibility with nipples from other mainstream brands.

Durability

These bottles are fairly durable. They can withstand some bumps and knocks but should be used with care to avoid accidents. These bottles are heat and thermal shock resistant, so they can easily be frozen and warmed in hot water.

Dr. Brown’s bottles are dishwasher safe, but the ventilation system should be hand-cleaned.

Extra Features

These bottles have the same colic-busting, removable ventilation features as the wide-neck version.

This bottle is compatible with most major brands of breast pumps.

Pros

  • Super effective ventilation
  • Narrow neck is widely cross-compatible
  • Smaller nipple is good for small babies
  • Removable vent system to age with baby

Cons

  • Not very durable
  • No ergonomic shape

10. Best Easy-Clean Glass Bottle: Baby Brezza Glass Bottle

Baby Brezza Glass Bottle

Why we like it: These wide-necked bottles are easy to clean and ideal for busy parents.

Editor’s Rating:

Features:

  • Size: 5 oz, 8 oz
  • Nipple Type: Stage 1 (Slow flow), Stage 2 (Medium Flow)

Shape

Baby Brezza offers a unique, open necked shape that makes clean up easy and holding the bottle a breeze. It features a dimple for easy grip, and is short and round, perfect for your baby’s clumsy first sips. Because it is a wide design, parents with small hands may feel the strain of holding this bottle one-handed.

The nipple is much longer than most other wide-base nipples, except our favorite transition baby bottles, with a 140-degree angle, to perfectly mimic a baby’s natural mouth position while nursing.

Durability

These bottles are fairly durable. The biggest complaint about Baby Brezza’s bottles is their tendency to leak at the seal. They have some difficulty establishing a tight seal, partly due to the simple, two- piece design of the bottle. They also should not be put in the microwave, and the plastic rim should be treated with care.

These bottles are the easiest to clean with a wide mouth and shallow shape. The bottle is only two pieces and is machine washable, making it the easiest to clean bottle on our list.

Extra Features

These bottles come with an ultra-simple, one-piece venting system to decrease colic and acid reflux.

Baby Brezza’s bottles have been recipients of awards from The Bump and BabyCenter.

Pros

  • Super easy to clean
  • 140-degree nipple base for a natural mouth position
  • Long nipple for easy latch
  • Super simple, 2-piece design

Cons

  • Not as durable as other options
  • Not as comfortable to hold as other options

Welcome to Bottle Feeding! A Complete Guide

little baby being bottle-fed
The world of bottle feeding can be complicated, but it also opens up exciting parenting possibilities for mommies and daddies everywhere. Glass bottles can make your bottle-feeding experience simple, eco-conscious, and more wallet-friendly in the long run.

In our full guide, we’ll get more deeply into the benefits of glass bottles, how you can make bottle feeding work for you, and some special tips for new parents.

The Benefits of Glass Bottles

We’ve already gotten into some of the benefits of glass bottles. They’re a great option for green parents, they avoid the toxins and bisphenol A that can be found in some plastic bottles, and they last quite a bit longer.

Glass bottles also boast a more hygienic surface and easier clean-up. While many plastic bottles hold onto an unpleasant milky residue even after many washes, glass washes clean in both boiling water and dishwashers.

Glass bottles are also less like to tip over, due to their higher weight, and they don’t break, bend, or discolor as easily.

About Venting

If your baby is struggling with colic or painful gas, a bottle with a good vent is a must-have. Colic occurs when babies swallow air during feeding, leading to a painful buildup of gas in the stomach.

Dr. Brown offers a great anti-colic bottle in both wide-neck and narrow neck. These bottles vent the air bubbles your baby breaths out away from the nipple, so they are less likely to swallow air bubbles.

Feeding Positions

There are so many feeding positions to choose from to get great bonding time with your baby, keep them happy and full, and avoid painful cramping in your own arms and legs.

The Cradle

This classic position is a timeless favorite. Cradle your baby in your arms, resting their head in the crook of your arm. Be sure to elevate your baby’s head so they are in a semi-upright position.

The Sit-Up

This position is great for babies with acid reflux. Seat your baby upright on your lap so their head is supported in your chest.

The Hammock

This unconventional feeding position is comfortable for you and your baby. Lie or sit down in a comfortable position with your legs propped up. Then rest your baby against your legs, facing you, with their head resting against your knees.

The Pillow

You can also lay your baby on a nursing pillow with their head slightly elevated.

Nipple Types

The last thing you want to worry about is buying the wrong nipple type. Each nipple type should be used with care, to avoid overwhelming your baby.

  • Stage 0: Ideal for newborns or preemies. This stage nipple is the earliest and slowest type of nipple, usually featuring only one hole. If a Stage 0 nipple is still too fast, some brands offer an ultra-preemie nipple.
  • Stage 1: 0+ months. This nipple is often called slow flow, because the milk flows slowly to avoid overwhelming young babies. This nipple is also ideal for avoiding nipple confusion and transitioning between breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
  • Stage 2: 3+ months. Medium flow nipples offer a faster flow for hungry bottle-fed babies aging up. Life Factory and Baby Brezza both offer bottles that come with Stage 2 nipples.
  • Stage 3: 6+ months. Babies who are sitting up or eating solid foods may be ready for a stage 3 nipple.
  • Stage 4: 9+ months. Babies who are using sippy cups and eating finger foods may be ready for a stage 4 nipple.
  • Y-Cut: 9+ months. For babies drinking thickened milk.

These ages are flexible. When you notice your baby is starting to eat more slowly, becoming fussy during feeding, or falling asleep at the bottle, this is a sign that they may be ready for the next stage of nipple.

If your baby is gulping, coughing, refusing the bottle, or too much milk is leaking out the sides of their mouth, they may need a lower level of nipple.

The Tommee Tippee 3-in-1 bottles can be a great resource for you as your baby ages, as they can be used as a bottle, cup, and baby food jar.

Generally, Stage 1 is ideal for breastfed babies, as it mimics the effort required to breastfeed and can keep your baby feeling confident about what kind of flow to expect. However, a stage that is too low for your baby can cause problems if your baby is not getting enough milk. Be sure to monitor your baby’s feeding habits to make sure they are getting enough to eat.

About Nipple Confusion

In reality nipple confusion is more often nipple refusal. There are two types of documented nipple confusion: nipple refusal after a baby has been bottle-fed, and difficulty latching in babies that have used an artificial nipple.

Nipple refusal generally occurs if your baby has been given a bottle with a faster flow, and upon returning to breastfeeding, has found that they have to work harder to get the same amount of milk. This can lead some babies to reject breastfeeding, because they prefer the ease of bottle feeding.

Difficulty latching occurs in babies who are having trouble learning to feed in general. Exposure to pacifiers in these babies might leave them uncertain about how to suck when exposed to the bottle and breastfeeding.

Nipple confusion is less of an issue than you might expect, but it’s always a good idea to keep in mind that going from bottle to breast should be as consistent as possible. Nuk’s glass baby bottle is one of the best options for going from breastfeeding to bottle feeding and back, due to its multiple, slow flow nipple holes and unique shape.

New Parents’ Corner

Caring for baby can be stressful to a new parent, but feeding can be one of the more calming parts of of the process. Bottle bonding with your baby is a great way to relax, and a good bottle can help make this time as stress-free and calming as possible.

With a bit of prep and planning, you can look forward to feeding time instead of feeling nervous. We’ve got a great checklist for new parents who are unsure where to begin.

  1. Make sure the bottle lid is on tight to prevent leaking.
  2. Shake the bottle after you warm it to make sure that there are no hidden pockets of hot milk.
  3. Test the milk’s temperature by dripping a little on your wrist.
  4. Make sure there’s no water leaking into the bottle. This can lead your baby to think they are full when they haven’t had enough calories.
  5. Be sure to hold your baby semi-upright during feeding, to avoid ear infections.
  6. Keep the venting system upright to avoid spills.
  7. Fill the whole nipple with milk before starting the feed to avoid colic and gas.
  8. Make eye contact with your baby while feeding to promote trust.

A pleasant bottle-feeding experience needs a good bottle, so be sure to check out shape, size, and nipple type to simplify feedings.

Babies with small mouths might prefer a narrow-neck option, like Evenflow Feeding’s twisted design, while a baby used to breastfeeding might prefer Avent’s wide base.

Younger babies may need a 4 oz bottle, while older babies who drink more may need an 8 or 9 oz bottle.

Both mommies and daddies can benefit from a high quality, natural bottle to bond and spend time with your baby.

Choose the Best Glass Bottle for You and Your Baby

Whether you’re looking to bottle feed your baby entirely or you’re planning to alternate between breast and bottle, glass bottles are a great way to buy a clean, green, more durable bottle that will last you for years to come. We hope our run-down has helped you settle on the right glass baby bottle for you and wish you the best of luck in your parenting journey.
