Glass Baby Bottles

Baby bottles are pretty much my life.

I am pretty much an expert at packing them up. Cleaning them. Mixing in them...oh yeah and feeding in them!

My life literally revolves around baby bottles...at least for the next year or so.

So with all the growing concerns about BPA I have definitely been researching and using what I feel is safe for my baby.

You may remember a post I did back in March about green to grow and their products.

I use their plastic bottles and love them.

They asked me to try out their glass bottles to see how I liked them.


As far as packaging and design go, you have to give it to them. Definitely one of the more stylish bottles on the market!


So, as far as performance here is what I have to say:

I was always concerned about glass breaking and chipping so I use some, but not all glass bottles.
These are really nice. They are easy to grip and you really don't need a rubber sleeve (those things make me nuts!).
A little heavy when the bottle is full, but my boy guzzles so its not like I am holding it for long!

I boil my bottles, so glass definitely retains that heat. Any glass bottle does the same.

Honestly, I feel like the bottle is cleaner. I love my plastic BPA free bottles. I can't live without them. Glass for some reason really feels like it comes clean (I'm just a freak about clean stuff in my kids mouth!).

I did try the regular neck bottles, which are totally fine, but I am a "wide neck" person. See, I formula feed and its easier to get the formula in the bottle when its wider...but that is the only reason. The bottles work well and they travel well too.
I like to fill my bottles with water and stash them in my diaper bag when I am out and about...no spills. I can not tell you how priceless that is. I have ruined many a bag full of stuff because of leaky bottles.

So, again, I am a fan. I like the company and all it stands for. The product really speaks for itself. Safe, reliable and affordable.

You can go here or www.greentogrow.com to check them out or place and order.

I was just thinking about glass bottles the other day. Since all this BPA stuff came out. I wasn't sure if anyone made them anymore. Thanks for the tip!

Glass bottles became widely available when my son was a few months old and by then we had found alternatives....but those bottles are so cute I wouldnt have been able to resist them!

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with bottles anymore, but if I were still in that phase, I would have loved to have known about these!!

Hope you're settling in to a routine and doing great!
