Best Baby Bottles: Glass vs. Plastic

Baby Bottles

Decades ago, the only baby bottles you could buy were made of glass. But glass was heavy and breakable. So, when plastic bottles came along that were lighter and shatter-proof, the glass bottle became almost obsolete.

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

But reports that a type of plastic found in baby bottles might cause potentially harmful changes in developing babies left parents wondering if perhaps old-fashioned glass wasn't such a bad thing after all. These days, there are several types of bottles available, including hybrids that are a bit of both.

Here is some background on baby bottles, along with tips on how to choose – and use – bottles safely and effectively.

How many baby bottles do I need?

Once you pick a specific bottle, buy at least a dozen of them. Even if you’ll be breastfeeding, you may want some extra baby bottles for pumped breast milk storage.

1. Chemical, Non-reactants, and Toxin Free

Your little one’s bottle should be free from chemicals, toxins and non-reactants. Thankfully, glass bottles are 100% chemical and toxin-free, so you don’t need to worry about harmful chemicals leaching into your little one’s food. 

2. Stain and Odour Resistant

Parents prefer glass bottles because they do not retain colours and odours. This is made possible by their non-porous nature. Thus, you are sure your baby is getting natural breast milk or formula untainted with other things.

3. Easy to Clean

The fact that the bottles are non-porous also means that they remain stain-free and have fewer bacteria growth. Add this to the fact that glass baby bottles are sterilizable, and you have baby bottles that are super easy to clean.

4. Heat Tempered

Baby glass bottles are tempered as such; they can withstand high temperatures. Thanks to this property, they can be sterilized at high temperatures and even be cleaned in a microwave. Alternatively, you can sterilize them in boiling water. 

5. Durable 

Glass baby bottles pick up fewer scratches than plastics, making it easier to tell when they are dirty. Thanks to their tolerance for extreme temperatures, glass bottles are also very durable. They do not lose their shape when subjected to boiling or sterilization.

6. Longer Life Span 

Baby bottles made of glass are long-lasting and recyclable. Owing to the longevity of the bottles, the cost is slightly higher. Of course, glass bottles are made from environmentally friendly. 

7. Retain Its Shape

Glass bottles are resilient and retain their shape even in harsh conditions. Thanks to their resilience, you don’t need to fear them getting misshapen when heated.
