Benefits of a Glass Bottle

Easy to Clean

Many glass bottles are easier to clean since they won’t scratch like a plastic bottle will. Plus, no scratches means that there is no space for bacteria to grow or the stench of old milk to linger.

What are the best bottle sterilizers for cleaning?


Better for Breast Milk

It doesn’t allow nutrients and other essentials for your baby to bind to the bottle.

Chemical Free

No chemicals are used when they are made, making them the safest choice for your baby.

Recyclable

They are recyclable which is a great feature for eco conscious parents. Save the planet while feeding your baby safely!

Reinforced Glass

Many glass ones are now made so that they won’t break into sharp shards that can injure you or your baby. They have been designed to break into small pieces.

Disadvantages

Weight

Many are significantly heavier than plastic ones, which can make it tiring for you to hold. It can also make it harder for your baby to hold the bottle as well.

Cost More

Although they often cost more than plastic, they can last many years. You can buy some and use them for multiple children through the years.

Breakable

They can break if they are dropped onto the floor usually. Sometimes it might take more force and most glass bottles are quite strong.
