Lifefactory 9-Ounce BPA-Free Glass Baby Bottle with Protective Silicone Sleeve and Stage 2 Nipple, Papaya

I bought these after reading and researching all about BPA, PVC etc chemical issues with plastic bottles. It all began when I took my Playtex venti air out of the box. I had used them, sterilized them, stored them. The next time I took them out to use there was a disgusting yellow colored film on the inside of the bottle (and a gross smell). I cannot stress enough, I sanitized according to the manufacturer! So this got me thinking and researching. I came to the conclusion that no plastic bottle was safe for my infant when his entire food supply was being administered through a bottle. Everything I put in his body was being exposed to the chemicals in that plastic.I am confident in the safety of these bottles. They wash so easily.My toddler even threw one on our hardwood floors before I could intercept and it did not break! (it's still not a good idea to let him do that repeatedly- but it survived one mishap).My husband complains that they're 'too heavy.' It's true that I can hold my little one in one hand, hold onto the bottle with my chin and use my other hand for another task. It requires all hands on deck. but hey, isn't the quality of health for my son so much more important? (the answer of course, is yes). I do think that because they are heavier (quality glass and all) it will be difficult for baby to learn to hold it by himself (at least the 8 oz size bottle- maybe a 4 oz would be easier to start).Lastly, if my infant guzzles quickly (as he always does) the air is sucked out so quickly that the nipple becomes flat and he cannot continue getting milk. I have to take it out of his mouth and let it refill. so the ventilation is not super great however it's easy to work around. My child does not have spit ups or hiccups as a result.

Highly recommend this bottle. It doesn’t leak, the nipple is great, and high quality glass.

It's a well made bottle no complaints there. However It's not the same color as stated. It's actually grape purple not royal purple. So it's very girly.

We have tile floors and my baby is into holding the bottle himself now, and also throwing it on the floor. This has withheld many falls from high up. One time the plastic ring holding the cap on cracked, but not the glass. I had Dr. Brown’s glass bottles before which came with a silicone sleeve, but they still broke, one broke just in the sink while washing it when it hit another glass I was washing. The size 2 nipple that it comes with has been a good flow for my 7 month old, breast-fed baby.

Very high quality materials. Much stronger than other glass bottles, I have already broken 3 Dr. Browns when they just fell on their side on the table. These bottles are durable, I used them without the silicone sleeve because my daughter doesn't like it, but they are still very durable.

Although a little on the pricey side for a baby bottle, I love the quality of this glass bottle. The glass and silicone combination make it ideal of all the times I have dropped the bottle (no breaking or cracking yet!). Also the silicone sleeve is comfortable in my hand as I feed the baby. My little one recognizes his bottle now (at 5 months) and reaches out for it. I think the bright color of the bottle interests my little guy. Because of the silicone sleeve, it is difficult to slide this bottle into designated pockets in my diaper bag specifically designed to hold baby bottles (both because the texture of the silicone does not allow the bottle to "slide" into any spot and because the sleeve essentially widens the circumference around the bottle just a bit)...but I just out the bottle in a larger side or main pocket of the bag...no big deal.

This bottle gets top reviews everywhere I look but I have had a couple issues with it as well as my other Life Factory 4oz bottle. The nipple always goes flat in my baby's mouth and it takes forever for her to drink the bottle compared to my other bottle. And yes I'm using their fast flow nipple! (stage 3) Also when I give my baby formula, it's hard to pour the scoop of formula into the narrow opening. I wish they could have made the opening the same width as the bottle. Makes it a little difficult to get the bottle brush in. When I'm pouring breastmilk in, I'm also a little nervous as I do not want to spill a drop!Pros would be that it looks great and it has stood up well in the dishwasher (even with the silicone sleeve on).

I can't say enough good things about these bottles! I love them! They are durable, bright, and colorful! The silicon sleeves do a great job protecting the glass, although we haven't dropped any yet. I was worried that they would mildew somehow, but so far they wash and dry like a dream in the dishwasher. I love that I am able to skip using plastics and let baby drink from glass. The weight of the bottle is not a problem for us at all. The only con is that they are pricey, this is definitely a splurge item, but I am completely thrilled with them. Another plus, they fit on my lansinoh hand pump and also on my medela pump in style. The fit on the lansinoh hand pump is perfect, the pump in style fit isn't perfect but it works and in three months I have not had one bottle come loose from the pump while I was pumping.
