The parts don't bother me at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2247191 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:05:57 +0000 Torchwood 2247191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're planning on breastfeeding as well, the IBCLC I just met with recommended the Dr. Browns. Apparently the nipple is better. The parts don't bother me at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2247176 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 14:47:29 +0000 MenagerieMama 2247176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Expensive: Lifefactory<br /> Cheap: Evenflo</p> <p>Both work great, no weird parts, and haven't broken any yet. Lifefactory look nicer but actually the Evenflo fit on my pump (Freestyle) better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2247155 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 14:29:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2247155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Avent plastic so I'm thinking the glass version would be good too :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2247095 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:31:45 +0000 PurplePeony 2247095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avent Natural worked great for us. I tried one plastic Dr. Brown bottle just to see if we liked it before investing in the glass ones, and I hated all the parts. Lifefactory wasn't on my radar at the time, but we did end up geting one later on and it was good, the silicone sleeve is definitely nice to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2247047 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:10:20 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2247047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like life factory much more than dr brown! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2247032 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:01:56 +0000 BadgerMom 2247032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Lifefactory. Loved them. No special parts and LO took to the nipple right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2246967 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 12:17:48 +0000 Tanjowen 2246967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Dr. Brown's plastic and glass. I didn't find the parts that annoying, to be honest. I just tossed all the parts into a bowl of soapy water after each bottle, then one of us tackled bottle duty at the end of the day. We loved them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-glass-bottles-1#post-2246965 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 12:15:32 +0000 peaches1038 2246965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's everyone's favorite glass bottles? I'm registered for Dr. Browns but am wondering if all the parts are really annoying or make it a great bottle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/momo-free-to-grow-glass-bottles#post-529299 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 18:01:32 +0000 immabeetoo 529299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: ahh that is scary! I have two 4 oz bottles; he probably gets one a weekend or so and usually eats 3.5 oz or so. And then nurses forever the next time I'm there lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/momo-free-to-grow-glass-bottles#post-529261 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:57:38 +0000 shopaholic 529261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Yeah, my concern is just about space issue. I don't want a million bottles if I'm BF. How many bottles do you have if you're EBF? Also, one review I read said that they found that little pieces of glass seemed to have chipped off and she was worried if baby had swallowed any! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/momo-free-to-grow-glass-bottles#post-529016 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 12:50:25 +0000 immabeetoo 529016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No sorry but we have life factory and my ebf has taken to them fine. We've never tried anything different but I'd just try them and see if your baby likes them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/momo-free-to-grow-glass-bottles#post-528996 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 12:24:09 +0000 shopaholic 528996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone tried this brand of glass bottles? I know that the more popular brands seem to be LifeFactory &amp; BornFree. My aunt was very adamant that we use borosilicate glass bottles and gave us a gift basket of 9(!) of these MOMO ones. I can hardly find any reviews on the product but it seems like a lot of babies didn't prefer these nipples that come with the bottles. </p> <p>Just wondering if anyone has tried these bottles and how it's worked out for them. And now if I need to keep all my other bottles, but that'll be a different post. FWIW - I can't return or exchange them - have no idea where they are from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-59332 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:39:45 +0000 pastemoo 59332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-58495 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:16:53 +0000 looch 58495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: sterilizer we had has removable "trays" designed for bottles, but they can be removed and sized as needed. I've steamed teethers, toys, toothbrushes. All kinds of things!</p> <p><a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/avent-electric-steam-sterilizer-98552" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/p/avent-electric-steam-sterilizer-98552</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-58181 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:09:32 +0000 pastemoo 58181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Cool. Can you sterilize anything, or are they shaped for bottles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56887 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:39:04 +0000 looch 56887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Re the sterilizers, you can also get stand alone steam sterilizers, they are great because you can wash the bottle and then pop it in the sterilizer and run a cycle as often as you need to. We don't have a microwave but in general, I prefer not to microwave sterilize or heat food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56877 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:27:45 +0000 amy 56877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Yes, they sell a microwave sterilizers but that just another expense. The same thing can be achieved by boiling the bottles.</p> <p>I have both born free glass bottles from my first and we used them till she was 20 months and not one has broken. I did the same since the born free bottle had such a wide neck I just threw them in the dish washer and only boiled the nipples.</p> <p>We used the playtex vent air for my second, its the only bottle he will drink from.</p> <p>Our daycare will accept either glass or plastic although they prefer the glass bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56834 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:31:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 56834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the family I nanny for uses glass. however, she puts them in the dishwasher. I've only ever seen her (and been asked to) boil nipples, not bottles.</p> <p>don't they sell a microwave sterilizing thing, too? I'm confused by this whole bottle boiling thing.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56753 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 09:52:07 +0000 Mrsbells 56753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we plan to use glass bottles.

But I don't think we'll be warming the milk. She'll drink it cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56475 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:40:40 +0000 pastemoo 56475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: Good to know!<br /> @winniebee: LOL. I'm a super klutz too and freak out about glass, but I convinced my husband to let me buy new glasses for drinking water--made of real glass and we haven't broken one in a year. So I stopped worrying about it.<br /> @Andrea: Ohhh. Bummer.<br /> @artbee: Are sippy cups plastic or glass, or do they offer both?<br /> @pelikila: Guess I have to figure out what the daycare here says.</p> <p>Thanks for all the info and insight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56466 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 10:17:29 +0000 mrstilly 56466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use BPA free plastic. I only warmed bottles if they were from the fridge in the early weeks. And I didn't warm it that much. I wanted him to take a bottle anytime, anywhere and I knew I wouldn't always have a way to heat them. We used a cup of hot water and put the bottle in it. I also don't waste time sterilizing anymore. Plastic are light, easy to clean, and easier for DS to learn how to hold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56460 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:41:05 +0000 winniebee 56460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be getting plastic (BPA free) - I"m a klutz and I can see shattered glass everywhere already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56455 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:19:04 +0000 pelikila 56455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer glass bottles because they don't absorb odor or stains, are much easier to clean, and I have a stronger comfort level when it comes to santizing them (I always have concerns boiling plastic). Well we had to switch to plastic after about 5 months because the type of bottle my son preferred didn't come in glass. Thus, a BPA free plastic bottle. My daycare had no problem with my glass bottles until they were encouraging my son to hold his own bottle and the glass was a bit heavy for him.</p> <p>If you are worried about heating up your milk or formula, just put it in a sink full of warm/hot water for a few minutes. Both glass and plastic heat up well that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-bottles-glass-vs-plastic#post-56450 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:02:02 +0000 heffalump 56450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: she's on formula. We aren't going to give her milk in a bottle, we'll be using a sippy cup. </p>
