Hello! I'm looking for some feedback on the lifefactory bottles- do you warm them with the silicone on? are you using a special warmer? do you like the bottles? I'm trying to cut down on plastic!

We bought them. They worked great until he rejected the nipple!
You keep the sleeve on unless you really need to get under it to clean it. We just warmed in regular bowl of warm water. I even sanitized by boiling the bottles with the sleeve on and they are fine sitting on the bottom of the pan against the heat.

We used them the whole time DD took bottles (mostly nursed but I did work out of the house part time). Easy to clean, just warm the whole thing in warm water.

I have a set of 4 (the 4 oz) size and they are great. I use a Dr. Brown's bottle warmer (with the sleeve on) and it takes about 2:45 to get it warmed up. LifeFactory customer service is awesome. One of my bottles got a small chip (probably from dish-washing) and they sent me a free replacement.
As a back-up, I also have a set of the Even-flo glass bottles. I think a pack of 3 was something like $8? I just use them with the LF nipples.

amazing! thank you so much for all of your feedback! I'm glad it's as easy and warming with the sleeve on- i feel really strongly about using glass!

We have a couple and I love them. We just heat in a cup of hot water, sleeves on. We also have some of the (way!) cheaper evenflo bottles as backup, also glass. My medela pump also fits on both to pump into.

We love your Lifefactory bottles! We fill a cup with hot water from our hot water dispenser to warm them. Works great. I also love their nipples. I bought some cheaper Dr. Browns ones that also work with the Lifefactory bottles, but they weren't near as nice as the Lifefactory ones and I ended up ditching them.
Just an FYI, don't travel with the purple sleeved one with liquid in it through airport security. Apparently purple screws with their liquid scanner and they have to take the sleeve off which is kind of a pain.
