Three plus years ago, when my daughter was born, bisphenol-A (BPA) didn’t have quite the notoriety it does now. I used plastic bottles then and you can bet they had BPA in them. Flash forward several years and BPA has been removed from most plastic bottles. In addition, many of the bottle manufacturers have come out with glass bottles.
In the last year, we switched from using plastic to using glass in as many areas as we can and bottles was one of them. I was a little wary of using glass for the baby bottles, but for the last 8 weeks, we’ve used them with great success. One of the best things about using glass is that I feel safe warming the milk or water in the bottle directly as I don’t put any plastic in the microwave.
You don’t have to worry about breakage – I dropped a bottle on my hard wood floors and it practically bounced. No breaking, no cracks. Once our son can hold the bottle himself, I will use a “bottle cozy”, a cover for the bottle that will be just one more layer of protection against breakage. I have a silicon bottle “cozy” but you can find other bottle covers like this pink damask cloth cover from CoozyCo’s etsy shop or if you’re crafty, you can crochet bottle covers.
