Glass baby bottles

Believe it or not Glass Baby Bottles have been around longer than plastic baby bottles. They are beginning to make a big comeback thanks to the BPA controversy a few years back.

Glass bottles have an entirely smooth surface. This means that greasy milk or formula has nowhere to stick to and makes cleaning glass baby bottles an incredibly easy task. If you have ever spent more than 10 minutes scrubbing a plastic baby bottle then you will know what a blessing this can be.

Eco-conscious parents rejoice! Glass is a fairly natural material.As a result there is no worry about unknown chemicals leeching into your babies meal.

If you use boiling water to sterilize your baby bottles then you will be pleased to know that unlike plastic, glass does not break down when exposed to hot temperatures. In fact, a glass bottle will last forever unless you break it.

If you drop a glass bottle, particularly on a glass floor, then there is a good chance that it will shatter. Not only is this a chore to clean up but if you fail to clean up every last piece then your baby may cut himself while crawling around on the floor. 

Fortunately many manufacturers sell http://www.china-aba.com/Baby-Bottle-Products_c4 glass bottles in removable silicone sleeves . The silicone sleeve helps cushion the glass bottle in the event that it falls, potentially saving it from breaking. The silicon sleeve will also help stop the glass from sweating, a common problem when holding cold liquids.

If you want to use glass baby bottles be sure to check that your daycare accepts them. Many daycare centers will only allow you to use Plastic baby bottles (because glass can be dropped, break and harm children).
