Philips AVENT Natural Glass Bottle 4oz - 2Pk

Comments about Philips AVENT Natural Glass Bottle 4oz - 2Pk:

I feel so silly. With my first child, I insisted on the more expensive brands that use extra valve pieces and claim they reduce air in your baby's tummy better. I also tried the ones with disposable plastic bags for each feeding, all in the name of reducing gas. What a waste! These bottles are BPA free, they keep air out of my baby's tummy just as well as the other brands (if not better), and there are only 3 pieces to clean. That's HUGE when you are also constantly cleaning breast pump parts, pacifiers, and toys! I was concerned at first that they would break easily (since they are glass), but the couple of times I have dropped one on our laminate flooring they haven't even chipped. They're heavier than plastic bottles (probably to make them more durable), and I was concerned that might be a problem when my baby started to insist on holding his own bottle, but now he's almost there and I don't think it will really be much more challenging for him than a plastic bottle would. I also purchased a couple of Avent Natural plastic bottles (also BPA free) for when he starts tossing them, though. He is a boy, after all! :o)

The other thing I like about these bottles is that you can SEE how clean they are. Over time, plastic bottles and plastic/silicone bottle vents tend to scratch, discolor, and retain smells, making you wonder how clean they really are. But after 5 and a half months of use, my glass bottles still look as clean and new as the day I took them out of the box. I really like these and wish I hadn't wasted so much time, energy, water, and plastic trying out the other bottles back when I had my first baby. You live and you learn, I guess!

... Oh, and by the way, this company sells a manual, single breast pump that fits right on to the top of any of their Natural bottles. It works well, is SUPER convenient, reasonably priced, washes easily, is comfortable, and because it fits onto the top of the bottle, you don't lose any nutrients transferring the milk from your pump bottle to your feeding bottle. Sooooo logical! You may need to order it online, though; I couln't find it in any stores.

They are definitely sturdy! I dropped one of these on my hardwood floor today and for sure thought that along with my precious breast milk was destroyed..it wasn't! Didn't even crack!

I love this product. The bottle is made of tempered glass so it can go from cold to hot without breaking, which is surprisingly not the case with most glass bottles. Very easy to clean with only 3 pieces!

I got this glass bottle for my son, who's still breast feeding. He took it immediately, and hasn't had any problems drinking from both breast and bottle, which is great. (I use the slow flow nipple (1 hole)).
This bottle is really easy to clean (only 3 parts, unlike Dr Browns), I put it in the dish washer, and it is no problems.
It doesn't leak at all, I actually don't even put a bib on my son anymore when feeding him with it ;)
The glass is really high quality and very sturdy. I was a bit concerned it would be heavy to hold when feeding, but the curvature of the bottle makes it fit really nicely in my hand, so this has not been a problem at all.
And the bottle is just beautiful, great design.

I had been waiting to purchase these glass bottles for a while and I just picked up two today. They are very similar to the new natural avent bottles, only glass. They appear sturdy and do not leak. My only complaint is that I would have liked to be able to purchase a silicone protective sleeve for the bottle, avent so far does not make one... Hopefully they will come out with one soon!
