New Glass Baby Bottle Options Abound

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The demand for safe alternatives to toxic plastic has spurred an increase in glass baby bottle choices. Even companies well-known for their plastic baby bottles, like Munchkin and Medela, are branching out. About a year ago, when the movement away from BPA began, parents were hard pressed to find anything but standard Evenflo glass bottles. Now, a short time later, Evenflo has also stepped up with a modern version of their old standby – protective cover and all.

The following glass bottles are new to the market and are now available, giving parents even more great non-plastic choices:

Coddletime Borosilicate Bottle with Silicone Cover - available in 9oz wide neck

Munchkin Glass Bottle with Silicone Cover

Munchkin Mighty Grip Glass Bottles with Silicone Cover - available in 4oz and 8oz

Evenflo Cozy Glass Bottles with Sleeve - available in 4oz and 8oz

Sweet Pea Glass Bottle with Neoprene Cover - available in 5oz and 9oz

Medela Glass Bottles - available in 4oz and 8oz

I love glass baby bottles and am so glad to see that they are making a comeback. I love the WeeGo bottles - they're so cute, but really expensive, unfortunately. Of course, they last forever...

Its good to see that many more companies are going this route to cut down on the use of plastics and keep their kids healthy. I like the different bottle protectors as well.

I was wondering if there are any covers that fit the new Medela glass bottles in the 4 oz. size yet. I picked up some Munchkin covers but they didn't fit properly. Will the Siliskin ones fit or maybe the Evenflo covers? I love that the Medela is compatible with the breast pumps for storage purposes, but am terrified about breaking them. Thanks!

Hi Hilary,

We've tried the Evenflo Cozy Covers with most regular neck bottles and it fits well. They're easy to apply and are nice and stretchy.

Also, the Siliskin large universal standard covers fit the 8oz Medela bottles, so the small size may fit the 4oz Medela bottles as well.

Any input/suggestions from our other readers??

Also check out the stylish options from babylife -- www.gobabylife.com. They have 4oz and 9oz glass bottles with (optional) silicone covers... I haven't tried them myself yet, though, so can't comment re leakage.

Hi Amanda,

We can't wait to get our hands on the new glass Munchkin bottles too! They're not yet available around here . . .

Thanks for sharing your experience with us,

Alicia

I just started using Munchkin glass bottles with my 7 1/2 month old and we absolutely love them!!! I wish they had been available from the beginning we had been using evenflo plastic bottles because they seemed to be the only kind she liked and I had gotten so sick of the leaking that I was desperate to find something else. These are definately my favorites and they're so pretty!

Hi Kelly,

The Sweet Pea bottles aren't yet available in the U.S. so we won't likely be adding them for a while (if at all - I'm not sure what their plans on for U.S. distribution). An alternative to the Sweet Pea bottles is the new Momo wide neck bottles with a neoprene Hugger. They've turned out to be a hit with our customers. The bottles are made from borosilicate glass, which is well-known for its superior durability, chemical, heat and shatter resistance. The Huggers also work with so many other bottles and sippy cups (like the Klean Kanteen sippy), making them a versatile and affordable option.
