Last year we replaced all the plastics in our kitchen with glass. All those plastic storage pieces were tossed and replaced with glass storage containers.
While plastics have come a LOOONG way from even one year ago, I still prefer glass …when given the choice.
Along comes Lifefactory – BPA free, glass and silicone sleeved bottles for babies.
The super strong thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass can go from freezer to piping hot water without shattering. I like the silicone sleeves because they make holding the bottle easier… when Thom gets older and can hold his own bottle this will be great for him.
The nipple that comes with the bottle is nice except I wanted the milk flow to be slower so I switched it out with a “slow flow” nipple and it’s works great. You can also purchase an interchangeable ‘sippy cup’ attachment for future use and a simple lid so you can use the bottle as a snack jar for on the go…after your kid has outgrown the bottle stage.
Washing is easy and every time I’m out in public I always get compliments and questions about the bottle. I also love the modern and clean design of the whole line of Lifefactory products.
These bottles run about $14.99 a piece and up. Replacement glass bottles are $4. Totally worth it!

Another awesome blog, hard to believe I’ve known her as long as I have. Great reviews of products for kids and mom’s on the go!
I wonder if they have something for my soccer girls …
They do… look up the website. I have one of their glass bottles and really like em. But it’s a bit heavy!
Can you tell me which slow flow nipple you used? I know they come with stage 1 nipples, but my little guy is a vigorous eater and I’d live to find an even slower option…thanks!
HI Gail. I used the PHILIPS AVENT slow flow nipple because i have a few Philips bottles that I dont use much. ow old is your little babe?
Thanks, I will look into those! He is 7 weeks and is mainly breastfed. But I do pump a few bottles for when I’m out and about or so daddy can feed him. He will polish off a bottle in record time and is upset when he’s finished, I think because he doesn’t realize he’s full yet! I’ve tried burping him midway but he cries so that doesn’t work too well. Anything I can do to slow him down will be really helpful.
I had the same problem with my little man! he would get so much food when I gave him the bottle because of the nipple that he would get frustrated with the breast. When i switched to slow nipple for the bottle it made a world of difference. let me know how it goes for you.
