Unsure If Plastic Baby Bottles Are Safe? Go Glass Instead With These 7 Options

Aug 19 2018 - 6:05pm

There's an interesting conversation happening right now surrounding plastic baby bottles. A recent report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) highlighted dangers associated with reheating certain types of plastic [1] in microwaves and dishwashers. For bottle-fed babies, this data might be unsettling, as many parents frequently use the dishwasher to sanitize bottles and sippy cups.

Since heat could potentially leak BPA and phthalates into the bottles (they're not suggesting that it's definitely happening), you can avoid this potential hazard entirely by opting to use glass bottles instead. Find out what's on the market and see what's right for your baby.

Offered in both glass and plastic, these two-piece Baby Brezza bottles [2] ($25) have a breast-like nipple and a wide-mouth design that mimics natural breastfeeding, providing optimal oral development for babies and a more seamless transition from breast to bottle. Bonus for moms: with only two parts, they're easier to clean, fill, and hold, and the sleek design eliminates hard-to-reach crevices where germs and bacteria can grow.
