Product Information

Dr. Brown’s bottles are specifically designed to reduce colic, spit-up, burping, and gas with their internal vent system. The filter is an additional green insert that works to send air through the vent and away from the milk. Durable: Glass bottles are more durable than plastic bottles. Unless they break, your glass bottles can last through multiple children. Can’t truly sanitize: Plastic can’t withstand the amount of heat glass can. Too-high temperatures increase the risk of melting and create leaching concerns. Evenflo glass bottles are made from tempered glass, which is stronger than regular glass, and if it breaks, it will shatter more safely into small pieces. The tempered glass is also recyclable. Both the Evenflo bottles and nipples are free of BPA, polycarbonates, PVC, and phthalates and are made of FDA-approved food-grade material.

It seems counterintuitive to give a baby something made out of glass, but more moms are opting for glass baby bottles over plastic for various reasons. One of those reasons is concerns over the controversial bisphenol A, commonly known as BPA, a known endocrine disruptor.

Compatible with common breast pumps: Using glass bottles doesn’t mean you need to buy separate bottles to fit your breast pump. Many glass bottles work with common breast pumps. For example, glass bottles that work with Medela pumps include Lifefactory, Avent, Born Free, Evenflo, Joovy Boob, and Dr. Brown’s.
