[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this, Philips Avent 4oz Natural Glass Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple, from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Since my baby was born this past June, I've exclusively chosen to use glass bottles over plastic. Not only do they feel amazing in your hand when you're feeding your baby, but they also hold up very well in the milk warmer. My breast pump is coincidentally also from Philips, so using a Philips glass bottle was a no-brainer.
The glass is well made but compact, so it's easy to hold in your hand. I've noticed that when I warm my baby's milk in it, it doesn't leave any odor like the plastic ones did when I used those. Furthermore, as it's a Philips milk bottle, I can attach it to my breast pump very easily.
I love that the bottle's nipple is shaped similarly to a breast's teat, which makes the transition smooth. It's also good because when they're sleeping and lightly suckling, the nipple only lets milk flow then; it doesn't cause their mouth to fill with milk just from sitting in their mouth.
I've sterilized and used it quite a few times and never had any problem with it. Even though it's glass, I don't feel as if I have to handle it delicately; rather, it's something I can use regularly without worry.
The only negative for me is that because the bottle is quite fat/bulky in circumference, it's not easy for my baby to grasp it in their hands, and it's not a bottle I can teach them to do that with until they're a bit older. However, because sometimes I have to set them up to be fed while I complete my chores, it's easy for me to prop it on the blanket or a towel and have it maintain its hold.
p.s breast pump part not included just wanted to showcase the compatibility
