[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love Bibs products and have used their pacifiers for two of my kids. My baby, who I got the bottle set for, isn’t as keen on them as my middle child was, but tolerates them. I thought she would LOVE the bottles since they’re familiar, but, I was very wrong. For reference, we received them when she was about 4 1/2 months and had the opportunity to use them a couple of weeks before this review was due.
We don’t give her bottles unless I’m working, so it was on my husband to facilitate this. He tried on multiple occasions to give it to her, but she flat out refused them. He said they just seemed to make her mad, despite trying for over a week at multiple feedings. She would scream and cry, while taking a couple sucks and then cry some more. However, I think if there were more opportunities to introduce them, or if we had done so since birth, she would have taken to them better.
From a parental standpoint, I love them. I only use glass bottles and these are premium. As someone who looks for renewable resources in baby gear, the rubber nipples are also greatly appreciated and something that sets Bibs apart in the industry. The bottles are easy to hold because they are slim and have grip on the bottom, which is my favorite feature. This makes them less likely to tip in a cluttered cabinet and break, or fall into the abyss behind other glassware.
Since the opening is narrower, the included funnel was handy to have when pouring from bag to bottle. The milk cap is also nice to have if you need to throw them in a bag, then they’re sure not to spill. My husband doesn’t dare take on the world with three small children in tow unless I’m with, so he didn’t have a use for the caps. However, when I tried them out for review purposes, they held liquid well. The fill lines in black ink are also greatly appreciated, so easy to see and haven’t faded in the dishwasher.
Aesthetically, these are perfect - the milky white, bold typeface and darling heart details. Overall, such a sweet set that will last forever. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this bottle set.
