Customer Reviews

Love this bottle!
Due to concerns about plastic, my family went with this glass bottle. We tried 2 to begin with, and loved it so much we bought 8 more! The bottles are very durable and made of very thick glass. They can be sterilized in the dishwasher without worries about degrading plastic. We've been using these for over 6 months now with no problem of the markings coming off. Love it!

Good, but I found a better solution!
I bought this bottle for my occasional use of bottles with pumped breastmilk, but careful as I tried to be, getting my large infant son out of his non-carrier carseat, hefting him on one hip and wrestling to get the bottle in the diaper bag, I dropped it and it smashed all over the asphalt. That was when I found a better bisphenol-A free solution. The Kleen Kanteen leach-free stainless-steel sippy cup comes with the Avent sippy spout, and is therefore interchangeable with Avent nipples, and coincidentally, the nipple from this bottle as well. So I kept the nipple from the smashed bottle, and popped it into the ring that came with the Kleen Kanteen sippy, and voila, a stainless steel baby bottle with the nice nipple that keeps proper sucking posture at the breast. Best of all worlds. And unlike Sigg stainless, the Kleen Kanteen is not coated with epoxy on the inside. For my money, why drink out of epoxy if getting away from chemicals in water is the whole point?
I don't work for Kleen Kanteen (but I should, huh?) but the switching of the nipple for the sippy spout gave me an indestructable leach-free baby bottle that can also be the baby's sippy cup, and later, child's sport bottle, just by changing the spout. Talk about a lasting value! However I will warn that this solution did NOT come with the built-in valve to equalize pressure, so using the stainless steel sippy as a bottle meant that vacuum did build up and my baby had to stop sucking periodically to allow the nipple to draw air so it wouldn't collapse. For an older baby it's no big deal, but I can see why for a younger baby, that self-equalizing valve is important.

As for this bottle, it was great for its purpose, easier to clean than narrow glass bottles, and I would never use plastic again. Nothing wrong with a glass bottle if you never fumble it getting out of the car like I did, and until I discovered the stainless steel option, this was the best choice for me. Oh, the stainless also protects the valuable nutrients in breastmilk from being compromised by exposure to light, but I think you can buy neoprene sleeves for the glass bottles that block light, protect the bottle better from breakage, and insulate.
The nipple that came with the Born Free is the best, because it had the shape of the Avent that prevents bad sucking habits at the breast, but is softer and more comfortable in the baby's mouth than the Avent. So top ratings to this Born Free nipple!

More like the real thing & less gas!
My son is primarily breastfed, but as I have to work half time this year, I needed a bottle he would accept easily. He took to this one right away. With the others we tried he seemed to get a lot of gas bubbles, but with this bottle, he does just fine and is more comfortable throughout his day. The nipple is wider, and more like the real thing. Plus the bottle itself is glass, with no danger of BPA! A real winner. Bought 2, one for at home (for his daddy to use) and one for the diaperbag for his sitter.
