These BPA-free glass bottles help you avoid the risk of baby possibly ingesting chemicals while feeding, providing a safe alternative to common plastic bottles. The CustomFlow Nurser also retains heat and cold well and avoids staining, making clean-up a breeze. And you can see right through them so it's easy to gauge exactly how much baby has consumed.
Responsive Nipple and Micro Air Vents for Comfort
The CustomFlow Nurser comes complete with soft and flexible silicone nipples that respond to baby's sucking pressure for a comfortable feeding experience. Micro air vents help to promote an even flow of liquid to keep air out of baby's tummy, helping to reduce gas and prevent the nipple from collapsing. The slow flow nipple is ideal for newborns up to three months old.

Customer Reviews
Good glass, but frustrating design
When our Avent bottles started to get scratched and replacements were no longer available (BPA and all that), we decided to switch to glass.
OK, these bottles are glass--that's good. Also, ours came with silicone nipples, also good (vs. latex). However, the rest of the bottle is an exercise in poor execution.
1) The bottle is too small! All available formula mixes 240ml water/4 scoops formula, but these 8oz bottles simply don't have enough room for the water plus formula, so we're reduced to 180ml/3 scoops. The 4oz bottles will take two scoops just fine, so you're only gaining 50% in moving up to a supposedly double-sized bottle.
2) They leak! Oh LORDY, they leak! Too tight, they leak. Too loose, they leak. Just exactly the right torque on the collar, and they might not leak, if you've got the lid slammed down as hard as possible. Of course then they won't vent.
3) The nipple collapses quite easily, and is much slower to feed than it should be. This is partly related to the venting mentioned above, but it bears repeating.
4) The opening is too small! OK, I know that this is a standard and the nipples/collars will fit on premixed bottles of formula, but it's a BAD standard! The Avent bottles were so much easier to pour formula into, in comparison.
Why can't they (or anyone!) fix these things? The cheap plastic (BPA-free!) Gerber bottles are absolutely leak-proof. The Avent BPA-containing bottles are easy to fill and close to leak-proof at the collar, but have a terrible lid design (which melts just above boiling). The glass Evenflo don't vent, and leak all over. Haven't yet tried any of the others, but I don't see anything that meets all the criteria for a perfect baby bottle:
1) Proper size
2) Leak-proof
3) Glass
4) Silicone nipple
5) Vents
6) Simple design (which drops the Dr. Brown, from what I've seen)
7) Idiot-proof (because who wants to mess around with getting a bottle _just_ right at 3:30am with a screaming baby on one arm?)
8) Affordable - the small (5oz) Born Free bottles are FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH locally! That's just ridiculous, folks.
In short; They're decent, as good and bad as anything else out there, but not as good as they should be.
Excellent
Evenflo 4-Ounce Classic Glass Nurser 3 Pack
The product is made of glass and that is the only reason to buy this. However after getting the product we found that its light weight. I recommend using this product.
no cap rings
I think the product itself is fine, but I was disappointed to find that the bottles did not come with a cap ring to hold the nipple on. I tried using Dr Brown rings, and they do fit, but they leak. I cannot find rings sold separately anywhere, so I have not been able to use these bottles. In the description of this product, it says that cap rings are included.
