5 Best BPA Free Plastic and Glass Baby Bottles

Whether you're a mom who breastfeeds or formula feeds, at some point you probably plan on being away from your baby. With time away comes time to bottle-feed. Picking a baby bottle may seem like an easy decision until you get to the store and realize there are hundreds of models and features to choose from. This can be overwhelming, especially for new moms. Do you buy a brand that's cheap? Or maybe one that's glass? So many choices!

And with the recent BPA-scare it can make things even more of a challenge. A study by the Journal of Food Additives and Contaminants revealed that plastic baby bottles made with BPA can leak into the milk causing cancerous health concerns. The good news is, many brands are now switching to BPA-free materials.

To make it easier for you to select the best option for your baby, we've researched and tested the best of the (BPA-free) best. We even went a step further and categorized them to help you find the best product for you. We found 5 that stand out from the rest, and each one will make your baby very happy.

Here are the factors we considered when choosing the best: material, size, shape, niplle build and flow, and price. Keep in mind what features are important to you, and look for a product that makes you, and your baby, happy.

The soft and squeezable Comotomo Natural Feel Bottle is the best overall product on our list. The Comotomo is perfect for any mom, and makes a baby feel as if they're actually breastfeeding - and we here at Faveable aren't the only ones who feel this way. Hannah, a mommy blogger behind the blog The Wise Baby, loves the Comotomo just as much as we do and has used the brand for years. She states, "The Comotomo was made to mimic the feel and function of nursing and is a winner by all standards." But even if a natural feel option is not your style, we guarantee our list has something you'll love.

Now, on to our list.

Details

If you're concerned about BPA found in plastic, think about choosing a glass product for your baby. Glass options are popping up everywhere, but we found the Phillips AVENT Natural Glass Bottle to be the best.

Bottle: The AVENT model is made of BPA-free borosilicate glass. This type of glass is much stronger and less likely to shatter compared to standard glass. However, the glass can be heavy for babies to hold and there is no silicone sleeve availible for protection. One thing we love about these glass products is that they can be safely placed in the freezer or can be heated in a milk warmer. Another plus, the milk is heated much quicker in glass versus plastic.

Nipple: Newborns love the AVENT product because the shape of the nipple is very close to the shape of a real nipple. They feature a wide shape with a flatter base which promotes natural latch-on. We especially loved that there is no ring that classic bottles have or any extra parts for that matter. This make clean-up super easy. Many moms stated that since the nipple is vented it doesn't collapse or leak during feeding. The anti-colic valve of the nipple releases air back into the bottle rather than into your babies tummy.

Price: Surprisingly, this brand is more affordable than most glass options we've seen. They're actually pretty cheap! At $6+ a piece, you'll have peace of mind knowning there are no chemicals leaking into your baby's milk. And you can't put a price tag on that.

What reviewers say:

"I Love these! We used every bottle out there it felt like and these have been the best by far! They are quick to warm up, are easily held, and keep the bubbles down."
"Trying to get away from using plastic, so these glass bottles are great! My breastfed baby took to them right away, and I feel that part of it has to do with how wide they are to mimic the natural breast. No leakage while drinking either. Great bottles!"
"These glass bottles have been fantastic and are worth the purchase. All of the benefits of glass are right there -- no concern about chemical infusion into baby's milk, easy to clean and sterilize, super quick warm-up in a bottle warmer. It would take deliberate effort to break one -- think of the thick glass of a jam jar. A final additional benefit I appreciate: all the milk flows over the interior bottle surfaces to reach the nipple reservoir."
