Breast Milk And Glass Bottles

There has been plenty of controversy over which is better for breast milk storage—plastic or glass. Plastic was the preferred material up until recently when the dangers of biphenyl-A (BPA) were exposed.

Plastic is still a good option to use, especially if you use BPA-free baby bottles, but you can never go wrong with glass.

Glass bottles can attach directly to your pump and be used for collection, storage, and feeding.

All you need are lids and nipples and—voila!—you have an all-in-one system that’s free of the common chemicals found in plastic.

Breast milk glass bottles are durable, recyclable, and easy to clean. On average they will last longer than their plastic counterparts. They also are the best for freezing milk because they pose less risk of contamination.

If you’re worried about your glass bottles breaking, opt for bottles with rubber sleeves or buy cloth bottle protectors. These come in a variety of colors and act as your bottle’s armor.
