Thread: "What glass baby bottles do you use?"
isn't it weird that they are all linked to amazon when we know the issues with ordering from amazon?
Thread: "What glass baby bottles do you use?"
We had life factory bottles that have now been passed on to the next kid. I think most of the ones that had lead was in the paint on the outside of the bottle, so I would avoid ones with paint
Thread: "Glass vs Plastic Bottles?"
We used glass bottles from LifeFactory, they have a silicon sleeve that makes them easy to grip and provides some protection if dropped. They were great! The nipples I bought were silicone.
Thread: "Which baby bottles did u love?? "
We used life factory bottles! I haven't seen those recommended on here yet. They have a silicone sleeve so they're less breakable. We're using them for baby 2 as well, though haven't tried them with her yet.
Thread: "Compatible Baby Bottle Cap Rings and Nipples"
HOLY MOLY THIS IS AMAZING. Have been using Evenflo balance + standard neck and just ordered new nipples because our bottles seem to end up everywhere… that’s what happens when you have four different family members doing childcare… we have plenty of LifeFactory glass bottles, but only 6 total nipples/rings, which just isn’t going to cut it. The new nipples arrived… and ugh, no rings!!!! Not helpful!! I couldn’t find them online anywhere and was researching compatibility options when I found your post!! Annoying that nothing is compatible.. but many thanks for tip about reaching out to Evenflo, doing so now! 🙏🍼
Thread: "Compatible Baby Bottle Cap Rings and Nipples"
Thank you for this post! I was gifted a bunch of LifeFactory bottles, but I don't like their nipples. I couldn't find the Evenfl balance+ cap rings anywhere, but I've now reached out to their customer service! Hoping to get a bunch of those with the balance+ nipples so I can make use of all of these bottles!
