Thread: "What glass baby bottles do you use?"
Also just FYI on baby bottles the lead is in the paint on outside of the glass. Not in the glass or inside where the milk goes. And many of them have small amounts of lead within federally regulated limits. All that said I use the Phillips advent (was found to have small amounts of lead in the paint) because I like the natural flow nipples.
Thread: "Phillips Avent Bottles"
From what I saw online, that bottle (plastic based at least?) is tricky to assemble. The nipple (is that the word?) has to go thru the plastic ring far enough. This is shown in manuals as well. The colic valve has to align with the dent in the plastic ring.
Thread: "What baby bottles are we all using?"
Phillips Avent glass bottles with natural flow nipples. Never had any issues! Only wanted glass so this was really the only option.
Thread: "Baby bottles glass vs plastic"
I used the Phillips advent glass bottles cause heating plastic just felt weird. The only time they broke was from adults dropping them, not him. But he preferred us holding and feeding him, he never really took to holding the bottle himself (maybe because he was primarily breastfeeding). So we never had an issue with him throwing and breaking the bottles.

We use Chicco bottles! It’s actually the only ones my baby will take. The lansinoh and mam nipples fit on them too if your baby prefers either of those
