Thread: "What are you thoughts on glass baby bottles?"
We went with pigeon wide neck in glass. I have plastic for daycare and travelling (like going on the plane, because it's lighter). Since they're the same the teats are interchangeable. The glass have been great. So easy to clean, don't need replacing, no discolouration. I'll on sell them when we're finished. Bit more expensive upfront but we've been on bottles since day one and they hold up well. Highly recommend.

Thread: "Help picking a bottle"
Pigeon are really good. We used the wide neck ones and really liked them, although we also used the little slim bottles early on as well. I personally found he threw up less violently when we switched to pigeon bottles from tommee tippee and no name ones. Tommee tippee the flow was way too fast until he was about 8 months old.

Thread: "Are the glass pigeon bottles really worth the hype?"
Depends on how you’re planning on feeding. If you’re planning on exclusively bottle feeding glass would be better in the long run because has less chance of the bottle leaching chemicals or microplastics, easier to clean, more durable over time and have better heat ratings (if formula feeding you will need to sterilise after every use and you’ll have more options on how to do that being a higher heat rating). On the other hand if you’re planning to breast feed with the occasional bottle I personally use plastic and it is fine. My bub is EBF but will take a BM bottle here and there and we use the plastic pigeon ones with no issue. I think the pigeon wide neck are raved about for BF babies as they are similar to the nipple and a lot of people have luck with getting a BF baby to take these. That said a lot of BF babies also won’t take them. Bottles are truly a personal preference thing for babies and sometimes are a hit and miss on what babies will take If you haven’t had Bub yet and are looking into what options you have for bottles I would get 2 different types to start off with to try and see if Bub takes to them. If you’re planning on BF or mixed feeding I would just get 1 of each to start and then once you know bubs preference I would stock up. If you’re planning to formula feed I would get 2 or 3 of each bottle and have an easy sterilisation method handy (microwave bags are great in the beginning especially if you’re in hospital still) and pick 2 different brands of bottles that are readily available to you and once you know what bub will take you can send someone out to stock up on more.

Pigeon wide neck with SS teats. Only ones our speech pathologist endorsed do a breastfed baby Look up the “triangle test” for teats from an independent source (not a bottle company)

Thread: "Are the glass pigeon bottles really worth the hype?"
We have a mix of all three types of the pigeon wide neck right now. Started with glass, and I do like them better, and have got a few PPSU and one PP one floating around now. I got them for eventually sending to daycare when sourcing a replacement for some glass ones I managed to break (a me problem). I think the biggest possible pro for glass (beyond just straight up they’re not plastic if you don’t like plastic) is they don’t have a limited lifespan, you won’t need to replace them after 6-12 months like others. If you had multiple children, then I suppose it could work out to be cheaper in the long run to use glass than replacing plastic multiple times. It’s also easier to heat and/or cool them in a mug of water or by running under the tap etc if you need to adjust the milk temp, because glass conducts heat better than plastic. I likely wouldn’t have noticed this if I wasn’t using multiple types at the same time, so no big deal really.
