Go for it if you...
You want an unbreakable, fully inert bottle for daycare and travel
You are switching a breastfed baby between breast and bottle
You want independent lab proof, not just the brand's word, on contaminants
Your baby is gassy and you want anti-colic venting
You want the most inert material touching your baby's milk and mostly feed at home
You are switching a breastfed baby between breast and bottle
You want independent lab proof, not just the brand's word, on contaminants
The main thing to know
No major safety gap stands out; the main trade-offs are about feeding features and daily convenience.
Glass is the safest material inside but it can break and is heavier, so think about whether it fits daycare and on-the-go use.
Skip this if you...
You specifically want a glass bottle for the most inert material
You want the lowest-priced bottle and are not focused on materials
You need a lightweight, drop-proof bottle for daycare or stroller life
Your baby struggles with gas and needs a strong anti-colic vent
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
