Great bottles. I tried the glass Even Flows and they leaked. I tried the Born Free and they only have them in wide neck and my lactation consultant advised me against their nipples because of their shape.

Finally - I'm so glad to get these glass Dr. Brown's! No leaking. Great anti-gas, anti-reflux benefits of Dr. Brown's. (My first son was diagnosed with reflux and hated eating and then we switched to Dr. Brown's and he had no more problems and didn't need medication.)

I feel safe about warming up formula in these bottles. I don't think I'm overly paranoid about plastics - try drinking warm water that's been in a plastic cup - you can taste the difference.

I don't know what the other reviewers were talking about the ink washing off - mine have withstood washings and no fading at all.

I used the plastic Dr. Brown's bottles for my son a few years ago and I think they are wonderful. I was really excited to see that they had come out with glass bottles in response to the plastic concerns. Almost immediately the labeling on the bottles started flaking off. I haven't even put them in the dishwasher, hand washing only! The labeling should really be etched like the evenflo glass. Don't buy these if you want to know how many ounces you have in the bottle. After 2 weeks worth of use these appear to be 10 years old! Disappointed!

I like these bottles, we switched to glass bottles due to BPA concerns. Dr. Brown's bottles are great for me because they fit onto my Medela breast pump, so I can pump directly into these bottles. This is a big time saver, I do not have to wash two bottles for pumping plus another bottle for eating, I can use two Dr. Brown's bottles to pump into. The only thing I dislike is the straw valve, it is plastic and it adds to the amount of dishes to do, but it does keep excess gas out of baby's tummy, so for colicky babies this would be the best bottle out there!

I love these bottles..this is my second baby and the second time we have used them. I did decide to use glass this time and love them. You can warm your formula or breast milk up very quickly just under running water. You will need to learn how to use this system but once you do...its no big deal. I also am a huge supporter of Dr. Browns because he lives in my town and I trust what he has accomplished with these bottles. I will say his old bottles went up to 8 oz on the big ones and 4 oz on the small ones (which these do not..7 and 3) so that makes things difficult b/c of how formula is scooped out but again minimal effort involved. Another issue is that the glass bottles leak...I figured out that after you shake your bottle and warm it under the water..just simply loosen the lid again and allow the milk to run back out of the tube and into the bottle. Takes a second, but I have learned this does prevent the milk from dripping on your babys neck..Hope that helps people:)

I replaced the old plastic doctor Browns with these a couple of days ago. Got scared over the whole BPH thing. Anyhow I got them home and sterilized them by boiling them for about three minutes as directed. As soon as I took the bottles out of the water I noticed that the label starting rubbing off. The label seems to wear of more and more with each wash. The ounce measuring chart is almost completly rubbed of on one of the bottles. The plastic Dr. Browns label never rubbed off. The should of just etched the label is the glass or something of that nature. Also I wish they were at least 8 oz. I hope they will put out a larger version. Overall my 5 month old son is happy with these bottles.

I purchased 4 Dr. Brown's Natural Flow glass bottle systems because my husband and I don't want to expose our little girl to toxins in plastic bottles which diffuse into breast milk. Dr. Brown's glass bottle solves the plastic bottle problem but introduce another with the off-gassing vent assembly insert that yields the "natural flow."

When the bottles arrived I was happy with the glass bottle, but the chemical smell was overwhelming. The source of the smell was the neoprene-like insert to be installed inside the bottle. The neoprene gives off a strong chemical smell that would be in direct contact with my baby's milk and diffuse into the milk. (Remember from chemistry, diffusion is the process of things moving from high concentrations to low concentrations.)

Concerned, my husband called the Dr. Brown's company and spoke to the director of operations, a chemical engineer. He would not confirm or deny that chemicals in the neoprene would diffuse into the milk and tried to reassure us by saying that the material was food grade and FDA-approved. We are not reassured. The plastic bottles with BPA are still being used as FDA-approved containers. Just because it is food grade or FDA-approved does not mean it is toxin-free.

Be careful of greenwashing - the selective display of a virtuous attribute of a product meant to impart goodness on the whole thing. Please add a thread if you find a bottle system that doesn't smell like a plastics factory - we are still looking and our baby will be born in December.

I was so excited when I found out that Dr. Brown's was coming out with these. I too was worried about chemicals leaching into the milk from plastic bottles. I got them, and not only are they 7 oz. (why 7? strange size, too small) but the lettering on the outside of the bottles has already started coming off. I love that Dr. Brown's bottles help with my baby's gas, but I was much happier with the performance of the plastic bottles.

We've been using Dr. Brown's glass bottles for 7 months now and have experienced no problems. We don't have a dishwasher so we handwash everything and I wonder how many folks have experienced problems due to deformation of the plastic parts in the dishwasher. Never had a leak, and we haven't broken a bottle yet. We have graduated through the nipple sizes though. Those worried about comments regarding complexity of parts need not worry. Assembly is simply pressing the plastic tube over the beige fitting, placing the nipple in the screw cap holder, putting milk in the bottle and screwing the top on. The only thing you have to remember is that you can not warm this bottle assembled with the lid screwed on tight or the milk crawls up the tube and screws up the system. No problem though. Just loosen the top if you want to warm it. Personally we warm in the Lansinoh milk bags because it takes maybe 90 seconds under running water to get to temp and the baby is not a patient critter. Clean up is quick and the tiny brush is supplied.

I love this bottle. My baby is breastfed and takes an occasional bottle. She has no problem going back and forth from breast to bottle with these. She's also never gotten gas after taking a bottle and rarely spits up.

I love the fact that they're glass. Sure the BPA free plastic is safe this week but I wouldn't be suprised if they find something toxic in it later down the road. Glass has been around forever and is safe.

As for the complaints that other reviewers have had-- I've never had one of these bottles leak before. Never had a nipple colapse (stage one is all I've used). So far, the paint isn't chipping off but I do hand wash them to prevent this problem. And as for the extra parts to clean, people are so lazy! It literally takes a few seconds to clean these two extra parts!

I love these bottles and feel good about using them for my child.

Hello, we have been using these bottles for 8 months now and are very happy with this product, easy on baby's ears and stomach, I recommend buying glass bottles (easier to wash and heats faster then plastic ones), we also bought electric steam heater and microwave sterilizer for these glass bottles all worked out very well for us.
