Glass Bottles

[Solandia]

super informative thread!

I would be a little scared, too, honestly.

do these parents use glass sippies or glass cups?

Stainless steel! Kleen Kanteen is popular. Very nice,
There are nipples for the kleen kanteen, but i have never seen anyone using them as a bottle irl. Just as a sports bottle or sippy.

prepare it before you go.

breastmilk keeps just fine out of the fridge/freezer for long periods of time, or if you're worried/licensing says no, prepare the bottle and stick it in a lunchbag or something. If it's really hot out, baby might appreciate the cool drink! ::

this mom just told me that if he starts a bottle he has to finish it or just throw out the rest..
I thought that breast milk can sit for a long time at room temp.

I really need to do a refresher course on this.
I think I will look up a bf website like lalaeach league
I will always do what the parents wants but it just seems so wasteful , I know how much of a hassle it is to pump

no but when they brought the older kid at 18 months he had an 8 oz. glass bottle and I immediately ended that situation.
Toddlers throw bottles! ::
so he just had plastic sippy cups from day one with me.

I didn't even know they still made glass bottles. If walmart don't have it, I guess I thought it didn't exist and they don't have them here...::

every place including Walmart has them here.

I have a new baby whose parents provide glass bottles.
Are they really necessary?
Do you allow them?
These bottles make me a nervous wreck, I thought they only did glass bottles in the 50's . She send some plastic ones too and I seriously want to just wash the plastic ones and reuse them and not deal with glass.
I have a whole bunch of curious and grabby 2-3 year olds.

Glass bottles are against our regulations for feeding due to several incidents. I accept glass bottles for storage but use plastic for feeding.

I don't worry about glass or plastic. I provide all bottles and cups. Breast milk storage has to be in bags.

Me, too. I use only Dr. Brown's bottles, and suggest to parents that they use the same for consistency. It's such a PITA to have 4 different kinds of bottles to deal with!

I take any kind of bottles the parents bring. Glass or plastic doesn't matter to me. If an accident happens, it happens. The only time bottles are out is if it's feeding time and my kids do not have access except the one drinking it. I have parents bring in the bottles already made up (whether formula or bm) and labeled and they sit in fridge until used. Then I put them in the bottle warmer so no use of microwave at all. Then they get rinsed and put away. The glass bottles look like they are pretty thick and that it would take a bit of force to break it.
