 - Best bottles for newborns!Love that they are made of glass - tried the Born Free for the Bisphenol-A free plastic, but they dripped all over the place. Love that the nipple truly is slow flow. And really love the price! Rating: - Great bottles that really don't have plasticI have now used these bottles with 2 children (the first time 17 years ago and am using them again with my 5 month old) and they work wonderfully. I recently decided to buy the Dr. Brown's because I had heard that the venting system was great. What I found, however, is that Dr. Brown's glass bottles use a plastic straw made from potentially hazardous materials so we returned those right away. Evenflo glass bottles are easy to clean with no small peices that require special cleaning tools. They also don't get scratched up like plastic. They are sturdy (we dropped one and it rolled under the car without breaking.) I do not use the standard nipples because I have always preferred Gerber Nuk but the batch of these I ordered did come with silicone nipples. Rating: - Excellent!We LOVE these glass bottles. I have dropped these all over the place and never one has broken. Though, I have yet to drop one outside on the pavement. My daughter had a hard time with the natural rubber nipples at first (when she was less than one month old). She wasn't strong enough to work it and ended up swallowing a lot of air causing colic. YUCK! So, we switched to the silicone for about 2 or 3 weeks (easier to pull the milk through), so she learned how to get her milk more easily. Then we switched back to the natural rubber nipples, no excessive gas problems since. Also, we were screwing the rings on too tightly, so we had to loosen those up a TINY bit to allow a little air in when she sucks. I love that they aren't terribly expensive. Babies and kids are expensive enough, so I was thankful to be able to find something I felt comfortable with that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. We have 6 4oz and 6 8oz, for us that's more than enough bottles for our now 5 month old. If you are worried about the weight, they are heavy in comparison to a plastic one. Our DD is beginning to figure out how to hold and grasp them. We have to help her, but it's no big deal to me. Rating:  - Evenflo 4-Ounce Nursergreat glass bottles, only problem i have had with them is the nipples. the silicon evenflow nipples (slow flow) that came with them colapse. i purchased gerber slow flow nipples and they did NOT seal, and would leak pretty bad as soon as the baby started to suck. Not really sure if the problem was the gerber nipples or the size of the ring caps on the bottles. Rating: - Back to the BasicsThe bottles are great, the nipples were not so much. My son wouldn't drink using the nipples provided, but using other nipples solved that problem. I felt very safe heating up his milk in this glass container.
