This bottle scored properly in our assessments for leaking. We did not expertise any leaking whereas feeding or transporting these bottles from place to put. Lack of leaks is a declare a lot of the bottles we checked out could not make, however we do fear that the excessive variety of elements will increase the possibilities that the bottle might be assembled incorrectly resulting in leaking we did not expertise. Solely Lifefactory and the Munchkin Latch scored as properly in our assessments for leakage.

Although the nipple on this bottle is smaller in measurement than a number of the extra “breast” like choices, it appeared simple for infants to make use of and the smaller measurement diminished leaking mess and was simple to latch onto. The nipple we examined was gentle and really related in measurement and form to the one used within the Lifefactory bottle. Dr. Brown’s nipples are available in quite a lot of circulate/stage choices for infants with various power and sucking talents.

We like that tumbler is less complicated to wash than plastic. Whereas this bottle has a cumbersome quantity of elements and slender neck, we do like that the glass bottle physique is less complicated to wash than its plastic competitors. It doesn’t retain smells or gather the milk fats residue like plastic choices appears to.

This bottle scored above common for ease of use in our assessments. We like that the container is Borosilicate glass, which is extra sturdy than common glass and fewer prone to break or shatter. The infants in our assessments had no bother latching or feeding from the nipple. We additionally like that this bottle heats faster than a number of the different glass choices which suggests much less time warming and ready for a feeding with a fussy child. We additionally like that this bottle comes with a silicone sleeve just like the one discovered on the Lifefactory bottle. In contrast to the one discovered on the Lifefactory bottle, it’s simple to take away and clear. This sleeve could make the heavy glass bottle simpler for child to carry and assist forestall accidents ought to it’s by accident dropped.

This bottle claims its subtle venting system contained in the bottle will forestall colic and fuel, and whereas we appreciated the thought of it and did not have any bother with it, we weren’t actually capable of inform if it features higher than different competing vents. What we will say is infants did not appear gassier after utilizing the bottle.

We like this bottle is made within the USA and is Borosilicate. Sadly, the elements inside that make up the venting system are all plastic. Glass is less complicated to wash, would not retain smells and would not permit vitamins to cling to the facet like plastic does. Nevertheless, the plastic elements sitting immersed within the bottle type of defeat the aim of the glass bottle and whereas they’re freed from BPA and phthalates, we nonetheless aren’t massive followers of plastic with a concern that they may leach endocrine disruptors into the contents of the bottle.

Dislikes

This bottle is difficult and has a number of elements. We aren’t keen on what number of elements it takes to make the vent system as a result of it means dad and mom have a greater probability of doubtless placing it collectively improper, which might result in leaking. We additionally assume the extra elements make it more durable to wash. Not solely do you want a particular brush to get into the small area, however you may actually need to work to get all of the nooks and crannies correctly clear. Actually, we discovered it was nearly unimaginable to inform if the elements had been clear or not. In whole, there are seven elements to this bottle. The slender neck additionally means you want a smaller bottle brush than the usual if you wish to get it inside with out a wrestle.

This bottle is on the heavier facet, which isn’t surprising for glass. This implies it’s heavier than plastic and is the heaviest glass choice we checked out. The load together with the difficult venting system and a number of elements make it not as engaging as the opposite glass choices and we weren’t satisfied that it helps sufficient with air consumption to make it well worth the problem.

Conclusion

We actually like glass bottles and Dr. Brown’s Pure Movement Glass is without doubt one of the nicer ones we checked out. It didn’t leak in our assessments and comes with a simple to take away silicone sleeve for simple gripping and fewer probability of breaking. The child testers in our group appeared to love the nipples and had no bother latching regardless of being smaller and fewer breast like. Sadly, the difficult 7 half venting system that’s troublesome to assemble and time consuming to wash, plus rougher edges on the threaded neck, make this not a fan favourite and we most popular the Philips AVENT glass and Lifefactory over this selection.
