I think you should be researching and highlighting only glass baby bottles.

mickey, it would be great to hear why you think only glass bottles? My assumption is the recent marketing by glass bottle companies touting that they are BPA free and thus "safer" than poly-carbonate bottles. While glass bottles are BPA free, the jury is still out on the true benefit of this.

The reason we chose poly-carbonate options, they're durable. Bottles get tossed into bags, carried everywhere we go and are thrown by infants and toddlers. The possibility that a glass bottle will get chipped or broken are very real, in our opinion that creates too great of risk for little ones.

We have recently updated our Baby Bottle research and reviews to include only BPA free options. All three "Best Of" elections are made with durable plastic, but they don't contain BPA, which is used in polycarbonate bottles.

The impact of BPA is still being researched and you'll continue to hear advocates/defendants on both side of the debate. At 3LUXE we decided to update our selections to include three awesome BPA free bottles. As a parent of a newborn, I know sleep is valuable. I don't want you lying asleep at night, worrying the BPA in your baby bottles may have harmful effects on your baby. Sleep well knowing our "Best Of" baby bottle selections are safe for you and your baby.

All the best,

Bill

I just ran into a friend who had purchased glass baby bottles to avoid BPA. She knocked one off the counter, it shattered - the rest of the glass bottles are in recycling and they're making the switch to a "plastic" BPA free baby bottle.
