 Do not buy it. August 4, 2008
The bottle part is all right. The cap and nipple have poor quality. You have to tighten the cap very hard to seal the bottle, otherwise milk will leak. I bought bottles with slow flow nipples, and my baby does not like it. Even when I change to Evenflo fast flow nipple, she does not like it either. There is no hole in the fast flow nipple, only a "x" on it. It is poorly designed, and it takes my baby very long time to finish one bottle of milk. I would not recommend this product.
Nice glass bottle and BPA free August 1, 2008
I like the fact that is glass and BPA free. I voted 4 stars because it leaks when mixing the formula. I am getting the Born free for the 8oz, because it's wide neck for easy cleaning, leak free and BPA free.
 Perfect Baby Bottles July 27, 2008
Great bottles, come with nipples too! I did not want to use plastic for my son so I used these and they worked great. I placed breast milk in them for others to give a bottle to my son andthey worked just great! Never broke and easy to clean and store.
Great bottles! July 25, 2008
These bottles are fantastic. BPA free (of course...they're glass), sturdy, easy to clean. My son is 4 months and we haven't had any issues yet. I did order the 'comfi' nipple, as I breast feed and they are more simlar to the breast. Also, these are SO much cheaper than other glass bottles (which I have a few of), and they do the job just as well. I would recommend.....
 Good glass, but frustrating design July 24, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
When our Avent bottles started to get scratched and replacements were no longer available (BPA and all that), we decided to switch to glass.
OK, these bottles are glass--that's good. Also, ours came with silicone nipples, also good (vs. latex). However, the rest of the bottle is an exercise in poor execution.
1) The bottle is too small! All available formula mixes 240ml water/4 scoops formula, but these 8oz bottles simply don't have enough room for the water plus formula, so we're reduced to 180ml/3 scoops. The 4oz bottles will take two scoops just fine, so you're only gaining 50% in moving up to a supposedly double-sized bottle.
2) They leak! Oh LORDY, they leak! Too tight, they leak. Too loose, they leak. Just exactly the right torque on the collar, and they might not leak, if you've got the lid slammed down as hard as possible. Of course then they won't vent.
3) The nipple collapses quite easily, and is much slower to feed than it should be. This is partly related to the venting mentioned above, but it bears repeating.
4) The opening is too small! OK, I know that this is a standard and the nipples/collars will fit on premixed bottles of formula, but it's a BAD standard! The Avent bottles were so much easier to pour formula into, in comparison.
Why can't they (or anyone!) fix these things? The cheap plastic (BPA-free!) Gerber bottles are absolutely leak-proof. The Avent BPA-containing bottles are easy to fill and close to leak-proof at the collar, but have a terrible lid design (which melts just above boiling). The glass Evenflo don't vent, and leak all over. Haven't yet tried any of the others, but I don't see anything that meets all the criteria for a perfect baby bottle:
1) Proper size
2) Leak-proof
3) Glass
4) Silicone nipple
5) Vents
6) Simple design (which drops the Dr. Brown, from what I've seen)
7) Idiot-proof (because who wants to mess around with getting a bottle _just_ right at 3:30am with a screaming baby on one arm?)
8) Affordable - the small (5oz) Born Free bottles are FIFTEEN DOLLARS EACH locally! That's just ridiculous, folks.
In short; They're decent, as good and bad as anything else out there, but not as good as they should be.
