What's the advantage of the glass bottle over the normal plastic ones?

Plastic bottles also discolor and get cloudy and funky after a while. Glass is like brand new always. It doesn't have that stinky plastic smell; glass is nonreactive, unlike plastic which has many harmful things that leach into the milk. Also don't ever heat plastic bottles because that makes the plastic get into the milk much easier.

well to be quite honest i dont know....i think its just a mental thing that the glass bottles are cleaner and safer than reusing plastic all the time. the glass bottle is heavier tho and the plastic easier to handle....but the glass doesnt smell like milk even after you wash and boil t unlike the plastic.

The glass bottles are much easier to clean - think swish rather than scrub. Also some people feel they are safer for baby than plastic (even though the Avent plastic bottles are BPA free). I prefer the glass but my daycare only takes plastic because glass cracks in their bottle warmer. However for pumping I use the glass 4 oz glass bottles because I feel more comfortable having my milk "sit" in them all day while I am at work rather than plastic.

No nasty chemicals from warm milk in plastic. Even the BPA free plastic bottles release different things into the milk. Glass is a much safer option for a little one.

Glass bottle is easy to clean. Also contains no chemicals. This bottle is super heavy duty. We dropped it on the floor a few times, it is still in good condition.

No dangerous plastic residues and you can boil in water to sterilise and will remain usable after generations...besides you collaborate with the planet by not stimulating the plastic (oil) industries that dumps this plastic garbage in oceans and poor countries.

I use the standard 5 gallon plastic bottles which it holds easily and very stable. I'm pretty sure that it would hold the glass ones effectively.

It is much easier to access the bottle at the plastic end and leave the cork in place. The opposite end is made to be opened. I did use that end and it was easy. One of my guests receiving it tried to open the cork end and had a hard time.

I think it's ok, but considering your baby is 4 mothes, I think glass bottle is better than the plastic one

The ones that come with it are plastic, though I have seen that both metal and glass bottles are sold seperatly.

No but you want to get the glass bottle version because the plastic can leech into the DMSO which can be somewhat toxic to the bodyhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001E0T80S?pc_redir=1395416039&robot;_redir=1

Definitely tastes better in GLASS! ALSO, if you want to sanitize the bottle, it is dishwasher safe. I think the plastic ones seem 'icky' after a while, even with a good handwash (around the lip of the bottle). Plus they expire and you have to buy new anyway. The glass ones are substantially heavier, but well worth it. I bought a whole new sodastream system just so I could use the glass bottles! I was not happy with those rather expensive plastic ones that you just have to keep remembering to replace. No BPA worries with glass.

It's a wonderful glass bottle!!! No Worries, it's all glass except for the lid! Like you, I think Glass is the Best!!!

The bottle does seem to be more durable especially with the paint on them but will still dent if dropped on a hard surface. I had a Klean Kanteen and wasn't a huge fan due to the denting but I love the Hydro Flask. I own an 18 and 32 oz but use the 32 oz far more. I have a few Nalgene too but hardly use them any more since getting the 32 oz because the Hydro Flask doesn't sweat and keeps liquids cold or hot for hours.

Nothing from my research. Both appear to have the same features. Only notable differences would be aesthetics such as colors on the plastic

thanks for the information. Just curious why prefer glass container than plastic since the incubating temperature is so low. We are not cooking it with high temperature.

I don't see difference in container, because plastic is neutral as well as glass. If you store container in dry and dark place, it's all the same. If you keep it in direct sunlight, glass is a must. On another hand, if you drop it, consequences are different too.

The cap outside is stainless. The inside is plastic, with a stainless disk/plug where the juice or water would contact the lid. I don't know if the plastic is for a better seal or to minimize abrasions on the top of bottle. I do recommend the bottles if your looking for a glass bottle with something better than a simple plastic cap.

I didn't see that. I use mine with glass bottles. It heats the formula up really quick. Just be careful of the hot glass and you have to play around with the timing on how fast it heats the liquid because it's much faster then a plastic bottle. I only use glass bottles now with it at night because it works so quickly and I don't want to listen to a screaming baby for 2 minutes with a plastic bottle when a glass one heats in a minute or less! But again, play around with it if you do choose to use a glass bottle so you don't BURN YOURSELF OR BABY.

It is easier to drink from this bottle as opposed to the other (soft-sided) one that Brita has. It works like a straw. I really like this bottle so far. Very few leaks and easy to use.

Plastic. If they were glass you wouldn't be able to squeeze the bottle and get the product out.

I don't have glass bottles but my plastic bottles come out very hot. It comes with tongs though to use to take them out. Pretty handy
