Ridiculously enough, it is almost impossibe to find glass baby bottles at major retailers. Everyone is selling plastic, but I am very uneasy about the whole issue with plastic and leaching of toxic components into the milk, so I decided to find glass bottles.
We went to this cute independent store and found glass bottles. Well, to be honest, one is glass, but the other one is plastic, but bisphenol free and therefore safe.
Spent over 30 bucks on 2 bottles, which is a lot compared to cheapy plastic ones. However, I would much rather buy the safer alternative.

I'm gonna BF, but for DH to be involved, and my family who wants to feed her also, we got bottles. We got the plastic Playtex ones, but with the Drop-Ins, since I've read that those are completely safe. I looked at the glass ones, but the drop ins seemed really convenient and are not really expensive. Its scary how much stuff is always being recalled, especially thinking how many people had already used it for their children!

I got the playtex drop ins as well so my fiance can feed. The liners don't contain the toxin BPA.

I'll be BF-ing exclusively but doing human milk banking so I presume they provide me with plastic bottles?

I will be BF as well, but my husband wants to have his own supply of milk and play mommy when I am away. Silly man.

I went to Walmart and actually found a 3pack of BPA free bottles by Nuby. They're the platics ones that are colored and only paid 7 bucks for them. Also got 3 glass bottles from a family friend, pretty sure thats all I need for now as I'll be breast feeding too (hopefully).

I plan on breastfeeding, so bottles aren't the biggest issue for me. But I did buy two glass bottles to start with, for only 3 dollars each. Where are you shopping at?????? I got mine in Toys R Us and they're just great.

What are these drop-ins that you're talking about? How much do they cost and can you fit them into any plastic bottle? What exactly do they do??

They're not expensive either which is great, I got a ''starting kit box'' with 4 bottles and some drop-ins bags for 20$
