Evenflo 8-Ounce Classic Glass Nurser 3 Pack Reviews

• No more plastic products

  
  By A2OKB7GCQWHCN4 on 2006-12-30
  I grew up in Taiwan at the time we were manufacturing most of the plastic products for the world. I was taught at very early age to avoid using plastic products for serving and storing food, also to avoid even smelling or touching them too often. Before I had my baby, these glass bottles were the first thing I was looking for to get ready for my baby. I had a hard time finding them in any stores, and was so happy that I found them on Amazon.com
  After I ordered the 8 oz sizes, I emailed Amazon.com service to help me find the 4 oz bottles, the customer service lady April was so helpful with each step through ordering.
  I love the bottles, had them for the last 6 months. They fit perfectly to the breast pump. I needed about 15 bottles per size, just to have enough to also store additional for freezing, or when natural disaster hit (no power to wash often, etc).
  The rings and caps wear off faster. After 6 months, I have about 3/4 of the original caps, and will need to find more to purchase. The glass is still like new. They are so easy to clean. I find my baby has no difficulties holding it with my help, not one has broken.
  Originally she spit quite often, we tried different types of Evenflo nipples, and she got used to the bottles and one of the nipples, and we burp her to comfort her. She grew out of the spitting stage fairly quickly. Give them a try and don't give up on them, they have been around for many babies in history and they should be fine.
  I wish this quality glass product can be promoted often and help this generation to use safer products for all ages.
  
  

• Evenflo Glass Bottles + Medela Nipples = VENT WELL, SIMPLY THE BEST!

  
  By A3VHV1RVBW5L9U on 2008-02-22
  We read alot about the BPA concerns and they make us nervous too. We tried Dr. Browns', Avent, Born Free, etc. and when we discovered that Medela nipples do vent when use with Evenflo glass bottles, we are so happy! Our baby loves this combination too! This system is economical, BPA-free, and simple (comparing to those of Dr. Browns' and Born Free's). We've been using the system for 5+ months and want to share this with you all...
  
  Evenflo glass bottles, made in Mexico ($5 for three) = economically BPA-free!
  Medela nipples, made in Germany ($5 for three) = soft, right flowing rate (slow or medium) for newborns and infants (you can buy Medela nipples at Babies R Us stores.)
  
  One thing to remember is that you should tighten the cap just about right (not too tight) or else the system won't vent.
  
  

• Great!

  
  By A19OPV7E75W50F on 2007-01-12
  I have been doing so much research about plastic bottles and finally broke down and bought these. They are great and so easy to clean if you have a dishwasher! I am so glad that I made the decision to switch they are great and so much healthier for baby! I wish that I would have done this with my first child!
  
  

• Try them!

  
  By A2YRBPOVSNUP0G on 2007-01-11
  Don't be scared of using glass. We've been using them for months and not one has broken. They are not too heavy, they're better for the environment, and better for the milk and baby.
  
  

• great bottles!

  
  By A2HTY6R9D7PIEB on 2007-02-06
  These glass bottles are perfect for storing breastmilk in the freezer, as glass is the best material to store milk in to prevent losing vital nutrients in breastmilk. As much as 60% of important antibodies can be lost when milk is frozen in plastic bags/bottles!
  
  
• Glass bottles are a healthier choice!
  By A1M6HK8K7UZ0WW on 2006-02-16
  I have researched plastic bottles extensively. They are known to leak a little cancer causing chemical into the baby's milk when they are heated. I am not some wacky nut job who thinks everything gives you cancer, but when it comes to our children's health why take a chance. I use these glass bottles at home with my daughter and strongly recommend them to my friends. I know we can't protect are kids from everything, but I am going to do as much as I can for my children.
  
  
• Okay, but it doesn't vent
  By AZ656JP379N4C on 2007-09-24
  These are your old-fashioned, sturdy glass bottles. So if you're used to a Dr. Browns', which vents so well, you'll be disappointed. My son sucks and sucks and when I take the bottle out of his mouth, air gets pulled in through the nipple, creating all kinds of bubbles. I tried to use the Dr. Brown's interior venting system, but it's just a hair too long to fit in the bottle. If they were just a bit shorter, they'd fit. I'm starting to think the extra money for the Born Free bottles is worth it.
  
  
• good, classic standard
  By A2JXCOUGYS5Y4J on 2007-07-17
  no plastic-leaching worries from these bottles due to potential dangers of #7 plastic bottles that most plastic baby bottles are made of. i was also surprised at how affordable they were. the item was shipped quickly. my only slight complaint is that i wish these came with silicone nipples instead.
  
  also, my opinion is that there's no need to buy a 4oz bottle since babies will quickly grow out of that stage. if you're short on money, just get the 8oz ones - you'll be holding the bottle when feeding a baby who can only consume smaller amount of milk, so no need to worry about the larger size for the baby.
  
  
• Great for storing breastmilk!
  By A1GZXDD8M5XU3S on 2001-09-15
  While I would NEVER feed my baby with these bottles, I have found them to be fantastic for storing breastmilk in the freezer. Unlike the plastic bags which can split or spill (and impart a nasty plastic smell), they are durable and don't freeze into weird shapes. Most importantly, glass has been found to be the best material for retaining the maximum immune cells in the milk - the slick glass walls don't allow the important immune components to stick to the bottle. These do take up more freezer space, but I find it well worth the space to know that my baby is getting the best I can give him when he's not nursing with me. Too bad these are so hard to find!
  
  
• Evenflo Glass Bottles
  By A3HZ6TU3YH1TPN on 2007-05-30
  I chose to go with classic glass bottles because of safety reasons, and for the most part, am happy with my choice. The bottles are great and easy to clean, but the nipples are hard and unyielding. I actually use my Dr. Brown's nipples instead. I also use the internal vent from my Dr. Brown's bottles without the tube. It works great!
  
  
• Solution to feeding my baby
  By A1P708DJ39TQ4W on 2005-05-18
  I had trouble getting my breastfed baby to take an Avent bottle (which my first took beautifully) so I called the lactation consultants at the hospital to ask their advice. They suggested the Evenflo classic bottles which are like these except plastic with the clear nipple. They worked great. After swearing by Avent with my first, I never imagined the solution to feeding my second would be an "old-fashioned" type bottle. It works though so I will stick with them.
  
  
• This is a great product!
  By A8CY2S0Z4RQWH on 2007-01-04
  I really liked these bottles-they reminded me of the bottles from a long time ago. They are more sanitary and easy to sterile. This is just what I needed. They are sturdy too.
  
  
• Clean + Pure Feeding
  By A3KBP6DEQJLBKS on 2007-02-26
  I cringe at the idea that I fed my baby from heated up polycarbonate bottles. I might not be able to breastfeed my baby, but with my new glass bottles, at least I know that I am feeding her the purest form of formula I can possibly give. She hated the taste of the latex rubber nipples so I bought some silicone ones and was successful.
  When I consider the epidemic of autism in this country, I am dedicated to buying pure, organic baby products and avoiding using plastic products especially when heating in the microwave.
  
  
  
• Cleaner than Plastic
  By A7N3USEW3F72F on 2007-05-08
  I love these glass bottles because they are so easy to get clean. And I don't have to worry about the harboring bacteria because it's non-porous!
  I also don't have to worry about the chemicals that are used to manufacture plastic bottles.
  
  
• Good bottle
  By A2R6TV1GO759ER on 2008-02-26
  We bought these bottles after reading about the BPA scare. They are the classic thick glass bottles that I remember from years ago.
  
  We have a daughter who transitioned between nursing and Avent bottles seamlessly, but the switch to these bottles just didn't work. We even bought the silicone nipples in the hopes that she would accept the new bottles, but she just cried and cried and couldn't seem to latch onto the new nipple and eat. (She was about 3-4 months when we tried the switch.) Also, these bottle obviously do not vent.
  
  We also had some problems with heating up the glass bottles in the bottle warmer. Since our daughter was drinking pumped breastmilk, all of our bottles went from the fridge to the bottle warmer, directly. There were multiple occassions that the bottle couldn't take the stress of the change in temperature and cracked.
  
  With all the difficulties, we switched to a different bottle system (Born Free) that has a wider nipple, a vent, and is made of BPA free plastic. I believe Born Free also offers glass bottles that fit their nipples and vent system, which might be worth looking into -but the bottles are much more expensive than these.
  
  Having said all that, I still do use the Evenflo glass bottles that we have left. I can pump directly into them with my Medela Pump in Style breast pump without needing any adaptors. If I am travelling with the glass bottles, I just slip the bottle into a cute sock or stocking to prevent the glass bottles from bumping into each other. Besides the cracking during a temperature change, they are quite sturdy, and very easy to clean.
  
  
• Perfect... hard to find in stores.
  By A2B5GY59D896WT on 2007-01-10
  Excellent product... very difficult to find in stores. Can safely heat breastmilk and formula in a warmer... healthier than heating in plastic.
  
  
• Highly Recommend These
  By AHT1PI9TWLON9 on 2007-08-19
  I originally bought these bottles becuase I didn't like the idea of storing breastmilk in plastic. A few months later I come to find out a that most of the plastic bottles leach chemicals into milk... guess I just lucked out by going with these from the start.
  
  I love that they clean up so easily, don't scratch like the plastic bottles and if you are worried they might break... don't! My son kicked one off of his stroller tray and it fell onto our patio.. .and it fell HARD! Didn't break - not even a chip! The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because I don't like that they came with latex nipples, which I have an allergy to... repeated exposure to latex is known to cause allergies, which I wouldn't want to induce in my child. I have been using dr. brown nipples. They fit but don't seem to vent air very well. I did buy a few of silicone evenflow nipples, which vent better but my son doesn't seem to like as much.
  
  
• Everyone should have these!
  By A85NS71QR3VLO on 2007-10-10
  A. These came much more quickly than Amazon said they would -a plus.
  
  B. I was doubtful that they would actually fit my Medela Pump 'n Style pump...but they do! No need to do a cumbersome transfer, which was the only thing keeping me from purchasing them. Since many of the nutrients and immune factors stay in the plastic bottle, pumping in to plastic and then transfering to glass didn't seem to make much sense...but not a problem with these!
  
  C. They're heavy and durable, and I can't imagine them breaking without serious effort.
  
  With all the worries about the chemicals in plastics, these have taken a real load off my mind. I recommend them to all mothers, even if they only help with your stress level. They seem to only be available at Amazon, which is a shame. While you're looking, dont forget to buy them in the larger size as well: Evenflo Classic 8 oz. Glass Nurser - 6-Pack. It'll come in handy later.
  
  Oh, also: My baby is fine with the nipples that came with them, but he's not really the picky sort.
  
  [Edit: After using these for a few months, I have noticed that they get and stay colder than the plastic bottles, and seem to keep the milk in the fridge fresher longer. Enjoy!]
  
  
• Wonderful and Inexpensive bottles
  By A2M49Q5L74A6R3 on 2007-06-30
  I have used the bottles for four months and really like them. I have a Medela breast pump and the bottles fit directly on the pump, allowing me to pump directly into the bottle. I use Dr. Brown's nipples because the ones that come with the bottles seem kind of hard.
  
  According to the book, Baby 411, antibodies from breastmilk stick to plastic, but not glass. I believe the authors of the book recommend glass bottles.
  
  
• Great Bottles- Have been using everyday for 18 months!
  By A1GU5A0CV6X0C8 on 2007-08-10
  I love these bottles! They have been used everyday for 18 months and are still going strong with baby #2. They have been thrown by my toddler on our hardwood floors practically daily and I have never had one to break or chip. I put breastmilk in the freezer in them- leave enough room at the top for expansion and then allow to thaw in fridge or bring to room temp under tap before heating in bottle warmer and you are good to go. They fit right on to my medella pump. I would suggest buying their silicon nipples to go with the bottles- they come with latex and I am not a big fan of latex for baby bottles. I feel grateful to have found this as an alternative to chemical leaching plastics!
  
  
• Would be perfect with silicone nipples
  By A1CFZM0AR08GTK on 2008-01-08
  These bottles are inexpensive, simple to use, and are a great, safe alternative to plastic bottles. However, they come with awful latex rubber nipples which are UNSAFE due to potential allergic reactions and contain Nitrosamines which are very potent human carcinogens. Throw away the nipple it comes with and buy the Evenflo Classic Silicone nipples instead. Dr. Brown's nipples fit great too.
  
  
• tried and true
  By A1PN2GP8V41ODY on 2006-07-05
  I love these glass bottles- the same ones my mother used in the 60's and I used in the 80's with my first baby and am using again with my new babies-twins! They just seem cleaner to me- they shine after being washed in the dishwasher.
  
  
• 8 oz. clear glass baby bottles (3pk)
  By A3SN6RVCQ4KM8W on 2006-11-11
  They are good except being heavy due to glass design but I guess it is expected. My boy is developing arm muscles now from holding it for few months now. hahaha. Three in a pack is a very good idea, four could have been better though.
  
  
• great product
  By A3LQ47DI7DCWP0 on 2007-01-09
  if you're concerned about plastic bottles, this is an excellent alternative. too bad it's hard to find them in retail stores. it should be promoted more, no babies should be drinking out of plastic bottles that leach toxic chemicals anyway.
  
  
• A wonderful, safe alternative to plastic bottles-no bishpenol a!
  By A3MQA9PGQASJ42 on 2007-06-01
  I love these bottles. My daughter is very picky and would drink out of only Dr. Brown's bottles. When I read that Dr. Brown's (and other clear plastic baby bottles) leached harmful amounts of bisphenol-a into the fluid in the bottle, I bought these immediately and worried about whether or not my daughter would accept them (she is also a reflux baby, so she's just a naturally picky eater due to her tummy problems). She drank more milk than I had been able to get her to take in months, I'm not sure why she loves these bottles so much but I just wish I'd discovered this months ago! GREAT bottles! And safe.
  
  
• Not for Colicky babies
  By A131IRUD28I0N7 on 2007-10-10
  I bought these glass bottles after reading all the articles about bispenol A. My daughter was used to the Dr. Brown's bottles and could not get used to this classic bottle. She got so much air when she sucked on the bottle, we could not use it.
  
  
• durable bottles, get better nipples to replace the latex ones
  By A3PDVNPQY7GC1R on 2007-10-30
  We switched from Dr Brown's Natural Flow bottles because of BPA in polycarbonate bottles. The bottles are really durable -- I dropped them several times on the granite kitchen floor and, each time, they just bounce right up, with no damage whatsoever. The latex nipples that comes with the bottles are way too hard. We replaced them with Gerber (NUK) Silicone Orthodontic Nipples.
  
  
• great bottles
  By AG6UYZXZIO2YL on 2007-11-19
  i recently bought these for my 17 month old and baby on the way. i got them because of all the concerns with plastics these days. i have used many bottles including evenflo comfi, dr. browns, playtex drop-ins, nuby non-drip, avent, and soothie. these are by far the best and i can't believe i'm saying that because i used to be all about finding that perfect bottle to avoid gas and spitting up. yes, my daughter is no longer an infant, but these bottles work just fine with no annoying extra parts to wash or liners to buy.
  heres what i especially love:
  1) no plastic concerns (BPA, phthalates)
  2) easy to clean and i feel i get them VERY clean (some plastic bottles feel like they have a residue in them after washing)
  3) will accept any standard nipple to customize to your needs( i use nuby non-drip silicone nipples- great for when baby can hold own bottle- when they put it down/drop it/throw it, it will not drip and they are very inexpensive)
  4) sturdy glass doesn't break or chip as easily as one might think- my husband dropped one of ours into the street off the top of our car by mistake, no chips or cracks at all
  
  i am very pleased with these bottles- i just wish they had silicone nipples instead, but at least they'll accept nipples meant for other bottles so you can get the right nipple for your baby.
  
  
• A great product
  By A372UTN2EWZBV1 on 2007-01-15
  I love the glass bottles,I now have peace of mind! During the late night feedings my husband and I just place the glass bottles in the bottle warmer without fear of chemical contamination. The only down side is that the glass bottles are heavier than the plastic;however, with time your baby will learn how to hold them!!
  
  
  
  
• Utility Bottles
  By A2PTPXEH3PMPMQ on 2007-02-17
  These bottles are great for storing and heating breast milk. The standard opening they have fits the wife's breast pump (Almeda Purely Yours), and allows her to pump longer than the stock bottles that come with the pump.
  I feel better heating milk in these glass bottles, and using plastic bottles to feed my son. Overall they are sturdy and come with a lot of old school nipples and caps.
