Katie, is this info still up-to-date? I listened to your recent podcast on plastic and it sounded like silicone isn’t safe either? Looking to replace our glass bottles with a safe sippy cup for my one year old. Thank you!

Hi Katie,

Have you heard of silipint? Do you have an opinion on that silicone product? Its not 100% made in USA (actually it’s partially assembled in China which makes me nervous) but I’m thinking it could be a good alternative to plastic. Im not sure if I want to make a large investment yet. Ive purchased just two on amazon.

Thanks,
Katie

Hello,
I recently stumbled upon several stainless bottles that contain a lead dot in the bottoms. A couple are listed in the above recommendations. Green sprout, Pura Kiki & eco vessel. I thought I would let you know as I’m horrified as a mama to find that the bottles I send my son to pre k with contain lead.

Thanks,
Lauren

I am also looking for a newborn baby bottle just in case for dad. We got a kiinde system from a friend (opened barely used) but I was trying to go all glass as much as possible. Moms online said the avent glass wasnt as good as the plastic for colic (but who knows.. not clinical test) and I have some Dr Browns glass. I used Life Factory when my son was a toddler, but he wasnt colicky anymore, and there was no vent. It wouldnt be suggested for a newborn. Anyone have thoughts? Im looking into that mason bottle, but I had sick and colicky babies, so I want to be prepared with this last baby.

Are all of the stainless options above lead free? & glass contains small amounts of lead as well, correct? So much work just to find something safe to give my baby! Thanks in advance.

In reply to Miranda. Hi there, I never comment but wish I would have found this idea/product before purchasing others. Check out Mason Bottle- you store your milk in glass mason jars and purchase silicone nipples that fit right on the jar! Genius! They also have a silicone sleeve to protect glass and a lid. Hope this helps!

FYI Green Sprouts Glass Sippy Cups are reported to have high lead content in the measurement markings on the glass insert.

In reply to quianna. We use both Comotomo bottles and Life Factory. Have both in both sizes. I love the Comotomo bottles. They are lightweight, easy to clean. I take these when we travel because handwashing is so much easier without a bottle brush, even the very simple venting system. They do sometimes leak a little bit - gotta make sure the nipple is situated correctly in the ring, and closed tightly enough, but not so tightly it is hard to get off (with the bendable material of the bottle, it can be hard to get a tight lid off, though the ring does include a little lip to push against). Unfortunately, the ring is plastic, for both of these bottles, as well as the rim for the Comotomo, so a little plastic actually touches the food (none on Life Factory). Also the travel caps on both are plastic.

Do any of these work with breast pumps? Thanks! Also recently saw NUK has a glass bottle with a silicone nipple.

We have the small Klean Kanteen bottle with the sippy cup lid and my son loves it, but I’m worried about the plastic. Has anyone found a non plastic lid that fits the KK?

Hi! I’m nervous about switching to stainless steel straw cups because of heavy metals. How can we be sure the stainless steel is not leaching out metals? Thanks!

Hi there! I’m pregnant with my first and am so grateful for all these resources! Did you use any glass bottles for freezing breastmilk? Suggestions for glass bottles (made for silicone nipples) that can double as storage/freezing and use for feeding? Thanks!
