Whether for health or environmental reasons, there’s no denying that glass baby bottles are growing in popularity. Since the launch of our iconic feeding system, glass bottles have been one of the most requested items by parents eager to incorporate Emulait into their feeding routines. We are excited to announce we will now offer Glass Bottles!
Only The Best Materials for Baby
To give your baby the best feeding experience, we need to use the best materials. Emulait’s flagship bottles are made from BPA-free, phthalate-free, non-toxic Tritan plastic. This is a premium material in the baby industry as it offers an attractive and durable finish, is recyclable and does not contain BPAs or phthalates. Our glass bottle is made from Type Borosilicate Glass, which makes it both baby-friendly and eco-friendly. Made from Boron Trioxide and Silica, it is exceptionally durable and can last for many years making it a sustainable bottle option.
The Emulait nipples, which attach to all our plastic and glass bottles, are made from premium medical-grade silicone that allows for the unique stretch, a key feature of the Emulait bottle. The silicone is FDA-approved and designed for use in the infant care market. The nipples are compatible with both the plastic and glass bottle ranges.
What Glass Bottles Offer You and Your Family
Durable and Long-lasting
Our glass baby bottles are made from tempered glass, designed to withstand high temperatures and resist breakage. While they may break if dropped from a significant height, their durability means they can often be used for multiple children, making them a more sustainable choice in the long run.
Easy to Clean
Our glass bottles are smooth and resistant to stains, flavors and odors. They also resist the micro-cracks that can appear in plastic bottles over time, which some people worry can harbor bacteria. The properties of glass also make it easy to clean and sterilize. They can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher and sterilized with boiling water or steam, ensuring that every feed is of the highest standard for you and your baby.
Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold – Just Right
Glass bottles help maintain the temperature of milk or formula better than plastic bottles, keeping it warmer for longer. Please note that our bottles can withstand microwave heat, but we never recommend warming milk in the microwave, as it can make the bottle too hot to handle and heat the milk unevenly (which can then scald your baby).
Reduce Your Eco-footprint
In an era where we are constantly looking to lower our eco-footprint, our glass bottles offer an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Glass is recyclable, but most importantly it’s durable – this durability makes it a sustainable option. All you need to do is to periodically replace the Emulait nipple, just as you would with any other silicone teat on the market. By choosing glass bottles, you're reducing plastic waste and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle.
Crystal-clear Aesthetics
Our glass baby bottles have a classic and elegant appearance that many parents find appealing. Their aesthetic appeal also extends to their functionality, as they can be less prone to warping and discoloration over time. Transparency also allows you to easily see the bottle contents, making it easier to monitor how much milk or formula your baby is consuming.
Cost-effective
The durability of glass means that even if you spend a bit more to purchase them, you will not need to replace them as frequently as plastic bottles. This makes them sustainable for the environment and your budget! However, you will need to replace the nipple component every three months via the Emulait shop.
Keeping your glass bottles clean
A major advantage of glass bottles is how easy they are to clean. They withstand high temperatures and can be sterilized on the stovetop, in the microwave steamer or on the top shelf of your dishwasher, without losing any luster. Use the Emulait Bottle Cleaning Brush for a thorough clean – it is perfect for the bottle’s curves and to clean between the nipple fibers and crevices. When washing your bottle components, ensure that they are left to airdry before reassembly (unless you are using the bottle immediately).
Inspect your bottle regularly for any chips or cracks, especially after it has dropped on the floor. Dropping your bottle regularly can impact the integrity of the glass over time, so take good care of it and ensure that children (and babies) are not able to play with it. Don't forget to inspect your silicone nipple regularly and replace them every three months – especially when your baby starts teething!
Conclusion
Glass baby bottles offer many benefits that make them a compelling choice for modern parents. From their safety and durability to their environmental impact and ease of cleaning, glass bottles provide a reliable option that supports both your baby’s health and the planet. Consider embracing the classic charm and practical benefits of glass baby bottles - they may be just what your family needs on their unique feeding journey.
