Glass bottle or plastic bottle? Which bottle should babies use?

For new users and mothers, how much do you know about baby products? Today, I will share with you the details of baby bottles. Are glass bottles better or plastic bottles better? And what kind of bottles should babies use?

1. Newborns: Choose glass bottles

Glass milk bottles are safe, high temperature resistant, not easy to scratch, not easy to hide dirt, easy to clean, long service life, and inexpensive, suitable for newborns who need to feed frequently. If the baby is just born, it is recommended that mothers buy glass milk bottles, but it should be noted that glass milk bottles are not strong enough and are easy to break, so mothers have to hold them to feed the baby.

2. Babies over 3 months old: Choose plastic bottles

Plastic milk bottles are light and suitable for babies over 3 months old. However, plastic milk bottles are made of three materials: PP, PES and PPSU. In comparison, PP is the best material and is recommended as the first choice because plastic milk bottles, like glass milk bottles, are easy to clean, durable and safe. The only drawback is that good quality plastic milk bottles are relatively expensive. In addition, the heat resistance, abrasion resistance, washability and transparency of plastic milk bottles are generally inferior to those of glass milk bottles.

There are various types of baby bottles for newborns in life. Mothers must carefully select and try to choose the one that suits their children. Generally, when choosing a baby bottle, practicality and safety should be considered. Glass bottles should be used, which are easy to clean. Round bottles can be used for babies under 3 months old, curved or ring-shaped bottles can be used for babies over 4 months old, and bottles with handles can be used for babies over 1 year old. At the same time, pay attention to the size and dimensions of the bottle when choosing it. Try to choose a bottle with high transparency, safe and hygienic, and a nipple that is suitable for the baby.

Choose a milk bottle with better transparency so that you can clearly see the capacity and state of the milk. This way, you can always observe the baby's milk drinking situation, find problems in time, and prevent the baby from choking on milk. In addition, the hardness of the milk bottle should be higher. When buying, mothers can pinch the bottle with their hands to feel whether the hardness is enough. The milk bottle cannot be too soft, otherwise it will be easily deformed when it encounters high temperature, and it may also release an unpleasant odor. The shape of the milk bottle should be simple, without too many patterns and colors, which will affect the baby's milk drinking. Because babies are very sensitive in all aspects, when they leave their mothers and come into contact with new things, babies will have a sense of prevention and will be easily frightened. Close contact with their mothers will make the baby feel more secure and at ease. Therefore, the shape of the milk bottle should be as consistent as possible with the shape of the mother's nipple, and a milk bottle with better air permeability can make the baby feel more secure, and at the same time, it will not be so strenuous for the baby to suck milk. Otherwise, the baby will have a resistance mentality.

The baby's bottle must be washed once after drinking. According to medical requirements, the bottle must be sterilized in boiling water for 5 minutes. After each use, it must be cleaned and sterilized again. These processes cannot be saved. If it is too troublesome, you can buy a special steam sterilizer and sterilize it at high temperature for 8 minutes. It is convenient without the trouble every time. It can be boiled and sterilized once a day, but after each use, it must be cleaned and scalded with hot water. The next time you use it, scald it with hot water before using it. Especially in summer, bacteria multiply quickly, and burning is more beneficial.
