Parents overwhelmingly love Tommee Tippee's glass bottles, citing their sturdy, non-porous construction that resists stains and odours. Many found the self-sterilising feature convenient, and appreciated how the breast-like teats helped with breastfeeding transitions. A few noted occasional leaks or difficulty assembling the anti-colic valve, but these were minor issues compared to the bottles' strengths. Overall, these seem like a great choice for families looking for a safe, sustainable glass option.

What parents love

Durable glass designParents praised the bottles' borosilicate glass construction as scratch-resistant, stain-proof, and long-lasting, unlike plastic bottles that can degrade over time.
Easy to cleanThe glass material was reported to be simple to wash and sterilise, especially helpful when travelling without a steriliser.
Breastfeeding friendlyThe breast-like teats helped babies switch easily between bottle and breast, a key feature for many breastfeeding parents.

Worth knowing

Occasional leaksA few parents mentioned occasional leaks, especially when the bottles were shaken or moved around.
Tricky assemblySome found the anti-colic valve system a bit fiddly to assemble correctly after sterilising.
Glass fragility concernsA small number of parents were initially hesitant about using glass bottles due to worries about breakage, though most found them surprisingly durable in practice.

Best for

  • Breastfeeding parents looking to easily transition between breast and bottle
  • Families seeking a sustainable, non-toxic glass feeding option
  • Parents who value easy cleaning and sterilising, especially when travelling

May not suit

  • Households with very young or clumsy babies at higher risk of dropping glass bottles

Tips from parents

Getting the Most Out of It

Take the time to properly assemble the anti-colic valve system to avoid leaks.

Safety Note
