The BubsNest Verdict

The glass construction makes cleaning a breeze and feels more hygienic than plastic, but it's noticeably heavier which can tire out your arm during those midnight feeds. Perfect for parents who prioritize chemical-free materials and plan to bottle-feed at home, but skip if you're constantly on-the-go or need lightweight bottles for caregivers with weaker grip strength.

⚠️Glass bottles are heavier than plastic alternatives, so if you're planning to use them for nighttime feeds or have any wrist issues, the weight difference will be more noticeable than you'd expect.

What parents say

BubsNest expert analysis of 4 parenting forum discussions

A glass bottle that mimics the breastfeeding experience

8.1

Loved It

The Philips Avent Natural Response Glass baby bottle is widely praised by UK parents for its breast-like teat and ability to support a natural feeding rhythm. Many appreciate the glass construction, though some find it heavy. While a few note it may not suit very young infants, most agree it's an excellent choice for combining breast and bottle feeding.

What parents love

Breast-like teatParents say the flexible, wide teat closely mimics the breast, making it easy for babies to latch on and transition between breast and bottle.
Supports natural feedingThe teat only releases milk when the baby actively drinks, allowing them to feed at their own pace like on the breast.
Glass constructionMany appreciate the glass bottle for being easy to clean, not retaining odours, and providing a more natural feel compared to plastic.

Worth knowing

Weight and bulkSome find the glass bottle heavier and less portable than plastic alternatives, especially for smaller hands.
Suitability for young infantsA few parents note their very young babies struggled to hold the glass bottle themselves.
Occasional leaksA small number of users report occasional leaks, though most find the bottle seals well.

Best for

  • Families looking to combine breast and bottle feeding
  • Parents who prefer a more natural, glass feeding experience

May not suit

  • Parents with very young infants who need a lighter, easier-to-hold bottle
  • Families frequently on the go who value maximum portability

Tips from parents

Getting the Most Out of It

Consider starting with a slower flow teat if your baby is younger, then gradually increase the flow as they get older.

Shopping Tip

Buy a few extra bottles to have enough for storing pumped milk in the fridge or freezer.

Safety Note

Take care when handling the glass bottle, as it may break if dropped on a hard surface.
