I know a lot of first-time moms before whom at countless times, have come to land on the wrong kind or wrong quality of feeding bottles. But for me, when my daughter was born 4 years ago, I did a lot of research and already knew about Born Free Feeding Bottles and that they were amazing. Unfortunately that time, I wasn’t able to stumble upon the Born Free glass bottles and so I opted for another brand. But now, luckily, they now have their own edition of glass bottles and I’m absolutely impressed with every little detail it features for babies.
For this review, I received a couple of it in 9oz and 5oz. First thing that made me fall in love with them was they are glass, not plastic. That means they absolutely contain NOT even the slightest substance of PVC and BPA. It’s perfectly and naturally safe.
I recently got the news from my doctor that my baby’s current position is probably going to be a reason for making breastfeeding a little bit unguaranteed. I might go into c-section so I think breastfeeding will be slightly out of the picture. At one point, I was already sure and ready to go breastfeeding again for my second baby despite the bad experience I had with my eldest. This is how I think Born Free Natural Glass Bottles will fit for my situation. With its amazing features, even a newborn can use it with absolute ease and comfort. In fact, it is specially made to answer demands of babies of any age on feeding, whether he is bottle fed, breast fed, or mixed.
The patented Active Flow Vent system found in every Born Free Natural Glass Bottle promises to give a bottle feeding experience for babies which I am really looking forward to. This works by allowing babies control the milk flow from the nipple just like how breastfeeding is done. The vent also does wonders in preventing the build-up of air pressure and vacuum. By doing this, babies are saved from getting colic symptoms like gas pains and fussiness. Baby stays happy, satisfied and calm after every feeding even with the absence of a real breastfeeding session.
Its nipples are interchangeable which means that moms can use the same bottle with Born Free silicon nipples of different flow rates. There are five flow rates available to match growing babies and their feeding needs. They’re soft and appear to me that it did a great job mimicking the “real thing” for babies to be accustomed with feeding from it time to time, especially for those who breastfeed then turn to bottles occasionally.
These feeding bottles assure no leaks as it comes with an easy-grip cap ring for a secured seal of the cap to the bottle. Also, there is an option for the bottles with silicon sleeve which fastens grip on the bottle and even lets temperature last longer than the usual. Thousand of moms who have used these agree that there was never a time that milk leaked out. It was only due to wrong assembly that others complained it malfunctioned and leaked. Also, a cap and a sealing disk make these glass bottles safe for travel.
I have no concerns with the cleaning issues for the Born Free Natural Glass Bottles. Though they are made of glass and might seem delicate to some parents, they’re actually safe to be cleaned by the dishwasher (top rack) or by hand. The wide-neck feature allows easy penetration of a bottle cleaner/scrub when washed over the sink. Sterilizing them through boiling for about 5-10 minutes will be just fine, too, and won’t crack or damage the bottles. Also, with proper care, Born Free Natural Glass Bottles are built to last enduring years of usage having thick clear glass. Parents will surely love how these bottles grow with their babies, therefore, saving them from buying bottles often. Unlike other bottles, its ounces are etched and NOT painted/printed on. This makes sure that ounce measurements won’t fade over time.
I’ve always wanted glass bottles as options for my baby now that I might be unable to breastfeed due to some conditions of my delivery. Hopefully, I can still breastfeed but if everything turns otherwise, at least I now how have Born Free Natural Glass Bottles to ensure that my baby gets a feeding experience as close as possible to a natural breastfeeding.
