Choosing the right baby bottle might seem simple, until you’re faced with a shelf (or website) full of options. One of the biggest choices? Plastic or glass.
Both materials have their strengths, and both are safe when made to the right standards. So how do you decide?
Truthfully, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It’s about what will work best for you, your baby, and your feeding routine.
At Tommee Tippee, we know lots about baby bottles. Here’s a straightforward look at both options, so you can feel confident, whichever type of baby bottle you choose.
Plastic baby bottle benefits
A go-to for many parents, plastic baby bottles are lightweight, durable and widely used. Most are now made from BPA-free polypropylene (PP) or similar materials, which are tough enough to handle daily use and repeated sterilising.
Their lightness makes them easy to pack in a nappy bag and simple for little hands to hold, especially during early attempts at self-feeding.
