This review is for the narrow neck glass storage bottle with gray silicone sleeves.
These storage bottles are beautiful, they feel solid, and seem to be thick high quality glass. They make me feel fancy during the tedious long minutes of pumping, haha! And I’m happy to be avoiding some Plastic exposure for my baby. Silicone sleeves are great. The bottles clean easily and they get really pristine clean without smudges, if that makes sense (note that they recommend using a foam brush and NOT a wire brush to clean). I have 4 narrow neck bottles and they fit perfectly on my medela pump in style to pump directly into. They hang a little heavier while pumping but this hasn’t affected my output and doesn’t change my comfort level. I also use Willow Go during the workday, and it is easy to pour milk into the bottles from these pumps. The bottles are a little heavier of course than the plastic medela bottles I was using before, but this is to be expected with glass. My 4 storage bottles fit well in my medela cooler that I was previously fitting 4 medela plastic bottles in.
There is a small learning curve with the silicone caps-but once I read the instructions and got used to how they close and **** on/off, they are great. I’ve had no leaks at all so far. The markings on bottle go up to 4oz and I tend to fill them up higher to around where 5oz would be-for someone who is exclusive pumping or who pumps a lot at one sitting, they might not be big enough for you. I don’t feed from these bottles because we use Avent bottles which are wide and they don’t fit on the narrow neck bottles I have, but if you want to, just check that if you get the narrow neck, these would be more likely to fit narrow nipples like Dr. Browns, and wide neck would be more likely to fit wide nipples like Avent. Thanks for great bottles! I will probably order 4 more so that I have 4 to store at home and 4 to take in my workbag.
