I mostly exclusively breastfeed but i pump occasionally so that i can get some sleep and my husband can take over for a bit at night.
Anyway, my sister gave me some glass baby bottles. I am thinking they will be better for the child because of how toxic plastic is however, is there something i am not thinking about here? Has anyone here used glass bottles? Are they safe?

My brother and his wife always used glass bottles. I would think they are better too.

I use glass bottles for my son and have no problems with them. I've even dropped them quite a bit and they've never broken or chipped. They go right in the dishwasher and clean easily. The only downside is they are heavier than plastic bottles, so they're harder for a baby to hold on their own.

I use glass for my EBM for the same reasons you stated: the toxicity in the plastic bottles.
My boy has only had a few though, and isn't old enough to hold or throw them across the room, so I can't say for sure they're better in the long run.

My thoughts exactly!

Where do you get them? I have never seen them in a store before but want to use them with any future kiddos.
