Are glass baby bottles back?
The Associated Press reports that because of concerns about a chemical used to make plastic baby bottles, glass bottles are making a comeback. But there are concerns about those, too -- they're breakable, for one thing, and more expensive.
Have you used glass baby bottles? Let us know the pros and cons, and if you have any local sources for them, please share in a comment below.

I am very interested in hearing from folks on this. Or if there are alternatives that they know are free of that plastic chemical. I've read the SIGGs aluminum ones are good once they are toddlers, but what to do for an infant?

We use glass bottles to store breastmilk. The milk can be warmed in the bottles. We then put the warmed milk into a plastic bottle.
I work only part time, so my baby gets only a few bottles a week. If he were getting more than that, I'd probably be tempted to use only glass. We'd have to get new bottles, though, because our glass bottles aren't compatible with the silicone nipples we have (and that are supposed to be good for a baby who switches between breast and bottle).
