Lifefactory Glass Baby Bottle

Julia D.

weeThink

Life Factory glass bottles are a safe, sturdy alternative to plastic. Made from the highest quality, thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass, these beloved bottles can do it all. The colorful silicone sleeves provide a good gripping surface for little hands and protect against tumbles and drops. When your baby is over bottles, simply swap out the nipples for sippy cup tops. All components are BPA- and phthalate-free, and transition safely from freezer to boiling water.  

The Catch: Because they’re made of glass, they’re heavy for a baby or toddler to hold.

    Probably my favorite of the baby bottles we have gotten. I love that it is glass as well! Only downside is I wish the measurements were on the glass itself and not the sleeve. Apr 03, 2024

  • We only got one bottle (literally just one) and it was this one. We wash it after every use and it has lasted us 15 months so far. I love that it's glass and we don't have to worry about plastics Mar 15, 2024

  • we use glass bottles and the lifefactory ones are beautiful and comfortable to hold with the silicone sleeve, but baby (who is both breast + bottle fed) will only take the philips avent bottles Nov 13, 2023

  • Absolutely loved these. We used the 4 oz bottles for the first 9 months of my baby's life. They still look brand new and don't have that gross film that is hard to get off plastic bottles. Oct 25, 2023

  • i like this bottle because it’s glass but the issue is it’s extremely heavy and inconvenient for baby to hold or easy to drop Aug 24, 2023

  • Really love how these look I have a few and love they can turn into sippys Jun 06, 2023

    • Sara F.

    • Wellford, South Carolina

    I love the glass. Cleans better for baby. May 14, 2023

  • Very nice bottle if you’re wanting glass. Love the silicone outside to protect your hands from heat and easy to keep hold of while managing baby. The silicone is hard to get off every time to wash. Apr 21, 2023

  • Does not allow for air to get back into the bottle so we have to take a break feeding quite often. It frustrates the little babies which is too bad Mar 20, 2023

  • I replaced this nipple (a little long) with an evenflo vented nipple in slow flow and this bottle worked great for us. The opening is very narrow but with the right brush that is OK. great sleeve. Mar 07, 2023

  • Got these as a gift and they are really well made. Unfortunately never got to use them as none of my kids would take bottles. Jan 05, 2023

  • These bottles are great! Easy to clean. Don’t break when you or baby drop it. Aug 21, 2022

  • I wish this bottle was wider and shorter instead of so tall and narrow. I do love that it's glass instead of plastic and the sleeve is very high quality. Sep 18, 2020

  • I got this as a gift for my son. When he finally accepted a bottle, he was really into throwing everything. I don’t understand the idea of giving a baby anything glass and breakable! Seems dangerous. May 31, 2020

  • The BEST bottles on the market! These are my #1 recommendation to all my new mommy friends! I’ve had mine for 4yrs and still use them occasionally as water bottles with the toddler caps! May 01, 2020

  • Loved that these were glass but they were too heavy for the baby to hold. Apr 27, 2020

  • These are good and really do. It break with the protector as mine have fallen a few times. They do take a little longer to heat. Nipples are compatible with Dr Browns bottles. Feb 28, 2020

    • Beth M.

    • United States of America

    I like that these are comparable with Dr. Brown nipples. This allows me to use to the preemie nipple, which I prefer with my breastfed baby. Easy to clean. Oct 25, 2019

  • I had the small one. I was scared of the glass but it never broke with the gel cover protects it. My baby dropped it alot. Feb 10, 2019

    • Lee D.

    • San Francisco, California

    I love the grip and it’s not very heavy. When warming it up, it warms much faster than plastic and I love that it means less time waiting. Nov 11, 2018

  • Going on 5 years of using these bottles between my two girls. So easy to clean and durable. I also used the 9 oz. size to store my breast milk when I was pumping at work. I never used the sippy top. Apr 28, 2018

  • I did not like this bottle. I think the nipple has too small of a base to really mimics the Breast. My baby did not like it either. I like that it is glass but that is about the only thing. Feb 05, 2018

    • Shay O.

    • Longmont, Colorado

    Love the glass bottles, the silicone helps protect hands from the heat that's necessary if you heat the milk in the bottle. My little one didn't like the narrow style of nipple this comes with. Jan 28, 2018

  • I like the idea behind glass but I still don't think babies and glass mix. Oct 19, 2017

  • Great quality - lovely design - love that it's glass but baby was not a fan of the standard nipple (preferred wide neck). Oct 11, 2017

  • I love that these glass bottles come with a silicon holder that is also dishwasher friendly. After dropping other glass bottles (& breaking them) this one holds up! Jun 10, 2017

  • Love these! We used them as bottles & when my daughter outgrew bottles were bought the sippy cups lids! They are dish water safe & u can freeze then if u pump! Apr 14, 2017

    • Aly M.

    • Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

    Great glass option Apr 13, 2017

  • Great product that does not shatter when dropped from a toddlers height. Difficult to clean though - wish the rubber could come off to clean underneath. Apr 13, 2017

  • Got these as a baby shower gift and it's very sturdy and I love how it has the silicone cover but they are kinda heavy for baby but I'm gonna try again when he older. Mar 04, 2017

  • The only bottles my daughter likes! I feel safe knowing they are cleaned without a microwave. I have dropped several times and no breaks. Solid design and awesome product! Dec 29, 2016

  • So good as far as sanitation and also the rubber on the outside prevents it from breaking when dropped (which will happen a lot) Oct 14, 2016

    • Julia D.

    • United States of America

    Don't love the nipple, but our 1 year old EBF absolutely did. I bought the sippy caps too but my daughter gets frustrated with its slow g Oct 12, 2016

  • Unfortunately my daughters have never taken a bottle, and I had these lovely (albiet slightly costly) bottles... thankfully, you can switch out the top into a water bottle head! Use for them after all Sep 09, 2016

  • These are great glass bottles. The protector is awesome but they don't help if your baby has reflux! Jul 14, 2016

  • Baby didn't love them and they were very pricey. Mar 01, 2016

  • These are ok. I have 4 and while I love the capacity and the lack of plastic, they are heavy! I use them alongside Tommy Tippee which are easier to hold but plastic. I like the gripper as well! Jan 16, 2016

  • She takes to it fine, but its on the heavy side so she can't hold it herself. Oct 27, 2015

  • Used for bottles of milk after the 1 year mark. Like to cut down on the plastic use. Had to use a 1 nipple to keep my breastfed baby from getting the hiccups. Aug 05, 2015

  • Love these bottles. Glass cleans so much better than plastic- no funky smells after a few years of use. Got the sippy cup top and was easy transition just removed insert. Use everyday for 3 year old. Jul 29, 2015

  • Seems like a nice idea but too heavy for an older baby to hold. Jul 11, 2015

  • These are great, and are the only bottles that my baby would take but they are too heavy for him to hold himself so we had to switch to using the Dr. Brown's bottles with LifeFactory nipples. Jun 30, 2015

  • The silicone sleeve is really protective (we only broke 2 bottles, and those were dropped onto pavement), and we liked being able to swap out the nipples for sippy cup tops. May 17, 2015

    • Kay L.

    • Ann Arbor, Michigan

    No problems with these. We wanted glass bottles and these are cute, easy to clean, and sturdy. They also heat up quickly and are freezer-safe. Mar 17, 2015

  • We bought used bottles, but got new nipples. They're great. Nov 14, 2014

  • Not the best air flow and small top to pour stuff in. Not too impressed. Oct 07, 2014

  • I need more of these and want sippy spouts. Aug 21, 2014

    • Laura S.

    • United States of America

    These are an awesome alternative to plastic bottles - easy to clean and unbreakable with the cute silicone covers Jul 29, 2014

  • favorite baby bottles, sippies, and grown up water bottles. nothing negative to say! i wish i had more of them, they are a tiny bit pricy. Feb 15, 2014

  • love that they are glass and protected. I love the idea that later I can purchase screw on sippy cup tops. I have 4 and use them often. They are a bit heavy for my 5 month old son to hold right now Jan 23, 2014

  • Q: Do these bottles leak? We are currently using Dr. Browns and they are always leaking in my diaper bag of if they topple over somewhere.

    asked by Caroline D. - Aug 25, 2015

  • We haven't had any issues. Little Man walks all around with them, tipping them upside down. The lid has a nice snap to it as well.

    Alexandria D. - Aug 25, 2015

  • We never had a problem with leaking unless the nipple was old/started to tear. They are the best but will definitely be heavier in your bag than other brands.

    Britt P. - Aug 25, 2015

  • We've never had issues with leaking. The collars fit snugly. Liquid may come out of the Stage 3 nipples if turned upside down but the bottles come with small discs you can insert instead of the nipple if you are traveling somewhere with a full bottle and the bottle might flip around in transit.

    Elizabeth P. - Aug 26, 2015

  • I never had any issues with spillage, leakage or bottle breakage and I have been using them for quite some time now.

    Martha R. - Aug 26, 2015

  • Only with the sippy cup adapter and if not using the silicone piece that comes with that. My son has a hard time sucking when that silicone is inside of the sippy cup thingy so we have removed it. Because of that, we do experience leaks if the bottle is tilted or put upside down.

  • Q: Does it really not break if dropped from table / high-chair height?

    asked by Colin B. - Mar 24, 2014

  • We drop them on a daily basis and haven't lost a single bottle yet. No issues on wood, tile--even concrete.

    Britt P. - Mar 24, 2014

  • We've only broken one, and that rolled out of the back of our Volvo and onto pavement. Have never had an issue indoors, after 2.5 years of use.

    Allyson D. - Mar 24, 2014

  • No breakage as of yet! They are really sturdy find the silicon sleeve is her protective. No worries!
