Looking for an alternative to the plastic baby bottle? Check out these funky glass bottles with colourful silicone sleeves by Lifefactory!
While plastic baby bottles are now manufactured without bisphenol-A (BPA), I still wonder what else I don’t know about plastic bottles that could harm my little miss. Glass bottles are a great alternative because they are eco-friendly, easy to keep clean, and don’t develop the odour that plastic bottles sometime do.
Lifefactory’s (previously Babylife Wee Go) glass bottles come in two sizes (4 and 9 ounces) and you have your choice of ordering them with silicone sleeves in six colours. These sleeves help to protect the glass bottle from bumps and breakage, and make them easy for babies to grab on to when they are old enough to do so. The silicone sleeves are also easy to slide on and off the bottle (with a little soap and water) for more thorough cleanings.
If you are thinking about switching from plastic bottles, be aware that glass bottles are heavier and, of course, more fragile. Also, while Lifefactory’s silicone sleeves have markings on them to denote the millilitre and ounce measurements, they are somewhat hard to see as they blend into the sleeve (I have to put my finger on the mark to make sure I add the correct amount of water). Despite this drawback, I think the colourful, tactile sleeves stimulate my baby during feedings and we love these bottles by Lifefactory – I own all six colours in the 9 ounce size and we receive compliments on them wherever we go.

Months and months ago, maybe even during the summer there were these cool sacks that you reviewed that you can taket to the grocery store… I forget the name of them. Will search for it.
Saplings! The decor looks great!
Enjoyed the automoblox info. tx!
the Automoblox is neat – I think my hubby would have a great time with them!
I love the Beco!! Use it all the time now…
the beco
I like the Anamalz. I love the joy which Trea/Oliver gets out of playing with them and organizing them. They are wooden too which is trés chic!
I also like the hazel wood tiny teethers. I gave them to my sister and she now swears by them.
Beco review was great too…saw them and wondered!
I like the Beco baby carrier review.
I also liked the Beco carrier review!
I have some of the Anamalz, I really like them!! thanks! hope my baby does too!
I’m going with the Moukisacs, I have a Moukisac and Moukinets and I love them for grocery shopping. People always ask me where I got them (and I’m thrilled to tell them it’s a Canadian company!).
yes, the Beco too
I like the IKEA train – it is affordable ( some wooden train sets are outrageously priced!)
I still love the Moukisacs. I used mine today at the grocery store!
The Beco looks awesome! Cant wait to try it!

The Beco was great. But I’m still going with the Moukisac. I love mine!

Ok, back to the puddle gear review. It’s especially useful living in vancouver…grin.
Yep. Still sticking with the Moukisac. I’ll be taking mine with me to the store today.

the SPUD review was helpful too. I’m in the area and thinking about em…
Burts Bees – but I was sold on this stuff before. It is all we use in our house for everything- soap, shampoo, lotion, makeup, and their doctor burt line. LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
I liked the Beco Carrier review.
I’m still liking the moukisac. We used ours on Christmas Day to take presents to our friends’ house!
Still loving the Burts Bees!! My hubby uses the baby stuff ( shampoo and lotion) so we have a ton of it. Santa ( aka grandmother to be) also sent us a ton for Christmas. I think my baby is set for life!!
I love the Beco!! My husband wants to be able to carry our child with him everywhere!
Okay, the Beco is pretty awesome, I’ll have to agree!
the moukisacs are my favourite thing too.
Moukisac. Those things are neat!
I’m going to stick with the Moukisac. It’s such a great product.
very impressed with the Moukisac – especially after reading everyones comments about all the uses – some great ideas!
Burts bees!
