Lifefactory glass bottles

I had mentioned in a previous posts that I was thinking about switching to glass bottles. We made the switch to glass a few months ago now, and I have to tell you I love them. I will tell you that our son still only drinks breast milk so my husband uses the bottles the most and he loves them too.

We started off using plastic bottles and I did not really think I would switch but I started to notice how soft the plastic bottles would get when I sterilized them. This started making me nervous, if they are getting that soft, what things are being absorbed into the plastic and what is coming out of it? One of our bottles even turned orange in the dishwasher. I started reading up on different types of bottles and figured I would try a glass one and see if I liked it. I ordered our first glass bottle, a 9 ounce lifefactory bottle. He took to the nipple right away. After washing and sterilizing it looked brand new, unlike the plastic ones that started getting scratches and getting soft. I now have three 4 ounce bottles, and one 9 ounce bottle. I absolutely love these bottles. They all come with a silicone sleeve that makes it easy for your little one to hold on to. The silicone sleeves come in a variety of colors and are very stylish. I bet you are all thinking glass that's going to break easy, I have dropped mine a few times and they have not broke.

The other thing I love about these bottles is you can convert them into a sippy cup for when they get older. No need to buy all new cups. Like other bottle companies they do also sell solid caps, different nipples and the replacement glass bottle for those unfortunate mishaps.

This company also makes water bottles for adults in a few different sizes and for kids. I am going to be getting one soon for me. They have a ton of different colors. They also make teethers for your little one.

Here is the website if you would like to check them out....http://www.lifefactory.com

These bottles give me a little peace of mind that he is using a bottle that is better for him and my husband loves them. 

I am not getting paid, nor did I receive any free product form this company. This opinion is my own and my husbands.

Lessons learned

Becoming a new mom I have learned some valuable lessons.

People can be mean. I am talking make you want to curl up and cry mean. As a new mom I seek out advice from other moms, with this being said I have noticed how mean other moms can be. No two moms are the same, nor should they have to be. We are all moms doing the best we can for our kid/kids at that moment, so really we should not be so mean to each other. Nothing makes me angrier when I am on FaceBook page or blog or any where a mom is asking for help, and some person posts something so mean and then the posts turn into why this way is better and people end up arguing over their idea. I don't find it helpful and I am sure the mom who is asking doesn't either. Stop judging her! I wish if people didn't agree with what she is doing they would just not respond or give her their recommendation in a nice constructive way. I wish they would stop tell her she is doing the wrong thing, trying to make her feel like her way is making her the worst mom ever, she isn't she is doing what she thinks is best.

Like most major events in your life, you will find out who your true friends are. Some of them will walk away because your life and theirs just don't match up any more. The friends that stand by you, will be amazing though.
