I tried the glass and didn’t like it my daughter won’t hold it and I would burn my hand everytime I got it out of the warmer or the milk would still be cold annoying

Oh no! Which Phillips avent? I’m using the avent colic. I have 20 bottles

There’s a cover for glass bottles and also it’s just when heating up your bottles so if you don’t heat up them you are fine!

I went and asked for some help researching the advantage of glass bottles using perplexity AI. Seems worth it to make the switch!!

Glass bottles are significantly more effective than polypropylene (PP) bottles in preventing microplastic exposure, especially for infants and young children. Here are the key points:

1. No microplastic release: Glass bottles do not release microplastics or other harmful toxins, unlike PP bottles which can release millions of microplastic particles per liter[1][2].

2. Temperature resistance: Glass bottles, particularly those made of borosilicate glass, are stable even at high temperatures used for sterilization. PP bottles release more microplastics when exposed to high temperatures[2][3].

3. Chemical resistance: Glass resists chemical and acid degradation, eliminating concerns about harmful chemicals leaching into milk or formula[2].

4. Durability: Glass bottles are more resistant to scratches, which can harbor bacteria in plastic bottles. This means

This means glass bottles don't need to be replaced as frequently[2].

5. Ease of cleaning: Glass bottles are easier to clean and sanitize thoroughly, as they can withstand high temperatures without degradation[2].

6. Long-term use: Glass bottles can be reused indefinitely without losing quality or purity[2].

While glass bottles have some disadvantages, such as being heavier and potentially breakable, their ability to prevent microplastic exposure makes them a superior choice for reducing infants' and children's exposure to these particles[2][3]. For those who prefer plastic, alternatives like PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) bottles may offer better resistance to microplastic release than PP bottles[3].

Based on the search results, it appears that most glass baby bottles do use some plastic components, particularly in the caps or collars. However, there are a few options that minimize or eliminate plastic:

1. Pura Kiki stainless steel bottles are mentioned as being 100% plastic-free. While not glass, they offer a plastic-free alternative[1].

2. Mason Bottles makes a system that uses mason jars with steel collars and silicone nipples, eliminating plastic[1].

3. Natursutten Glass Baby Bottles use borosilicate glass for the bottle and natural rubber for the nipple. However, it's not explicitly stated if the cap is plastic-free[3].

4. HEVEA Wide Neck Baby Glass Bottles claim to be completely plastic-free, using borosilicate glass for the bottle and 100% natural rubber for both the nipple and cap[4].

5. Some bottles, like Avent, use mostly glass and silicone components, with minimal plastic that doesn't contact the liquid[1].

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol
