Nanny and Au Pair Review of BPA-Free Evenflo Classic Glass Nurser

Ever since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had a press conference warning Americans to avoid plastics with BPA we have been reviewing baby bottles without the harmful chemical. The label to look for on plastic dishware, bottles, and containers is, "BPA-free. " The plastics to avoid will be labeled with, "3, 7, or PS" on the packaging.

The Evenflo Classic Glass Nurser is most popular because it's not made out of plastic and is BPA-free. The Evenflo Classic Glass Nurser gets praise from caregivers for its relative simplicity and easy cleaning. Evenflo also provides a polypropylene bottle and a tritan bottle without BPA. But in the spirit of avoiding all plastic chemicals we are asking for nannies and au pairs for their reviews of the Evenflo Classic Glass bottle. Be sure to include your review below in "comments."

  1. I love glass bottles, they clean easily in the dishwasher, no plastic chemicals, stay warm longer, easier to sanitize by boiling. Glass is sturdy and just great. We can store the mother’s breast milk in these directly because or fits the mother’s Medela breast pump.

    I hope my review helps!

  2. I do not love the straight and narrow neck. I prefer angled bottles, but what can I do? The parents make the purchases and I use what they provide me with.

  3. Besides being BPA free, you should beware of latex nipples. Latex nipples have chemicals, so be sure to buy the bottles with silicone nipples. My only complaint would be the skinny neck for these bottles and be sure to LOOK FOR SILICONE NIPPLES LADIES.

  4. Evenflo glass bottles are easy to clean, don't get scratched up, and are sturdy. I have dropped them several times none have broken. Just so easy to clean and use. They fit the Mom Boss Medela breast pump too.

  5. The only thing these bottles are good for is milk storage. They screw right into breast pump which is great. But when feeding a baby they leak wasting a lot of milk and making big messes. I think the babies that use these have more gas and more air bubbles. Dr Brown’s reduces bubbles and gas the best.

  6. Although these bottles are sturdy and chemical free, the silicone nipple that is included with the bottle is awful and the bottle is non-venting and the bottle leaks due to poor nipple.

  7. Liz’s comments are weird. I think evenflo bottles are great. The glass conducts heat very well.
    I have never had a leak and the nipples don't collapse.

  8. I have traveled with the glass bottles and they have held up well. I have had no breakage at all! They have different flow nipples to choose from silicone or rubber so plenty of things to like by the babies. I like them just fine.

  9. I think these bottles are great. They, travel well, easy to clean, can be put in the dishwasher (which you shouldn’t with plastic due to BPA now) and you don’t have to worry about BPA leaking into the milk.

  10. These baby bottles are not good. They leaks during feeding. I tightened the cap very tight and they still leak.

  11. They are BPA free which is great but they are also a much better value than plastics! I have read other reviews about leaking and air bubbles, but I have NOT experienced a problem with either. No leaking whatsoever, and no air bubbles. In fact, THE baby often takes in MORE air when he is nursing, so he usually has less gas when I use the bottles to feed him. I LOVE that they fit on my Medela pump perfectly.

  12. These bottles work great. The measurements are etched in so they don't wear off like the bornfree glass bottles. They are heavier than plastic but no worries about BPA or other chemicals.

  14. These are the cheapest and sturdiest I came across. A lactation consultant recommended these nipples to avoid nipple confusion for me.

  15. These bottles leak like crazy from the top ring that the nipple goes into. The flow is too fast,. My employers will be buying new bottles. Nanny Valerie Hurley, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

  16. I never had any big problems using these baby bottles. They are simple and not expensive but they are really good bottles. They dont leak and nipple size is perfect for infants and also premies. Joanne R, Detroit
