BF glass bottles recommendations?

Baby due in 3 weeks, am hoping to BF. Have decided to get glass bottles. Any advice on which brands, which sizes, how many of each size etc much appreciated - also where to get them!

They don't seem to be available on the high street and delivery is a bit of a problem due to my movements around Xmas. Thank you for your help.

Congratulations!

I presume you're planning to express?

If you are, you are probably best off waiting a few weeks to get bottles as you're normally advised to wait 6 weeks or so before expressing. This is so you can recover, your supply can regulate itself and you can get used to eating cake and sitting on the sofa bf.

If you do wait a bit, you'll have plenty of time for deliveries to arrive.

It might also be best to try a variety of bottles as some babies will drink anything from anything, others are more picky and some won't drink from a bottle at all.

I used Nuk glass bottles myself because when DD did deign to take a bottle, it had to be glass with a silicon teat. I think it's because latex and plastic can leave a taint in breastmilk, and that formula's a bit more resilient in that respect.

Hope this helps.
