Which is better, plastic or glass?

Plastic bottles and glass bottles have their own advantages and disadvantages, as for which baby to use, the first thing to consider is the baby's age. Glass bottles are used for young babies, and plastic bottles are used for babies who can throw things after half a year of age. Glass baby bottles, which are made of glass, do not contain plasticizer bisphenol A and other substances, and the safety factor of the material is high, but it is easy to break.

Therefore, the baby before the age of half a year is not very strong, and it is generally the parents who help to hold the bottle to feed, so choose the glass bottle. After half a year old, the child's hands-on ability has improved significantly, and he loves to hold and throw things. At this time, mothers can give the bottle to the child to drink, so as to exercise the child's autonomy, at this time because the glass is fragile, so it is best to choose plastic bottles.

I think of course glass bottles are better, and preferably glass bottles made of high borosilicate. Not to mention that children are adults should also put an end to the use of plastic water cups, because plastic water cups contain harmful ingredients bisphenol A, which is a harmful chemical ingredient, which will be released when the water temperature reaches more than 50, especially the harmful ingredients in inferior plastic cups are higher, many inferior low-cost water cups are made of recycled plastic, and they cannot be used at all, even if it is a brand plastic cup, it is best not to hold hot water above 45 degrees, and it must be replaced once a year.

Personally, I think plastic bottles are better, first of all, plastic bottles are more insulated, which can make the milk more conducive to maintaining a constant temperature, so that it will not cool quickly, and at the same time, plastic bottles are not easy to break, and it is more convenient to use.

As long as it is resistant to high temperatures, people generally choose to use plastic bottles, because its weight is lighter than that of glass, and the baby can also hold it and drink milk by itself.

I think plastic baby bottles are better because they are more resistant to drops.

Plastic bottles are lightweight, drop-resistant and unbreakable, but they don't last as well as glass bottles. Although the overall performance of glass bottles is relatively good, they are fragile and heavy, and children cannot hold them for a long time.

If the baby can already hold the bottle and drink milk independently, then you can choose a plastic bottle, which is light and easy to hold compared to a glass bottle, and can also exercise the baby's grasping ability, as long as the bottle is replaced regularly.

Newborn babies can use glass bottles, although the weight of glass bottles is heavier, but the impact is not great; For babies who are already able to eat independently, it is recommended to use plastic bottles, because they are durable and practical. Compared with glass bottles, it is not easy to break. At the same time, glass bottles can withstand repeated high-temperature sterilization and microwave heating.

You can do both, when my son can't take the bottle himself, I buy the glass one, and when he can take the bottle himself, I buy the plastic one.

Glass is resistant to high temperatures, not easy to deform, and easy to clean, whether you are boiling or steam sterilization. But there are two bad things about glass, which is that it is brittle and too heavy. If it is a small month-old baby, you need to hold it in your hands to feed during the feeding period, and it is easy to have sore hands after a long time.

Plastic bottles are similar to glass and can be sterilized at high temperatures. It is that plastic bottles are easy to scratch and age, and they need to be replaced after a period of use.

Glass bottles are the best option. Using plastic bottles in a hot environment for long periods of time will allow chemicals to enter your child's body, which is not good for your child's health.

Glass bottles are divided into ordinary glass materials and high borosilicate materials, relatively speaking, high borosilicate materials are higher, the material is better, for the health of the baby, children's supplies must be selected.

Now there is also a silicone bottle, which is drop-resistant, BPA-free, not easy to scratch, with a service life of 4-5 years, and this kind of bottle is an ultra-wide caliber above the diameter, which is convenient for milk washing and cleaning.

Heat resistance (degree of deformation resistance): The more heat-resistant the glass plastic (PES = PC> PP), the less likely it is to deform.

The abrasion resistance of the scale: the glass plastic (PES>PC>PP) scale is worn, and it is not easy to grasp the amount of breastfeeding.

Washability: glass = PES > plastic (PC > PP) has a smooth inner wall, so it is easy to clean.

Strength: Plastic >> glass has a large proportion and is not easy to carry.

Specific gravity: glass》The more transparent the plastic, the easier it is to see the cleanliness with the naked eye.

Transparency: Glass = PC>PES> PP

In addition to the lack of strength and fragility, glass bottles are better than plastic bottles in other qualities. But one of the biggest advantages of plastic bottles is that they are lightweight and unbreakable, so you can take them on your own and carry them when you go out. Therefore, glass bottles are mainly suitable for small babies, and can be used by parents when they are feeding themselves at home.

When your baby grows up and wants to pick up the bottle on its own, plastic bottles will start to come in handy.

Among plastics, PES and PC are light and strong, not easy to break, highly transparent, and have good performance. In particular, the new material PES is easier to wash and more durable than PC, almost like glass.

Of course, glass is the best, but be careful because glass is easy to break. If you buy plastic, pay attention to the temperature not to exceed 120 degrees when disinfection, it will not emit toxic gases.

Of course, it's good glass, the recent news says that there is a problem with the quality of plastic bottles, so I don't dare to use plastic, and now I always use glass bottles.

Baby bottles of different materials have their own characteristics, and parents can choose the bottle material for their babies according to their age and their actual situation.

1. Glass bottle: suitable for newborns. Glass bottles are safe and non-toxic, and they are not expensive.

Its smooth bottle walls are easy to clean, making it suitable for newborns who need to feed multiple times. Newborn milk cannot be sucked by the bottle on its own, so there is no need to worry about your baby breaking the glass bottle.

2. Plastic bottles: suitable for babies over three months old. Plastic bottles are lightweight, and you can use them for your baby after three months.

Among the three materials of plastic bottles, PP bottles are the most common, and they have good performance, so they are the first choice for plastic bottles. PES has many advantages like PP, and it is easier to clean and durable, close to the advantages of glass, but it is more expensive. PPSU bottles are currently relatively rare on the market, and parents are less likely to choose.

3. Silicone baby bottle: suitable for babies of all ages. Silicone bottles are safe, lightweight, and suitable for babies of any age. Of course, due to the soft texture of the silicone bottle, the little one will feel more comfortable to use.

4. Stainless steel bottles: used by babies over 1 year old. Stainless steel bottles have a long service life, are cheap, and can be used as a bottle option for babies over 1 year old. However, because the stainless steel bottle is opaque, it is impossible to see how much milk is left inside.

Glass bottles are suitable for small babies, and adults will not drink them by themselves.

Babies have to eat their own when they are older, so it is still recommended to have BPA-free plastic bottles.

When purchasing baby bottles, whether it is glass or plastic, it has its own advantages and disadvantages, among which the advantage of glass is that it is relatively safe, it does not contain carcinogenic bisphenol A substances, and it does not release harmful substances when it encounters overheated, cold or acidic and alkaline substances. In addition, it is highly transparent and not easy to scratch, so it is relatively easy to clean.

The plastic material is light in weight and is not bulky like glass. Moreover, the plastic material is not afraid of falling and is not easy to break, and this kind of bottle can be used relatively to improve the safety of use. However, plastic materials are easy to scratch, and they are prone to scratches after multiple cleanings, which will reduce the cleanliness.

So this is also a relative disadvantage of plastic baby bottles. Therefore, in the choice of milk bottles, as a daddy and mother, you can choose as appropriate.
