I bought a special eco friendly floss that came in a glass bottle. I accidentally dropped it on my tile bathroom floor late one night while flossing and it shattered.
Glass is heavier and more breakable than plastic. I'm not sure I want to give my baby glass cups. He tends to drop and throw things.
- conception 2y agoI mean.. glass baby bottles were a thing for long time before plastic.
- Mountain_Skies 2y agoWere injuries from glass baby bottles a thing?
- azinman2 2y agoIn about a year into glass baby bottles and so far no injuries. They’re quite thick and don’t break easily.
- Thorrez 2y agoThanks for that info. Although, if the goal is to switch entirely off of plastic, I don't think modern glass baby bottles will do that, because the ones I've seen still use plastic caps. BTW, we just bought some glass bottles (with plastic caps) today. We'll see how they go.
- azinman2 2y agoThat’s true. But the milk doesn’t really touch it, it touches glass and the silicone nipple.
- HKH2 2y agoThey last a lot longer too. Plastic gradually gets stained.

- tempestn 2y agoGlass tires!
- Euphorbium 2y agoUnironically just ban cars.
- AngryData 2y agoI doubt your baby is going to be holding glass objects 5 feet above a tile floor and also being significantly heavier they are pretty hard for babies to throw. So I don't think breakage is nearly the problem you are imagining.
- Thorrez 2y agoOn many occasions my baby has whacked the bottle out of my hand onto the floor. He can be quite strong. He also often grabs the bottle and yanks it quickly out of his mouth. When he's eating solid food in his high chair, he needs water with it. Sometimes we use a bottle, sometimes a sippy cup. The sippy cup generally ends up on the ground. Sometimes this is above a tile floor (a kitchen). Having the high chair above carpeting is not a great idea when it comes to cleaning up food that gets thrown around.
