I hate plastic bottles. Ive tried every single one I swear and after 3 uses they smell like rotten cottage cheese even though i clean them within 5 hours of use. My baby drinks it, then i rinse it out, and then i clean it a couple hours later once shes down for a nap or bedtime. So I rinse out the big stuff before i wash it but im still running in to the awful smell and stentch. Even after 2- 5 dishwashing cycles. So Im looking at glass bottles, but my baby almost toddler has a bit of a throwing problem. :/ but i found this bottle, and its made with borosilicate glass. Its what they use for test tubes and stuff. They claim its more durable. Is it? Would it be worth it? Any bottles that dont stink after a few uses? Shes 16 months old, and only has a bottle right before nap time and right before bedtime. And due to some recent stress issues, the two bottles during the day are comfort for her.

If your baby is almost a toddler there is no point to buy new bottles. your baby should be off the bottle soon after 12 months.

Have you invested in a baby bottle cleaner? Its specifically designed to only clean those grubby baby bottles and it really does work. Really well as a matter of fact. I will send you a link in a couple of minutes to one. I can 't really comment on the borosilicate glass. . . but will do some research.

I use baby wise glass bottles they come with a silicone protective sleeve that keeps them from breaking and they are very very durable. both the sleeve and the bottle are dishwasher safe. you can purchase them from the following site: lifefactory.com they are not cheap but they will last along time and you just have to buy one or two of the bottle with the sleeves then you can buy extra glass bottles for just a few dollars from their site

We use Born Free glass bottles with a silicone sleeve. I am not 100% sure but I think you can even use the sippy spouts on the bottles. newbornfree.com/ Gift-Sets-and-Kits/ Glass-Bottles-with-142569/ 5413221-Two-9oz-Glass-Bottles/ ProductInfo.aspx newbornfree.com/ Nipples-Spouts/ Hard-Spouts-142547/ 2411787-Twin-Pack-Hard-Spouts/ ProductInfo.aspx We also use Dapple soap to wash them. It takes out all the milk residue smell. It works for us. We have (in addition to our born free bottles) 5 plastic bottles than don 't smell and formula has been left in them for a good while. toysrus.com/ product/ index.jsp?productId= 3546646 If your baby is old enough, I would just use a sippy cup or bottles. You can get stainless steel ones so smells don 't linger. Here are some I found: toysrus.com/ product/ index.jsp?productId= 4218560 toysrus.com/ product/ index.jsp?productId= 3994472 toysrus.com/ product/ index.jsp?productId= 4218553 toysrus.com/ product/ index.jsp?productId= 3327661 You can also use Playtex Drop in bottles, that way you can just use a new liner every time so no smell. toysrus.com/ product/ index.jsp?productId= 3247632 *You could just buy one stainless steel or glass bottle for her so you don 't spend a whole lot. Sorry for all the links but I figured it would help you decide lol

That 's odd that they smell. I use plastic Born Free bottles and they never smell there great. I had ONE glass bottle I bought on accident and a old woman at my work dropped it and broke it. I wouldn 't worry about it now if your baby is getting older. Use a sippy cup if you don 't want to go out buying a bunch more

Why don 't you try the playtex drop-ins... You throw the liner away after each use! We used them for traveling...and they worked great!

I have never had problems with my baby bottles stinking. I rinse them out as soon as he gets done eating and then wash them with a bottle cleaner and dishwashing liquid. before I wash them, I soak them in extremely hot water for about an hour. you can try that, it may help. also the bottles I use are Dr. Browns and Playtex Vent-Air. the Dr. Browns bottle are by far the best bottles, they cost a little more, but they are worth the price. they reduce colic and tummy aches. but as for the glass bottles, it my not be best to use them with a toddler. if you do, use the rubber slips they make for them, but I wouldnt risk it. and as for the borosilicate glass, its worth a try. but if your baby is almost a toddler, you should try to ween him from the bottle and start using sippy cups. if they use a bottle for too long, the rubber nipple can rot their teeth.

If your baby is almost a toddler, I 'd suggest switching to sippy cups or a regular cup instead of worrying about bottles. But if you really want to stick with bottles, you could try Playtex Drop-ins. The part the milk goes in is disposable. You throw it out after every meal so you don 't have to worry about any smell. You just reuse the holder and the nipple. playtexbaby.com/ Bottles/ Dropins.aspx
