Where do you find those glass bottles? I know that breast feeding is the healthiest for your baby, but what if you can't?
What if the baby wont latch?
What if you are going back to work?
What if you are a taking a medications that are not healthy for the baby?
There are lots of reasons why woman do not breastfeed. I personally had to pump the whole time for my first and second child neither would latch. My first one I made it to 4 months and my second I made it to 6 months.
When my third came along, I thought, "You know what, I have paid my dues. It was extremely stressful to pump for myself and my husband and the baby." I went through extreme bouts of depression because I couldn't feed my child myself. It was devastating at times. And the third time around, I just realized, I want to be a happy momma to my baby.
This was before we as a family starting going green. So we didn't have glass bottles. But now I am wondering where do I find them. And if I am wondering, then I know some of you must be also. And so the hunt begins..............let us see what I can come up with.

NexTag compare and shop for glass bottles. They have a lot of options at this link.

To Date, Willow is 8 months old, we have not broken one bottle. We also do not use any cozys on our bottle. We have dropped bottles but the only thing that has broken is the plastic lid!

I didn't know you could get glass bottles with "cozies"!! How cool is that?!
I was really hesitant to use glass bottles with my son because I was afraid they would break--the silicone wraps look really cool though!
I breastfed Parker for 6 months...but when I started working my 12 hour shifts at the hospital again, my milk supply depleted fast.
And like you, all I got done was pumping.
With Autumn, her mouth was so tiny (she only weighed 5 pounds), and my nipples so large, she about tore them to shreds. I still managed for 3 months and then started pumping for her too. But even that didn't work well, because I had a newly diagnosed autistic 2 year old who was in therapy constantly and a newborn. Who has time to pump? Uggghh.
If breastfeeding wasn't an option though, I'd definitely use glass bottles. So much crap leeches into our drinks from plastic and aluminum.
