I felt really good about using glass baby bottles for baby feeding. I wanted to avoid the potentially harmful chemicals in plastic bottles. These clean up well and are thick glass so they won't break super easily.

Glass bottles are my preference for baby feeding to avoid potentially harmful chemicals in plastic bottles. I used these Phillips Avent both the 4oz and 8oz and can highly recommend. They are made of thick glass so they won't break easily.
Philips Avent 3pk Glass Natural Baby Bottle with Natural Response Nipple - Clear - 8oz

Moby Ring Sling Baby Carrier - Pewter

Save her fingers from the mess of butt paste! It's really not a fun feeling and it can be hard to wash her hands before she needs to put baby's clothes back on or pick up the baby.
