How to Safely Travel With Glass Baby Bottles
Jul 14th, 2008 by Christine
More and more parents are switching to glass bottles for their babies’ milk – chiefly due to concerns over the use of questionable chemicals in the production of plastic bottles.
Traditional glass bottles are great – but, being glass – do need to be treated with a little more care than regular plastic bottles. This can pose a particular challenge when traveling with baby, when several glass bottles are placed in a bag and may then rattle around together, potentially leading to breakage.
However, there IS a solution – and that’s the innovative
siliskin Glass Bottle from silikids!
siliskin bottles use the Evenflo Classic Clear glass nurser, which is encased in a silikids silicone sleeve. This sleeve gives the bottle an more tactile surface then regular glass (making it easier for your little one to hold), but it also works as a protective ‘barrier’ – preventing the bottles from bashing together when stored in a diaper or bottle bag!
siliskin bottles can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher or warmed in the microwave – and the silicone sleeve itself is translucent, so you can still see measurements and the remaining liquid in the bottle very easily.
siliskin Glass Bottles are available in the US, in either 4oz or 8oz sizes and in a variety of colors.
I bring bottles that already have powder in them with me. Then I bring a thermos of warm water and just add the water as the baby wants bottles. That way I dont have to find a place to warm the bottle and I don’t have to mess with measuring out formula powder cause I have already done it at home! Hope this helps!!!
