Glass bottles

Good post to start, I woudl like to know this as well. I've just bought an electric steriliser so that I don't microwave things as I knwo that it can release toxins from plastic.
Any info on this woudl be awesome

Ok so I have been EVERYWHERE online trying to find the glass evenflo bottles and they are all out of stock. Baby factory do the glass Nuk ones but now apparently there are bottles that arent 100% glass or something plunket was saying that are no good anyway so she said if you are going with glass stick with the evenflow or Nuk and dont buy the asian stuff.

I was hoping tomme tippee would bring a glass range out

the site to go to is www.babyonline.co.nz
they have a pic article on it and they sell them ...they are a auckland company and they are getting some in so you can order now to get an order....they also sell nappies at budget prices.....
as for the stores.......im heading overseas this saturday and one area we are going to is the one that brought in the ban on plastic......providing they are cheap im going to buy a heap and let everyone know and i can sell them to you if you still havent managed to find any.....cross your fingers they are cheaper) Thanks to my mum for reminding me........wat i find strange is they put all this outthere about the plastic but no one can find them to buy via the shop....and i hate paying postage (im cheap) you would have thougth at least one shop would do it.

If you are in Auckland Nature Baby has a store in Grey Lynn. Otherwise over the web is fine. I have done both and no problems either way. They are actually cheaper than the plastic bottles believe it or not. I love ours!!! The only advise I can offer though is to get the clear silicon teats. Sam won't have a bar of the natural rubber ones!!!

Oh, and I saw the 3 pack for sale yesterday in the Baby Factory in Takapuna too :)

Ok, that wasn't meant to sound like a rant, just thought someone reading it might find it useful as I've spent countless days researching this since it's all come to a head. (And I'm continuing to use my Avent bottles) Anyway, each to their own. I do know that there was a thing on the news about most online places having a waiting list for the evenflo ones

We researched this to death when we heard about the news article. For us it was more the small chance that this could be doing some danger to Sam. When I was at nature baby buying the last 2 glass bottles the women and I were talking about it and she said something very profound, which totally made the whole point. This whole plastic thing may be blown all out of proportion but... am i willing to bet my childs life on it    
My MIL works at a baby shop and they had a statement from Avent stating that they would not be doing anything about it in NZ as the laws don't require it, this to me was appalling. Also that two countries have now banned the use of these plastic bottles. With the history of cancers in mine and my DH's families this topic hits a little too close to home - so we have decided to go with the glass.

I hope you don't mind me posting here, but you did want to know where to get bottles from.

We've just got the Adiri Natural Nursers in and they're a BCP free bottle. I got to see them yesterday for the first time and they're a neat looking bottle.

To be honest I would think the reason they haven't banned them is simply because there hasn't been an alternative. Glass bottles don't work for everyone.

The Adiri Bottle has only just made it into the country. We've been waiting for them since July last year, and goodness knows what sort of volumes they've been able to bring in as it's been really hard for international retailers to source them due to demand being so high. Looking at Stacey's list of suitable bottles I'm not sure how many are actually in New Zealand.

So in all practicality, it's a bit hard to ban something before a suitable replacement is out there.

Personally we have purchased some glass ones, better safe than sorry.

Medela are on that list and they are widely available in nz as their breastpumps etc are sold here.

I only just saw the list and I ordered the glass ones a couple of weeks ago.
