BPA has been banned from baby bottles in the US since 2012, so the choice is between glass, PPSU, polypropylene, silicone and stainless steel, plus nipple shape and flow. Many babies are picky, so buy one or two before stocking up.
Safety warning: Boon NURSH Reusable Baby Bottle (pink tie-dye 3-pack) has no score (Recalled Jun 4, 2026 (pink tie-dye 3-pack): the hard outer shell can bubble or peel into film-like pieces…).
The Bump's best overall bottle: glass inside a silicone coat that resists breaking, with a tapered nipple that encourages a deep latch.
Thick borosilicate glass with clear markings and a gradually sloped nipple for a deeper latch.
Borosilicate glass that works as a bottle, cup or food jar, and self-sterilizes in the microwave. A bit bulky.
A soft, squeezable silicone bottle with a comfortable nipple and optional handles. Lint sticks to it, and it doesn't warm well in bottle warmers.
18/8 stainless steel with a medical-grade silicone sleeve: shatterproof and converts to a sippy cup. You can't see milk levels from outside.
A nipple that releases milk only when baby actively sucks, which helps fast eaters slow down. Widely available and affordable.
An AirFree vent cuts swallowed air for gassy babies and is easier to clean than many vent systems.
A slow-flow, extra-soft nipple suited to newborns, with a built-in temperature strip, at a budget price. Some report leaks.
Press-to-close tops make one-handed prep easy, and you can pump, freeze and warm in the same bottle. Expensive per bottle.
Pigeon Silicone-Coated Glass Baby Bottle has the highest Cradle Score of the 9 bottles we scored, at 85 out of 100 (Excellent). The Bump's best overall bottle: glass inside a silicone coat that resists breaking, with a tapered nipple that encourages a deep latch.
