The Science: Why We Choose Glass
Understanding What Is In Baby's Milk
Tiny plastic particles tend to shed from bottles when exposed to heat, friction or sterilisation.
Why it matters for babies:
Infants’ gut barrier and immune system are not fully mature, which can increase susceptibility. Studies show that microplastics and associated chemicals can alter gut permeability, provoke inflammation, or disrupt the microbiome. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9611505/)
Some Studies That Shaped Our Choice:
When Milk Touches Plastic
A 2020 study published in Nature Food found that plastic baby bottles can release up to 16 million microplastic particles per liter during sterilisation and formula preparation. (https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-020-00171-y)
Health Risks of Material Exposure
Research suggests microplastics have been shown to accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, disrupting the gut microbiome, and causing dysbiosis-a harmful imbalance between beneficial and harmful bacteria. This disruption has been linked to various health issues and babies are especially at risk due to their rapid growth and immature digestive systems.

Safer Alternatives
Studies consistently recommend glass and silicone as safer materials because they are stable under heat, free of BPA/BPS, and are designed to avoid unwanted material transfer.

Our Safer Choice: Glass + Silicone
- Borosilicate Glass: Highly durable, resistant to heat and sudden temperature changes and chemically stable.
- Food-Grade Silicone Sleeve: Adds grip, protection and thermal insulation while remaining toxin-free.
For Parents Who Want To Feel Assured
We know parenting comes with enough second-guessing. That is why we show you the science, so you can feel confident with every feed.
*A Gentle Note: We believe that informed choices begin with access to information. Any research or articles shared here reflect publicly available sources that parents may already encounter online.
Every family’s journey is unique and feeding choices are deeply personal. What matters most is choosing what feels right for you and your baby.
