The short answer: pick by what you value most

Both Lansinoh 160ml options use the NaturalWave teat, so the feeding experience your baby gets is broadly the same. The real decision is about the bottle body: glass is marketed as easier to clean and sterilise and 100% eco-friendly, while the plastic version is anti-colic, dishwasher safe with just four parts to clean, and fits all three NaturalWave teat sizes. If cleaning convenience and sustainability top your list, glass makes sense. If you want a lighter bottle that can go straight into the dishwasher and grows with your baby through teat changes, plastic is the practical pick.

Glass vs plastic 160ml: side-by-side

  • Cleaning and sterilising: The glass bottle is described as easier to clean and sterilise. The plastic bottle is dishwasher safe with just four parts to clean.
  • Material and environmental claim: The glass bottle is described as 100% eco-friendly. The plastic bottle's supplied information does not make an equivalent environmental claim.
  • Teat compatibility: The plastic 160ml bottle fits all three sizes of NaturalWave teats (supplied with a Slow Flow teat; others sold separately). The glass 160ml bottle is supplied with a Slow Flow teat; the supplied information does not confirm whether it fits other NaturalWave teat sizes.
  • Anti-colic design: The plastic bottle is described as anti-colic with a wide-based, extra-soft and stretchy teat. The glass bottle's supplied information does not mention an anti-colic claim.
  • Pack sizes: Both bottles are available in 1 Pack, 2 Pack and 4 Pack options.

What the glass 160ml bottle offers

  • Glass Feeding Bottles 160ml with NaturalWave® Teat: Lansinoh's glass feeding bottle is easier to clean and sterilise, and is 100% eco-friendly. This is the main reason to choose glass over plastic if cleaning effort and environmental impact are your priorities.

    Glass Feeding Bottles 160ml with NaturalWave® Teat

  • Glass Feeding Bottles 160ml with NaturalWave® Teat: Size: 160ml. Teat size: Slow Flow. A small 160ml capacity suits shorter feeds or early feeding routines, and the Slow Flow teat is the starting point in the NaturalWave range.

  • Glass Feeding Bottles 160ml with NaturalWave® Teat: The NaturalWave teat has been designed specifically for breastfeeding babies. If you are combination feeding, the teat design is intended to support the transition between breast and bottle.

What the plastic 160ml bottle offers

Where the comparison has limits

The supplied information does not include weights, drop-test results or detailed care instructions for either bottle, so this comparison cannot tell you which is more durable or exactly how to sterilise each one. It also does not confirm whether the glass 160ml bottle accepts the full range of NaturalWave teats. If teat flexibility across flow rates matters to you, the plastic version is the one with confirmed compatibility. If you mainly want a small bottle that is easy to clean and sterilise, the glass version is the clearer choice.

How to decide in three questions

  • Do you want to change teat flow sizes later?: Choose the plastic 160ml bottle, which is confirmed to fit all three NaturalWave teat sizes. The glass bottle's teat compatibility beyond the supplied Slow Flow teat is not confirmed.
  • Is dishwasher cleaning a priority?: The plastic bottle is dishwasher safe with four parts to clean. The glass bottle is described as easier to clean and sterilise, but dishwasher suitability is not stated in the supplied information.
  • Are you combination feeding?: Both bottles use the NaturalWave teat designed for breastfeeding babies. The plastic version adds an anti-colic design and a teat described as wide-based, extra-soft and stretchy.

Pack sizes and what to buy first

Both the glass and plastic 160ml bottles come in 1, 2 and 4 packs. If you are trying either material for the first time, a 1 Pack keeps the outlay low. A 2 Pack covers a feed and a spare, and a 4 Pack suits families who want to batch clean or keep bottles in several places. Because the teat is the same NaturalWave design on both, you can start with one material and add the other later without changing your baby's teat.
