Quick answer
Both Pigeon glass and PP bottles are safe for your baby. Choose glass if you prioritize chemical-free feeding and don't mind a heavier bottle. Choose PP if you need a lightweight, shatterproof option for on-the-go use.
Material safety and durability trade-off
Glass bottles are made from naturally inert materials, so there is no risk of chemical leaching even after repeated heating or washing. However, glass is heavy and can break if dropped, which is a concern for older babies who like to throw their bottles.
PP (polypropylene) plastic is BPA-free and widely considered safe by health authorities. It is lightweight and virtually unbreakable, making it ideal for travel and for babies who are learning to hold their own bottles. The trade-off is that plastic can scratch over time, potentially harboring bacteria, and some parents prefer to avoid any plastic altogether.
How to choose between glass and PP bottles
- Start with your daily routine: If you mostly feed at home and can handle a heavier bottle, glass gives you peace of mind about material safety. If you're often out or have a baby who throws bottles, PP is more practical.
- Consider the number of bottles you need: The glass set comes as a 2-pack, which may be enough for occasional use but likely insufficient for full-time feeding. The PP set is a 4-pack, better suited for rotation and fewer washes per day. For exclusive bottle feeding, a 4-pack (or more) is usually needed regardless of material.
- Check the nipple size: Both bottles are designed for babies 3 months and older with size M nipples. If your baby is younger, you may need to purchase a slower-flow nipple separately.
