I was able to get glass soda bottles. Maybe people you know could save them for you.

I'm using the soda bottle nipples as well. I sterilize the nipples and bottle by letting them soak between feedings in water/bleach. They seem to be working fine. I needed bottles, so I paid $2 for two 12 oz coke bottles. You gotta do what you gotta do.

I start my kids off on with pritchard nipples and once they get the hang of it we graduate to the grey ones. I found out the messy way though that the pritchard nipple fits best on a pepsi bottle and leak on a coke bottle. Something to do with the depth of the threads on the bottles.

I absolutely fell in love with the lambar bucket my friend made for me last year. It was priceless when bottle feeding. The kids could get their meals and I could do chores, worked out great.

Here is a link on how to make one.

The same friend also loaned me a holder for the bucket. It is tire rim with a bracket welded onto it to hold the bucket. Makes it higher off the ground and tip proof. If anyone wants to see it let me know and I will get pictures. It was a priceless as the bucket.

I like the idea of being able to use glass! Will those Pritchard nipples screw right onto those or is there ones that pop on 'em?

Oh ok, sorry I was confused; I was looking at so many different nipples that I got confused... I've seen some that actually screw on and some that look like they pop over the top somehow (or fit inside)... :idunno

I think I'll just try the ones I showed; they are only $2.99, if they don't work I can always try something else. :)

The grey ones that Roll showed you do not screw on they slip on, so they should work with glass soda or beer bottles, I haven't tried it, We dont normally drink soda, but for a treat I got a 6 pack and then we saved the bottles. LOL The plastic bottles are hard to wash out, I don't heat the milk in them, I use a glass pyrex measuring bowel to warm the milk. But I think they would fit on a regular glass beer bottle.

I start off on Pritchard nipples and switch to the regular black soda bottle nipples on day 2 or 3. We don't drink much soda either, but I buy the cheapo brand soda ($.80 per bottle) and dump it out.
