Emulait Classic Glass Baby Bottle – Shape 4, Medium

The Emulait Glass Classic Bottle combines durable Type 1 borosilicate glass with a customizable biomimetic nipple designed to simulate the form, softness, texture, stretch, and function of a natural nipple. This 8 oz / 240 ml variant features the Medium nipple color and Shape 4, supporting a more natural, baby-paced feeding experience and easier transitions between breast and bottle.

Why Choose It

• Durable borosilicate glass: Designed to withstand repeated sterilization and last for years with proper care.
• Hygienic and easy to clean: The non-porous surface simplifies cleaning, while the transparent glass makes the contents easy to monitor.
• Customizable biomimetic nipple: Flesh-like softness and texture, along with interior fibers designed to mimic milk ducts, create a flexible alternative to stiff bottle nipples.
• Natural feeding action: The nipple stretches and elongates during feeding, allowing the baby to use a natural suckling action and supporting oral development.
• Baby-paced feeding: Designed to let the baby control and pace the feeding, helping avoid overfeeding.
• Combination-feeding support: Designed to minimize the likelihood of nipple confusion or bottle preference and support longer-term breastfeeding.
• Plastic-free bottle option: Glass offers an alternative for families who prefer a plastic-free and more eco-conscious feeding bottle.
• Recyclable material: The glass is 100% recyclable.

The Feeding Experience

Emulait describes its bottle as a biomimetic feeding system rather than a conventional bottle design. During feeding, the soft nipple stretches and elongates instead of remaining stiff, helping preserve natural sucking movements. The baby can control the pace of the feed, while the breast-like nipple design supports families combining breastfeeding and bottle feeding.

Choosing the Medium / Shape 4 Variant

On this variant, Medium identifies the nipple color and 4 identifies the nipple shape. Emulait describes Shape 4 as its most common shape. Its selection guide recommends comparing the width and length of the mother’s nipple with the available Emulait shapes and choosing the closest match rather than selecting by number alone.

How to Use It Correctly

The Emulait bottle must always be used with the Responsive Flow Valve inserted into the nipple. Do not use the bottle without the valve correctly inserted.

Before First Use

• Thoroughly clean your hands and all surfaces before handling the bottle parts.
• Disassemble the nipple and base from the glass bottle.
• Sterilize the disassembled parts in boiling water for five minutes.
• Allow all parts to cool before giving the bottle to the baby.
• Before use, make sure the Responsive Flow Valve is inserted into the nipple.

Cleaning After Each Use

• Before every subsequent use, fully disassemble all parts.
• Wash every part carefully in warm water with dishwashing soap.
• Rinse thoroughly.
• Dry all parts thoroughly and make sure every cavity is clean.
• Avoid unnecessary handling of sterilized parts and equipment.

Dishwasher and Sterilizer Instructions

• Emulait recommends cleaning the parts in the dishwasher with the Emulait dishwasher basket.
• Use the top rack only.
• Bottle parts may be cleaned in an electric sterilizer or a microwave sterilizer.
• Use sterilizing solutions and sterilizers strictly according to their manufacturer’s instructions.
• Steam can cause severe skin burns, so use caution during sterilization.

Heating Safety

Do not warm the bottle or its contents in a microwave. Although Emulait describes the glass as heat-resistant, microwave warming can heat unevenly and create a scalding risk for the baby.

Important distinction: Emulait permits bottle parts to be cleaned in a microwave sterilizer according to the sterilizer manufacturer’s instructions, but it does not recommend using a microwave to warm a feed.
