The advantage of glass bottles for newborns is that they don't release chemicals when sterilized with hot water and don't scratch or harbor bacteria with prolonged use. Glass bottles also conduct heat more evenly, distributing the milk's temperature equally.
On the other hand, glass is heavier and carries a breakage risk — especially when baby starts holding the bottle (after 4-5 months). Current pediatric opinion doesn't say one material is absolutely superior to another; what matters is choosing a BPA and BPS-free bottle. A quality plastic (polypropylene) bottle can also be used safely with proper sterilization.
Glass can be preferred in the newborn period, but when practicality is considered, both are valid options.
