BPA-free Feeding Bottles

Would like to share some information about BPA-free bottles here:-


What is Bisphenol A (BPA) ?

BPA is an industrial chemical commonly used in the manufacturing of clear polycarbonate plastic, about 95% of plastic baby bottles are made of polycarbonate (PC), including most famous brands in the market.Scientist and international organization have identified Bisphenol A (BPA) as a potential reproductive and development toxin, as well as a hormone-disrupting chemical. Heating polycarbonate (PC) bottles or pouring hot liquids into PC bottles could increase the rate of BPA leaching from bottles.


What Can We Do to Keep Our Child Safe ?

Avoid polycarbonate plastic (PC), which contains BPA (bisphenol A)If we have have to continue to use PC bottles, do not use harsh detergents or put bottles in the dishwasher. Instead, clean the bottles with warm soapy water and a sponge. Scouring brushes can scratch the surface of the bottles can increase leaching rates of chemicals.Do not fill PC bottles with hot liquids as BPA tends to leach faster with higher temperatures.Discard worn PC bottles that are cloudy or scratched. Chemical leach into food more easily when PC bottles break down.




It was a year ago, my younger boy Hao Wen was using Avent (not the bpa-free type) since he was born. Very happy with their bottles but not until this bpa-free issue arises. I don't really want to take any risk after reading the report about this toxic chemical in our bb's feeding bottles. Avent BPA-free bottles are still yet to be launched in Malaysia last year.

The online store which is selling this Avent bpa-free bottles was running out of stock due to the popular demand. It seems like i am not the only panic mummy who's looking for this safe bottles! So, what i did was to purchase this bottles from an U.S. online store - Amazon.com. In fact, I had stocked up "quite a lot" of these bpa-free feeding bottles for Hao Wen as i really have no idea when will this bottles be available in Malaysia!!

While waiting for the Avent bpa-free bottles, i've bought a MAM bpa-free bottle from Megamall. The bottle does come with a nice nipple except it has many parts that needs to be removed and put back each time we do the cleaning.

After a long wait, when Di Di got his new Avent bpa-free bottles, I was so disappointed because it LEAKS VERY BADLY!!! .... Just imagine, trying to fix the leaking bottle while the baby is crying for his milk?! Besides, I received the same feedback from few mummies who are using this new range.


What am I going to do with all the new Avent bottles that i've stocked up?? Since Di Di has got used to the MAM's nipple (wide neck), what i did was to try putting MAM's nipple onto the Avent bpa-free bottle and wow.... it fits perfectly and IT DOES NOT LEAK!!


Now, i'm so glad to see there are lots of BPA-free feeding bottles available in m'sia; either from online store or shopping mall. Hope there will be more parents buying these safe feeding bottles for their babies.
