BPA, also known as Bisphenol A, is a toxic chemical found in many popular plastic baby feeding bottles that can affect the developmental, neural, and reproductive structures of you baby. Now I'm not trying to scare you but you should be concerned. After all, your baby deserves to grow up in a healthy environment. This is why you need to know more about your baby feeding bottle.
There has been much debate about this chemical but there isn't any reason to take the chance. Research has shown that certain plastics break down and leach BPA in to any liquids or foods it comes in contact with. The U.S. Center for disease control and prevention found that BPA was present in over 90% of the people they tested. But that's not all. They also found that Bisphenol A in humans is in a higher concentration than the animal studies conducted that lead to cancers, bad immune systems, early onset of puberty, obesity, diabetes, and other problems.
So what are the options? The good news is that there are brands that make BPA free baby feeding bottles. Here are a few plastic bottles for you to consider:
Medela Baby Bottles - They have always made with baby bottles BPA free. They are good for breast milk storage and formula. Really, these are the "all in one" type bottle. This is a great baby feeding bottle.
ThinkBaby Bottles - Not only are they BPA free, they are also lead, nitrosamines, and pythalates free. They have mimicked a breast by using a larger base which is convenient for your baby when switching over. They even have a venting system built in to the nipples.
Playtex Drop-Ins - These are BPA free and disposable. Again, they contain many features as the previous two.
But what if you don't want to use plastic all together? Glass is the perfect alternative. At first you might think this is dangerous but I assure you, they are perfectly save and you may prefer them after you've used them. Glass baby feeding bottles are built with babies in mind. They are definitely strong but can be a bit hard to handle, especially for a newborn baby. To avoid accidents, we recommend purchasing a silicone cover. This not only will give the glass some gripping surface, but it will help protect the glass from accidental drops.
Evenflo and Dr. Brown bother make glass baby feeding bottles so you don't have to be concerned about chemicals leaching in to your baby's diet.
