Is anyone concerned about the latest research and marketing of FEED YOUR PRECIOUS BABY SAFELY with BPA Free bottles free of phthalates and free of bisphenol A (BPA)? a suspected hormone-disrupting chemical used in polycarbonate plastic, from which most baby bottles are made.
I'd like to know if I should be worried about the possible effects on our baby and switch to the ridiculously expensive approximately $20 for a 150ml bottle PES plastic, which gives them a natural golden colour or glass bottles to protect her from the supposed Adverse Health Effects of Bisphenol A Including:
?early onset of puberty,?obesity,?diabetes,?hyperactivity,?increas e in aggression
?changes in response to painful or fear-provoking stimuli,?impaired learning and memory,?reversal of normal sex differences in the brain structure,?elimination of sex differences in behavior,?decreased maternal behavior,?impaired immune function,
?breast cancer,?prostate disease and cancer,?sperm defects,?impaired female reproductive development and?miscarriage
My littel one in seven months old and when she first went onto the nottle I searched everywhere for glass bottles which I couldn't find that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. Since then I have made the switch to glass. I figure better be safe than sorry. I found an nline chemist in Australia and they cost around $3.50ish from memory.
They are slightly heavier than the plastic but my little one has held her bottle from a cery young age and has no troubles holding these bottles.
I prefer to have peace of mind. Let me know if you want the name of the Chemist.
I definately will not be using BPA plastic bottles, even for me and DP I only store our food/drink in either glass or plastic which has the number 5 on the bottom (made from polypropylene which is BPA free). I havent started reseaching alternative baby bottles yet but where I used to work in the UK we sold strengthened glass ones which werent too expensive, so im hoping they sell them here somewhere.
Happy Baby are an Australian company who make strengthened glass bottles for about $6 each, thats what i will use for the next bub. Just search on Google, i was loopking at them on a site yesterday but can't remember what it was
Is anyone concerned by BPA?
