Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottles

[tiggerlily]

Thanks Nurse Dan. Looks like I'll be adding them to the shopping list.

Do you know (or anyone else) if they are BPA free. Maybe a silly question but how important is it having BPA free bottles. Especially since they are now saying not to heat bottle in microwaves.

Cheers

hi there we use the TT closer to nature bottles and love them! they were the only teats that Tara would take, she didnt like Avent at all it wasnt good for her it gave her lots of wind/painful burps etc. I totally recommend the closer to nature teats/bottles. Unfortunately reading the other thread about BPA I have found out they are not BPA free

Can somebody tell me what thread y'all talking about? Dont get much real news here. I heat my night bottles in the microwave

BPA is a chemical found in some plastics. It is poisonous and can be released when the bottle is heated (milk heating, sterilising etc). You will find it in most hard, clear plastic baby bottles. I cant remember the plastic numbers that are bad - I think baby bottles are often a 7 - although most wont put it on their bottles. Bottles with a 5 are good (look inside the recycling symbol on the bottom on the bottle).

Are they available in shops like Baby Bunting?

I haven't tried looking for them yet, but I did notice that the chemists around me seem only to carry the Advent type of bottles.
