Babies up to 4 months are usually fed only on breast milk. Mother’s milk is very important at this age. As the child grows, we feed them with other milk, juices, soups, etc. To feed milk and juices, we use baby feeding bottles.

The early feeding bottles were made of glass and at that time, there were no health hazards. But these bottles break easily. Then the plastic bottle trend began. It won’t break easily and it was convenient for mothers to carry the feeding bottles easily while going out with their babies. However, at a later stage, researchers found out that plastic feeding bottles contain a harmful chemical called Bisphenol A or BPA, which is often used to make plastics “shatterproof”. This chemical is currently under investigation by the food and drug administration because there is reason to believe that it can interfere with a child’s development if he or she is constantly exposed to the chemical. Studies show that the chemical BPA may:

- Affect the nervous system of babies.

- Some children may become hyperactive.

- The female child may attain puberty at an early age.

This became a huge concern for parents. After all, a child’s health is the most important thing for all parents. An alternative solution is what every parent needed.

Some companies who were in the baby feeding bottle business thought of making BPA free feeding bottles. BPA free bottles are more expensive than some others, like their polycarbonate counterparts, but it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind. In these BPA free feeding bottles, the air flow is regulated so the child need not burp after feeding. Also, the pressure inside and out side these bottles are almost the same, therefore the child won’t get ear infections. Moreover, they are extremely durable and resistant to stains and odors.

With the existence of BPA free feeding bottles, parents around the world are much more relieved. They are now a popular choice for formula-fed and breastfed babies alike. Since these bottles are scientifically made and tested, they are deemed to be the best option for the children.
