Best BPA free bottle to buy?
Posted by: | Comments
Who do so many people think that all Avent bottles are BPA free?
Posted by: | CommentsOn Craig’s list I see people selling avent bottles and they say they bpa free. a few stores are even selling the regular avent bottles saying bpa free and even on here I have seen replies saying all Avent bottles are bpa free. I know Avent now has a bpa free reusable bottle and there is the via system , the tempo disposable and the magic cup but they still make and sell the regular polycarbonate bottles. It is just so annoying at how people can be so uninformed.
3 of my children were breast feed till around 3.5 months when my milk dryed up them I usen avent bottles with formula and now my my second child was diganosed was a develpomently delay and my third was diganosed as learning disabled My oldest that used Playtex drop in kind is fine so don’t tell me that there can’t be a possability that BPA has something to do with this. So excuse my rant.. And yes I do know how many things have BPA I have done me research.
Anybody shocked at the price of bpa free bottles??
Posted by: | CommentsYou would think that companies would be willing to HELP keep the chemical away from our children. Instead, they boost up the price so much that it’s ridiculous! I have held out for the Avent BPA Free bottles and they JUST came out. I rushed to the store to get some just to find that they are $20.00 just for TWO! When the regular (with the BPA chemical) are 3 for $12.99. How does that work?? I am so dissapointed. I love the Avent bottles, but the price is ridiculous. I then turned to Dr. Brown’s and the only ones they have are all glass ones which are not allowed in daycares. Or, the plastic looking foggy ones which I personally do not like. Just venting I guess. But anybody else shocked at these prices??
Does anybody have recent info on BPA?
Posted by: | Commentsi had gotten the Avent bottles and vapor sterilizer for my first baby… we didn’t end up using them much cause she ended up not taking bottles at all… and by the time she did accept them, we had changed bottles…
now, my second is 2mo and i’m trying to get her used to bottles… because of all the BPA discussion, i went to Toys R Us to choose bottles… the lady assured me that i could still use my avent bottles and sterilize them in the sterilizer, she said that all the big companies including Avent have recently done a research on their bottles and have come to the conlusion that using the Avent bottles and sterilizing them will cause NO harm whatsoever.
i live in France and was just wondering what the lastest news was in the USA regarding BPA in baby bottles… would you use Avent bottles and sterilize them?
thanks a lot in advance 
Trying to find a good, inexpensive BPA free bottle….?
Posted by: | CommentsMy baby is 5 months old and so far we have been using Avent bottles. He likes drinking out of them, when he was first born we tryed Playtex vent air. He would not drink out of those ones. Plus, I didnt like hot they had so many little pieces to clean. After the scare of BPA, I want to switch. But, the Avent BPA are so expensive. Like 18.99 for two bottles! Right now he has like 8 bottles and I need to re-place them all! I worried about using cheaper bottles because of the chance of ear infection…. Any ideas on a good bottle?
are all avent bottles BPA free (even those bought before the BPA scare)?
Posted by: | CommentsRecall due to BPA in plastic bottles?
Posted by: | CommentsWhat have mothers been using for the last 100 years? I was fed using plastic bottles, so were my little sisters, as are the kids I have babysat for, and I am sure that millions of perfectly healthy babies across the world right now are drinking out of plastic bottles.
My question is, why, after all these these years and millions of healthy babies, is there all of a sudden a hype about these bottles?
Personally, I have bought many bottles and have received many as gifts, and I will not be returning ANY of them. I think this whole BPA thing is another thing the media has discovered to stir people up, start recalls, and to worry every mother in America that they are “poisoning” their babies.
What is your take on this?
Laura, I see where you are coming from, but ask any mom on here how easy it is to clean Dr. Brown glass bottles…. I doubt you will find anyone on here that says they are more convenient than plastic… not to mention outrageously expensive.
Sterilizing bottles!!!BPA!!! Help?
Posted by: | CommentsI found out recently that there is BPA in certain bottles. I have been boiling my baby’s bottles after every use for the last 5 weeks! I am stopping immediately, but I need a bottle I can sterilize for my own piece of mind AND will work with breastfeeding. I am hearing that there is no need to boil bottles anymore?
Keep in mind:
1) I DO BREASTFEED ABOUT 60% OF THE TIME (for the formula haters out there)
2) I need bottles that I can use in conjunction with breastfeeding . (I am back at work)
3)I do not have a dishwasher, therefore I handwash and boil.
4)I am considering glass bottles so which ones can be used in conjunction with breastfeeding.
Any tips on the best ones out there? New mom learning to be a Good mom.
Does anyone know of a BPA free alternative to Ventaire bottles?
Posted by: | CommentsI am pregnant with our first child and my first shower is next weekend. Because of all of this BPA coverage my mother is trying to make me switch to a different set of bottles for my registry. I love the Ventaire bottles. I read about them a long time ago (maybe even before I was married) and knew that those were the bottles I would register for when we got pregnant. Are there any other bottles out there like them that are BPA free?
My mother did suggest the Born Free brand but I hate them. Especially because the brand is stamped in huge letters across the bottles. (Why do bottles need brands on them anyways?)
I am going to breastfeed, however, I also work full-time and plan to return to work after my leave. So I need bottles for stored breastmilk when I can’t be at home to work.
