To me, the most ideal bottle would be that glass bottle. However, glass bottles are breakable and fragile. Not practical especially for older kids.

Recently came across a new brand of feeding bottle: Safety plus. It is made of Polyethersulfone (PES). PES is a thermaplastic which can withstand high temperature up to 356 degree Fahrenheit. It is transparent, tough and durable. This material is compatible if not more superior than PC. Most importantly it is safe. It does not leach BPA. This bottle passed the quality testing by SGS in Taiwan. It also compliant with EN 14350, an international safety standard. The paint used on the bottle does not contain lead. The price is also reasonable.

奶瓶安全vs BPA

身为父母亲的我们,都希望能将最好的给我们的宝贝。但是甚么是最好的呢?答案毫无疑问的是母乳。但是很可惜, 一些母亲却力不从心。对于这些妈妈们来说,婴儿复方奶粉是另一个选择。经过‘三鹿’事件后,我们都非常关注婴儿奶粉内的营养成分与安全。但是我们是否有留意到用来装载奶水的奶瓶的安全呢?

聚碳酸酯(Polycarbonate,簡稱PC)由PC 制造的奶瓶,杯子即方便,又轻便.但是妈妈们可知道PC 产品对我们的宝贝所带来的伤害? PC 是由双酚A (BPA) 所组成 . 在使用的过程中,BPA渗入食物内. 在吸食奶水的同时,孩子也食入BPA. 研究已发现BPA 是一种内分泌干扰素,能对孩子的成长, 中枢神经系统 以及生殖系统造成伤害. 加拿大是第一个禁止BPA 奶瓶的国家.美国的三藩市也实行同样的禁令. 本地并没有类似禁令来保护我们的小孩. 除了自求多福之外, 作为保护者的我们就应该在选择奶品用具时加倍的留意. 选择对的奶瓶和对的奶粉都同样的重要.

Breast feeding is always the best for baby. While we embrace breast feeding, there are mothers who, for many reasons, are unable to breast feed. Bottle feeding becomes the second best choice. We are concern about the quality of the content, the nutrient in the infant formula that our babies are fed on. Should we as parents also pay attention to the bottles that we use to feed our babies? Are these bottles safe?

It is well known now that feeding bottles, sipping cups, utensils made of polycarbonate (PC) are harmful to our health, especially babies’. PC is made up of blocks of Bisphenol –A (BPA). BPA could migrate into food and it is hazardous to health. BPA is a hormone disruptor, a developmental, neurological and reproductive toxic. Canada became the first country to ban BPA in baby bottles. San Francisco is the first state in US to ban PC bottle. While there is lack of such regulation in where we are, we as parents should arm ourselves with such knowledge to provide the best for our love ones.
