How Do You Buy The Safest Baby Bottles?
Most Moms want what is best for their little one, and buying baby bottles is important. A chemical in some plastics called bisphenol A, which has been linked to cancer, impaired immune function, and hyperactivity, can leak into a bottles contents. Here are some tips to avoid this. Avoid hard plastic, which contains BPA. Instead, you should use bottles made of glass, or softer, safer plastics. Brands that carry these include Born Free, Gerber, Sassy, and Medela. Throw away worn bottles that are cloudy or scratched. Chemicals will leak into contents more easily when the plastic breaks down. Finally, do not heat plastic bottles in the microwave, or wash them in the dishwasher. The heat will degrade the plastic, therefore releasing the chemicals into the contents.
