never used bfree before. find it too troublesome to wash.
evenflo is ok. Get the old bottles not the new range though cos the standard teat does not fit nicely. So wil leak
Avent will leak.
pigeon is good. |

I heard from my fren that the BPA Free bottles for Avent are available in Singapore but come at a high price about 18-20 dollars per bottle?
She is contemplating to purchase it from US. |

I found Avent BPA free bottles at Metro and Toy R us. But price is steep $15 per bottle. B free is all made in China. So I have bought BPA free Dr Brown's from USA, also made in USA. Dr Brown in singapore is all made in China also and it's not BPA free |

I used piyopiyo BPA free bottles, a Taiwan's brand. It is also quite expensive around $20. Evenflo BPA free bottle is made in China but is much more cheaper than other brands. |

Hi ladies, if you are looking for BPA free bottles, you can visit this shop called First Few Years at Paragon, 6th floor. They have the following brands:
1) Adiri (USA)
2) Dr. Brown (USA)
3) Avent
All prices are not cheap. However, if you are concerned about this hormone wrecking chemical, then price won't be an issue.
I'm currenlty using Dr. Brown and Adiri for my baby.
You can checkout this blog URL for more information.

Hi I may be a bit late in this post. I'm using B-Free Plus, it's a Dr Brown's product too?
So far so good. We alternate with Avent bottles.
My baby has been using these B-Free bottles since birth as I pump bmilk for her. Her "wind" level is not too bad and it has drastically reduced the chance of colic because of the tube in the middle.
It's a hefty price to pay per bottle ($18.90 - GULP!) but it's safe assurance for a happy baby.
Now that she's older, about 14 weeks, we use the Avent ones more often than before and she's got no problems.
Hope this helps! |

I'm Using Dr Brown's USA version Now. I gotten 16 bottles, including 2 glass bottle.. Pretty troublesome to get as I have to order from USA. Paid $90 for shipping !! But no choice.. Best for the baby. BPfree is similar to Dr Brown but they sort of copy Dr Brown's design. I prefer to get the original. |

Hi Joanna, Dr. Brown's bottles can be found in Singapore. Thus, you don't need to ship from US. You can get it from First Few Years at KK Hospital. They have another outlet at Paragon, but it is currently under renovation. |

Hi springles53, there are 2 version of Dr. Browns bottles in the market. Only those make in USA are BPA free.
I only know the BPA free version is available at First Few Years. I haven't seen any in other shops yet. Mothercare only have the made in China version. |

Nope.. China Version are not BPA free. BPA free bottles are whitish! Not clear! Only the white colour ones from USA !! They are only sold in USA and Canada !!
I have checked with the supplier, they will be bringing in Dr Brown BPA free by end July. Another alternative is Bfree. |

hi mummies, anyone using Avent BPA free bottles and experiencing leakage? Out of the 4 Avent BPA free bottles I bought recently, 2 of them leak from the cap, which can be extremely frustrating when you're trying to feed a screaming baby.. 
Does anyone know how to solve the leakage problem? I've tried to change the teats and cover, but it still leaks from the teat cap where the screw-rims are. Sigh... v sim tia after spending so much on the bottles... not to mention wastage of EBM... arrghhh..
Does anyone have any recommendation for other brands of wide neck BPA free bottles that would fit Avent teats? |

hi mama_lemon
I've been using Avent BPA-free bottles for my baby for about 2mths. So far no leakages. However, we did not use Avent Teats, we use Dr Brown teats which my son is more used to so we dare not change the teats in case he gets upset and refuse to drink.
Avent teats can fit into Dr Brown bottles too but Dr Brown bottles need to be used together with a 'green-coloured' funnel like center-pieced which we hate using. And without that center-piece , the bottle will leak. |

Read that this is the most reliable BPA free bottles fm an independent website that tested all the BPA bottles.
Hope this helps!! |

Hello Jan Jan mummy, all BPA free bottles are the same. The more important is the teat lah. Whether baby can accept it or not.
Also, should you want to buy BPA free bottle, buy a brand that is easily available in the market. BPA free bottles run out of stock pretty fast in Singapore. |

I'm using Pigeon BPA-free bottles. Agree with Ultraman. All BPA-free bottles are the same; it is the teat that is important.
Got my bottles from Kiddy Palace. |

NUK uses glass bottle. So it is BPA-free. As for Dr. Brown BPA free bottles, it is already available in Singapore all the while at First Few Years.
AVENT also has BPA free bottles. |

NUK Bottles that are BPA free will write "PP" bottles, saw them under the wide neck series. Anyway most BPA free bottles plastics are not the clear types. |

Clear bottles not BPA free. NUK BPA free bottles are whitish in color but with cute prints too. But not easily available everywhere. I bought mine at Vivo Mothercare. |

My son uses Avent BPA free bottles. So far no leakages. However we are using Dr Brown teats.
I can tried avent teats on Dr Brown BPA free bottles before. It can be attached to the cover of Br Brown bottles. But I don't like Dr Brown bottles bcoz of the rubber funnel. |

Dear all,
Post on alternatives to Polycarbonate (BPA) for your reading pleasure. Alternaties include PP and PES.
http://chewingonit.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/61/
From this thread, it seems like NUK uses PP. I read on Avent website that Avent uses PES. Also read on internet that other brands like Green to Grow, Pigeon, uses PES. I can't find any articles comparing the PP and PES materials to claim which one is better.
Regards,
Ewe |

I have been using MAM bottles for my gal for 2months. It is not only BPA Free but nipples does not cave in!!!!
I have gone back to work. Hence I will give my gal express milk n direct feeding at nite. She has not problem with the switch in between.
The bottle design is great for colic babies too. It can be dismantle for detail cleaning without that center stick like DR Brown.
Bottles are colored too!!!! Not like the usual boring transparent.
Downside is it does not measure milk less then 60ml.
Available in box of 3 or 1 @ Mothercare or ship in from USA. |

Hi mummies
Sorry to interrupt.
I'm organising a BP (pre-order) on BPA Free Feeding Bottles: http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/3079091.html?1254964180
The bottles are from Simba, a Top 3 Taiwanese brand for baby products. The bottles are made from Germany-imported PES material.
Hope this interests you. |

i am using Dr Brown BPA free bottle. So far my gal is fine with it. And when i tried to compare Dr Brown bottle and Avent bottle, I don't have leak problem with Dr Brown. In terms of anti-colic, so far .. touch wood.. my gal (she is 6 mths old now).. she has no colic problem with Dr Brown bottle.
One set back is just that there are more accessories to wash up for Dr Brown bottle. |

hi
I need help. My baby is used to the Avent teats but we have so much problem with the leaking problem with the Avent bottle. It is so fustrating. Even though there are so many so-called tricks on the internet, it is still trial and error. So did any tried using the Avent teats on another brand of bottle to solve this problem?
Thanks |

I experience this also. It's really frustrated! I wrote in philips and complain about the leaking problem. ---- they replaced new bottles for me, according to them, it's an improved version. No leakage problem...... So now...i am happy again, haha. |

Hi little dolphin,
Did you went to Philips to get the replacement or did they send it to you?
My husband called them and all they said is to ask us to bring it down for them to check?
Thanks |

I use Green To Grow bottles but I use Zoli teats instead as they do not collapse like GTG ones and they have anti-colic valve. You can purchase GTG bottles cheapest at Love For Earth at Holland Village Shopping Center, they stock Zoli teats too.
GTG is avail at Vitakids but cost much more there. |

Medela bottles are all BPA free, these are pricey but good, I have been using them for more than 6mths and they don't show much wear and tear. Worth the splurge if you have the budget for it.
Pigeon also has some BPA free storage bottles (you can still use these as feeding bottles, just that they don't come with a bottle cover) which I find comparable to Medela but at only a fraction of the price. |

Hi
I use MAM bottles and I find that they are good. Medela is BPA free too but the teat is not so baby friendly and i find baby has difficulty sucking.
MAM is anticolic too but only problem is you have to get from Malaysia or from the US. Check out the Bulk Purchase threads. |

I forgot to add that NUK classic teats are compatible with both Medela and Pigeon bottles.
I like the special NUK shape as it is designed as such to simulate as closely as possible the shape of the breastfeeding nipple, hence babies should take to the teat with less resistance if they have only been latching on.
I use only NUK teats with all my Medela and Pigeon BPA free bottles as I don't like the normal shaped Medela and Pigeon teats.
I don't like Avent as I have had bad experience with them - they leak! |

Hi all, I've been using nuk botts since the birth of my girl. Recently I changed all to wide neck botts so I bot 3 and happily used for a few wks. To my horror recently, I found a number 7 recycle code on the bottles!!!!!! I went to read up as I went to find out the diff btw a PC n PP bottle n it seems that not all nuk bottles are bpa free. They all carry the number 7 code which means that it contains slight bpa toxins. I researched some more and saw that codes number 3 6 n 7 are unsafe.. I was v v upset cuz my girl is 15mths old nw. Been on toxic bottles for 15mths! I wanted to faint!
Just nice recently there's a green to grow bp. So I bot 4 to try. The botts r made of PES msterial which is even of a better grade than PP plastics. I'm still using nuk teats cuz my girl dun like /not used to the gtg ones.
Would advise everyone to check the recycle codes on all plastics. 3 6 n 7 are bad. 1 2 4 5 are ok.. Honey color bottles are bpa free n very safe.
U guys can check out www.safemama.com. There're a couple of lists abt bpa free teethers, pacifiers, sippy cups, bottles.
Hth!! |

As I have twins, I use Tollyjoy BPA Free bottles to save costs. They are less than $10. In any case, I change the bottles(once i see scratches or 3-4mths) and teats(every 2mths) frequently. Not sure gd or not but at least they state it is BPA free. |

Hi Huey Shyan,
I'm using the slim neck pigeon storage bottles. They are actually meant for storage of breastmilk but work well as feeding bottles too. Not sure if NUK teats are available in wide neck as I don't use these. |
