Hi,
Just enquiring how many of you use bisphenol A-free milk bottles for your bb? Seems that there are only a few brands in the market which sells such bottles and they are much more expensive. Is it really worth the money, in the sense that there's no need to change them compared to using normal milk bottles?
If it's really worth to get, which stores in Singapore sell them? Can the bottles fit most breast pumps too? |

Piyo piyo has one such kind of bottle. Definitely v. ex. You can get them from Kiddy Palace. My mum said we all survived using the normal plastic bottles, so what's the big deal, right? Just make sure we rinse the bottle with boiled water below 50 deg celsius. |

My MIL uses the old traditional method of sterilisation by boiling the bottles in a pot of water. So it's definitely more than 50DegC. I couldn't convince her to change her method, so trying to find other ways to mitigate the 'damage' like finding BPA free bottles.
The other alternative is stick to conventional bottles but gotta commit to replace them more frequently. But how frequent? Every 3 months? |

it is better to change the bottles every few months esp when you notice scratches and discolouration.
Heard Avent going to introduce their first BPA few bottles this summer |

I'm using NUK glass bottles to warm & feed EBM, but using plastic bottles to store in fridge. So each time I'll pour out the amt needed from the plastic bottles into the glass one and pop it into my pigeon bottle warmer before feeding my baby, glass bottles warm up milk faster also... |

I just got Pigeon PES from Taka today - $18.90 each. Its BPA free, its kinda yellowish in color. Expensive compared to conventional feeding bottles, but after reading the BPA issue, i've decided to change all our Avent bottles to Pigeon PES just to be sure - kiasu you may say, but better safe than sorry, right?
btw, Avent magic cups are BPA free, so for older babies can use that instead. Also Avent VIA cups are BPA free - i still use those to store my EBM. Just the Avent feeding bottles are not BPA free. |

Hello............
I also got the Pigeon bottles today as I was worried for my 3 mth old son whom I have been feeding with the traditional feeding bottles (Polycarbonate).
Not only that, as I am using the traditional method of boiling the watch, I was concerned about the leakage and decomposition of the BPA compound.
Although this Pigeon PES bottle is expensive, I hope it could reduce the harmful effects for our children. |

Jeelomeelo, i wanted to buy bfree bottles before, but then when i looked at the box, it does not state who the manufacturer is. there is no addess, no contact num, not even website where to check it. And it did not even state what country it was manufacturer. So it made me question the product if its worth to buy...so ive decided not to. |

Ruiqi, bfree is difficult to wash cause it has those vent inside which you need to wash everytime. Its the same with Dr. Brown and BornFree bottles. I used to have Dr. Brown, but then after 2 days, i dont want to use anymore...troublesome to wash.
Then i end up buying Pigeon PES. =) |

I also wanted to ask this question too.
When u r boiling these BPA free bottles, how long should the bottles be heated for over a moderate heat ?
And if you change the pot of water twice in a day, is this fine ? |

Bfree bottles have more parts to wash but they are good at relieving colic and stop leaking from bottle. I have changed all my avent bottles to Bfree as the new avent bottle has leaking problem, and not BPA free.
But what impressed me most is that the when the child drinks from Bfree bottle, the pressure is less than of other brand, making sucking more easy. My gal has been drinking more milk after we changed to Bfree. Hubby was surprised too. He now very pro-Bfree bottle, and intent to get one for the coming 2nd child. |

Hi Sonia,
The bottles are made of PPSU plastic, the standard sizing of the teats in this model are Y cut. I'm offering each bottle @$15, but if the buyer takes all 4 bottles will let go for $55.
When first boiling the BPA-free bottles, will boil them using moderate heat for 5 minutes. I believe most baby accessories (eg. teats, bottles) can be subsequently boiled between 3 - 5 minutes.
Hope this helps! |

Hi Sonia,
Have already sold off my bottles already. Fyi, the Y cut teats are non-drip teats, meaning that your baby has to have relatively strong sucking motion for the milk to flow. The other usual teats in S, M and L are just differentiated by the teat hole size, and the milk can drip out if bottle is held downwards. |

hi blessedmum, not sure what PES stands for but Pigeon PES, which is the yellowish bottle shown in picture above is BPA free. That is the main difference between Pigeon PES and normal Pigeon bottles.
i just changed all my Avent to Pigeon PES btw..Bought them at Isetan (both Scotts and Parkway carries it) |

just FYI: ever flo plastic bottle (pastel color BPA free) is $5.90 (120ml) and the glass bottle (240ml) is only $7.90
Cheaper than most brand. the only downturn is its plain looking and hard to see the volume. But other than that great value |

Yup,
Glass bottles are definitely BPA free. I believe the BPA chemical is usually found in plastic materials. I'm currently using the Evenflo glass bottles for my gal, and they're very durable. During demo at Motherhood fair, the salesgirl threw the glass bottles down onto the concrete floor, and they didn't break! Also, glass bottles can be used for life, unlike BPA-free bottles which have to be changed over time. However, the only drawback about glass bottles is that they are slightly heavier to hold than normal ones. |

Mamayee: I've already sold off the snoopy glass bottle. It was sold for $6/ piece (240ml). If there are demands I might order more, but can't be too soon. This is trial only
Celest: Since you've bought many bottle then don't worry lah. Just make sure that there is no crack and bottle is change frequently. As in every 3 months or so. And don't heat them up too much, keep the cleaning and sterilizing below 100degree. If you must, then you can also use sterilizing tablet.
BPA is this material that is used in many baby bottles. It will release toxic chemical if there is crack or overused. |

Hi Mummies, Just to check with the BPA glass bottles, does it develop bubbles with baby is drinking? I just brought apair of Dr Brown wide neck, and realise its not BPA free. But it is really bubble free when my boy is drinking. While last time i used the avent bottles and is causing so much white foams like bubbles... And also like to check, can glass bottles be sterlise using sterlizer? |

SharonBB,
Do you feed your baby FM or EBM. With FM there is usually bubble regardless what kind of bottle.
Or bubble can be caused by the air your bb blow to the bottle. Dr Brown might have less bubble because if its anti colic function. So whether or not its BPA free it doesnt matter.
Yes, glass bottles can be sterilized with sterilizer |

Dr Brown doesnt seem to be recommended by Mrs Wong BB from TMC. but I didnt realise it has an anti-colic function
SharonBB
glass bottles can be sterilised with steriliser. Even boiled in boiling water (old style) as glass is inert compared with polymer plastics. Hence the BPA issues. Hope this helps |

Last time before Pigeon carrys the new product of BPA free bottles if any customer ask they only advise customers to replace their bottles once they're 6mths old or with many scratches. So i will replace them as and when needed else use glass bottles lor, confirm no BPA one |

Hi!
I am curently using Bfree bottles. Used to use Avent, but recently even new avent bottles leak, and not BPA Free, so switched to Bfree.
If you want to know if bottles are BPA free, check if bottles are made of Polycarbonate (PC) or Polypropylene (PP). Avoid PC bottles as it contains BPA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A |

Dear Sharon BB.
glass bottles do not contain BPA. It is only plastic bottles (Made of Polycarbonate) that have BPA.
In fact, glass bottles are the best container to store Breast milk. |

Hi! All,
I got to know this website thru Googles and excited to share some. I'm fr Penang,Malaysia. I got to know BPA free bottles about 2 weeks back.
Previously my 2 years old boy used Avent and now I changed to "Music" PES milk bottles.It's come with different design and wide or small neck available too. You may log in to www.musicbaby.com.tw for viewing. Anyone is interested, pls let me know, I can help to buy. For wide neck it only cost RM32.90-39.90 and small neck only cost RM22.90-25.90.Beside, glass bottles available too and it only cost RM13.90-14.90.
It's quite cheap to convert to Sin dollar, just need extra charges for courier.
It's really save if it's PES plastic. |

Does the nuk glass bottles break easily? ie, once drop will break? I am going to buy some asap to feed my baby..
Any idea if NUK have plastic BPA free bottles?
Well, from what i read from the above posts by other mommies, i guess it is ok to use recycled plastic bottles to store BM, so long we dun use it to warm BM.
But one question though: we can still sterilise those plastic bottles, right? meaning, so long at the point of sterilising them, there's no bm inside?? do u get what I am trying to say?

Hi Sugarplum,
If you are interested to purchase glass bottles, I have the 2 NUK glass bottles (240ml, I think) which I only used for a while...bought too many glass bottles now, and my gal has reduced her frequency of drinking milk. Also have 1 extra Evenflo glass bottle. Fyi, I have had no problems at all using the glass bottles
Can let it go at a good price, so you can PM me if you are interested |

Hi Sugarplum,
Me also not too sure, coz nvr tried dropping on the floor...keke...
If not, u can try pigeon glass bottle, coz is cheaper.... think only 7.90
Think u don't buy too many at the time, coz when bb is older, they tend to hold the bottle themselves, so glass one will be too heavy for them to hold...
that's why i feel lah...
As for ur question, i suppose it shd be fine to sterilise it bah, coz i have been doing that... |

If BPA free bottles, does it mean we do not have to change the milk bottles? If using not BPA free bottles then we have to keep changing every 6mths old? How about the milk bottles used for pumping breastmilk? Do they have to be BPA free too? |

Hi mummies,
I just started using pigeon PPSU bottles. How frequent shld I change to new bottles since PPSU bottles are BPA free.
I also realised that my gal's upper lips is touching bottom of her nose while drinking, worried that in long term her nose will be tilted (like pig nose)  |

Hi everyone,
I saw Avent BPA free bottles in Malaysian website at thelilcaliph.com. I bought 3 bottles each about $30 and shipping only $10! |

Just a little comment. I bought an everflo brand glass bottle which claimed to be unbreakable.
I bought it during the motherhood fair and last week my bb accidentally knocked the bottle and it fell from the living room table. Surprisingly, it broke. Fortunately no one get hurt. |

Hi all,
Can I ask if BAP free plastic bottles still must be changed regularly?
I just bought bfree cause can fit the avent teats i have. But if still must change then I will buy the glass bottles. |

Hi.. if you are getting BPA free PP (polypropylene) type of plastic bottles, it will turn yellowish after sometime (3~6 mths) due to frequent sterilization. Although yellowish bottle is not harmful but I think it is good to change to new bottle after sometime.
The BPA free bottle should also have EN14350 certification (its a European standard for baby products). |

Hi st,
not too sure about teats. But we are supposed to change the teats every 3 to 4 months. Even BPA free bottles which are subjected to wear and tear also need to change. It is just that it does not release harmful chemicals that may cause cancer.
My elder gal and his little bro have their own bottles. Not good to let little bro to use his elder sis' bottle. |

BPA chemical only related to Polycarbonate bottle. The teats are make from sillicon or latex material. |

I'm very confused now...
BPA will leak from PC (Polycarbonate) plastic at high temperature right? As per Mancini's post.
PP (Polypropylene) is another type of plastic which they claim are BPA free right? Thats why Pigeon came up with the PPSU (Yellow-tinged)bottles?
So fundamentally, we still need to change PC/PP bottles due to wear and tear. Because these Plastic bottles will turn cloudy after few months.
Do Glass Bottles turn cloudy between 6mths to 1year of use? |

Yes, according to report, BPA will migrate from PC bottle at high temperature.
For Pigeon PPSU bottle, it is not made from PP material. Its another type of plastic material called Polyphenysulfone, which manufacturer claimed it does not contain any BPA chemical.
Glass bottle is very stable and will not turn cloudy after 6 to 1 yr use. It should be the best material for baby bottle. But its heavy and breakable. |

hi leomont, for sterilizer, i use pigeon, the one that can sterilise 6 bottles at a time..it fits all kinds of bottles too so i found that useful
for pump, suggest investing in a dual pump - really cuts the pump time by half
as for bottles, no comments now becasue i am also confuse by all the bpa chemical. hope this helps |

Hi LeMonT,
initially for my 1st child, I used Avent for bottles, but the quality has dropped, and it is not BPA free, so I am using Bfree for my 2 kids.
I got Nuk Sterilizer as it is cheap and good, less than Hundred buck, and my Confinement lady liked it so much that she bought 1 for her daughter who gave birth recently.
I bought Medela Pump-in-style as it is a dual electric pump. Very useful if plans to breastfeed even going back to work. Managed to give breastmilk to my gal for almost a year. Also good to stimulate milk supply. |

Hi LeMonT,
The bottle that I am using now is BFree. The sterilizer can sterilize any brand of bottles, as long as it can fit in. So far, no problem sterilizing Avent, BFree.
As for the pump, got new one meh? Thought they either have Pump-in-Style or PIS Traveller. Mine is the older version but still got the initial stimulation where it will pump fast for about 2 minutes before it pumps at regular pace. |

hi ladies,
with all the bottle talk, could i ask what is the routine of steralising the bottles? Do you sterilise bottles daily that are unused?
do you use the chico rack to drip dry the bottles? if yes, wouldn't it require to be sterilise again? |

Dear all,
I posted an article on my blog about the types of plastics used in Baby Bottles. Hope it helps.
Bascially three types of plastic materials. Polycarbonate types have BPA. Alternatives which are BPA free includes
(1) Polypropylene or Polypropene (PP) and
(2) Polyethersulfone (PES)
I'm trying to find out which alternative is better.

Hi Joy ,
got it from Kiddy Palace. Teats are not made of the same materials as milk bottles, so the teats will not have BPA problem. LIkewise for pacifiers too. |

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. |
