BPA In Feeding Bottles

BPA or Bisphenol A is a toxic chemical which can be found in some feeding bottles, water bottles, food containers, baby teethers and cups. Scientific reports prove that BPA can leak into food and liquids once the plastics are exposed to heat which our bodies then absorb. Experts say that these chemicals contribute to illnesses and disease such as cancer, asthma and infertility among us.

Concerned about your child's exposure to BPA?

• Always check containers for the triangle recycle with no.7 symbol before microwaving. Avoid!
• BPA is also found in the lining of metal-based food and drink cans.Choose glass instead.
• Reheat foods or formula using glass, porcelain or stainless steel containers.
