Best Baby Bottle Choices:
Benefits of Chemical Free Glass vs. Plastic Bottles
For some years now, plastic baby bottles have been
considered the best choice because they couldn’t break, but
with recent discoveries of the dangers of a chemical in
plastic called bisphenol A (BPA), people are changing back
from plastic to tempered glass bottles. A small amount of
BPA has been shown to damage hormonal systems in males and
females, contributing to reproductive diseases and cancer. A
recent study done by Environmental Defense found that more
than 90% of plastic baby bottles leach BPA. The news was
frightening enough for BPA to be banned in Canada, although
the FDA remains indecisive. Look for bottles made without
added chemicals, colors and plastics.

Benefits of Glass
Choosing a tempered glass baby bottle or sippy cup (tempered
glass is much harder to break) and a clear silicon nipple (buy
one made without nitrosamines) are the safest options for a
chemical-free bottle. Latex nipples are also an option, and some
babies are safe with them, but others develop latex allergies.
The nipple size determines flow size, which should be matched to
the age of your child: an infant takes a smaller nipple and
lower flow size than a toddler. Schedule regular nipple changes
as your child grows. Nipples come in different shapes, too. A
newborn with problems breastfeeding may prefer a different kind
of teat on the bottle: you may need to experiment to find the
right design for your child.
The drawback to glass bottles is that they can be broken,
especially by toddlers who’ve reached the hurling stage. Glass
tends to be heavier, and may get chipped over time and need
replacing, but experts seem to agree that glass is best in terms
of its food safety qualities. Glass bottles are still quite
cheap: one online company sells chemical free, 8 ounce glass
bottles, marked in ounces, with nipples and rings for under $12.
You can buy specialized bottle warmers or do your warming the
old-fashioned way, heating the formula or milk over low heat on
the stove. Sterilizing bottles is easily done on a daily
schedule in the dishwasher, but according to WedMD, unless your
water supply is contaminated, you don’t need to sterilize
bottles or nipples; cleaning with a bottle brush, washing and
rinsing should be adequate.
Using Liners is Healthy Advantage
Liners made by brand like Gerber, Avent and Platex can be
used if your baby is prone to gas pains: the liner keeps air
from entering the formula as the bottle empties. Try to find a
liner that is BPA free. The benefits of vented bottles include
equalizing the pressure in the bottle so the baby’s sucking is
uninterrupted and there are no spills. Keeping air from entering
your baby’s stomach may also help prevent colic.
A designer system isn’t necessary, but it’s an excellent baby
gift: you can supply parents with bottles, nipples, tightening
rings, liners, warmers and even bottle brushes, making the
bottle feeding experience as easy as possible. Buying a whole
system may mean getting it at a healthy discount, as the
advantages of buying a set often include getting it several
matching products at a cheaper price.
