When to Change Milk Bottles?

Milk bottles nowadays are mostly BPA free or should I say most things made of plastic are BPA free. BPA stands for Bisphenol-A. How is BPA harmful to us? It has Estrogenic Acitivity which means it mimics the hormone estrogen in our body. Too profound? Alright, BPA is a chemical found in plastics that can behave the similar way how estrogen and hormones in the human body. It can imitate our own body's hormone in a way which could be hardazous to our body. And it is found that babies and young children are especially sensitive to the effects of BPA.

Some parents, I am one of them, will say," We grew up drinking from bottles that were not BPA free and look, we are still looking good." BPA free bottles will cost a little bit more. My philosophy is, if you can afford, why not? Hub will say," If you can just put off buying another Chanel bag, you can buy tons of whatever baby stuff." Make sense right? But Hub say say only la, he never deprive me before. Muahahah. 

According to a sales promoter who sell milk bottles, she advised changing Non BPA Free milk bottles every 3 months and BPA Free bottles every 6 months.

Tommee Tipee Anti Colic Plus Bottles

Frankly, I am a Pigeon user. Jewel uses Pigeon. From bottles to nail scissor. I had initially prepared Pigeon milk bottles for Ian too. But he refused to drink using that bottle. As mentioned earlier in my post, being a colic baby, I decided to try anti colic bottle. Was comparing Dr Brown with Tommee Tippee. In the end, I chose Tommee Tippee as their slogan says, Closer to Nature. After done a fair bit of research, it was said that their teat mimic the natural flex and movement of Mommy's breast. The teat is designed to be like a breast like shape nipple which allows baby to latch on easily and further support the transition between bottle and breasts. That attracted my attention. Ian likes it and I was glad that there wasn't any confusion between  my breasts and the bottle subsequently.

Look carefully at which bottle you are buying. With a Plus sign, it means it is for sensitive tummy . This range of bottles provide optimum venting during feeding via a unique tube and valve system. They also help provide a continual feeding action via an easy latch on nipple. 

Now at 1 year old, he starts to gulp drink faster so the opening of the teat needs to be bigger. Some may use a toothpick to wider it. I use this.

Bought it at Kiddy Palace. It comes with 3 hole sizes.
