BPA-free Feeding Bottles

Would like to share some information about BPA-free bottles here:-

What is Bisphenol A (BPA) ?

BPA is an industrial chemical commonly used in the manufacturing of clear polycarbonate plastic, about 95% of plastic baby bottles are made of polycarbonate (PC), including most famous brands in the market.Scientist and international organization have identified Bisphenol A (BPA) as a potential reproductive and development toxin, as well as a hormone-disrupting chemical. Heating polycarbonate (PC) bottles or pouring hot liquids into PC bottles could increase the rate of BPA leaching from bottles.


What Can We Do to Keep Our Child Safe ?

Avoid polycarbonate plastic (PC), which contains BPA (bisphenol A)

If we have have to continue to use PC bottles, do not use harsh detergents or put bottles in the dishwasher. Instead, clean the bottles with warm soapy water and a sponge. Scouring brushes can scratch the surface of the bottles can increase leaching rates of chemicals.

Do not fill PC bottles with hot liquids as BPA tends to leach faster with higher temperatures.

Discard worn PC bottles that are cloudy or scratched. Chemical leach into food more easily when PC bottles break down.

It was a year ago, my younger boy Hao Wen was using Avent (not the bpa-free type) since he was born. Very happy with their bottles but not until this bpa-free issue arises. I don't really wanted to take any risk after reading the report about this toxic chemical in our bb's feeding bottles. Avent BPA-free bottles are still yet to be launched in Malaysia last year. Even till now this bpa-free range can only be purchased from the online store.

The online store which is selling this Avent bpa-free bottles was running out of stock due to the popular demand. It seems like i am not the only panic mummy who's looking for this safe bottles!


So, what i did was to purchase this bottles from an U.S. online store - Amazon.com. In fact, I had stocked up "quite a lot" of these bpa-free feeding bottles for Hao Wen as i really don't know when are these bottles coming to Malaysia!!

Avent bpa-free bottles (dual pack)

Besides Avent, i also found out that there's another type of bpa-free bottle that is comparable with my favourite Avent bottle, the brand is called Momo. Momo bpa-free bottles is made of polyamide (PA) and are more economical compare to Avent. The best thing I like about Momo is their bottles are compatible with my Avent nipple. It fits perfectly! We all know very well that our little baby don't really mind a new type of bottle BUT they are VERY fussy about the nipple...!

Toothpaste for Kids (SLS free)

Just need to share a good product here, called "Snappy Jaws" toothpaste - not for grownups.

I came across this safe toothpaste when i was searching for castile soap at Country's Farm Organic shop in Bangsar Village. It's imported from Australia with no sugar, no fluoride, no SLS - a natural way to fight tooth decay. Their active ingredient is called Xylitol - a natural substance from the Birch tree. It fights acid-producing germs which cause tooth decay.

Ingredients : Calcium hydrogen phosphate, water, sorbitol (from berries), glycerine, hydrated silica, lauryl glucoside (from palm), natural flavour, hydrogenated castor oil, vegetable gum, citric acid, potassium sorbate, peppermint oil, natural colour.

Comes in 3 natural flavours - superstrawberry, orange and pineapple.

Selling price : RM19.40

or you may check it out at their website : http://www.naturesgoodness.com.au/

Before this, the boys are using Kodomo lion and they also tried Jordan kid's toothpaste once (they prefer kodomo lion). Kodomo lion has yummy taste and very foamy and Jordan only comes with 1 flavour which taste a bit funny and less foamy (both with SLS and fluoride).

My personal review on this product :- This is a safe toothpaste for the kids as it didn't contain artificial sweetener (saccharin), Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (detergent foaming agent-toxic!) and fluoride; as kids normally have the tendency to swallow the toothpaste while they're brushing their teeth. However, there is always a price to pay if we need a good product; it's 5 times more expensive compared with Kodomo Lion. Will not mind to pay a little more as this is very safe to be put into my kids' mouth everyday.

Just got a new tube today (this is the 3rd), but they are running out of stock for the strawberry flavour so i choose the orange flavour. Hope the boys will like it...!

"scary spider" and "ghost"

With the recent outbreak of H1N1 flu, we have not bringing the children to our favourite shopping mall (mid valley) every Saturday morning where we'll usually have breakfast and then head off to MPH bookstore.

Saturday is our family day, the children will relax and have fun with daddy and mummy after 5 days of schooling. So, mummy is given a task now as to think of some interesting activities that we can do with the kids at home.

Hao Wen was watching "The Little Einstein" one day and that episode was showing some scary spider and ghost. He didn't not find this show scary but very interesting and entertaining instead!! It gives me an idea to make this 'paper spider' (learned from Barney's show) and 'ghost' over the last weekend. I used craft paper and old cloth to make these. Not very nicely done, especially the ghost but we really enjoy the moment when we're doing these together. I did the paper cutting and hao wen helped to paste the eyes and mouth for the spider. For the "ghost'', he helped me to draw a big smile on it.

When these are done, hao wen will bring his scary stuff around and look for a target to scare them off! So, everyone must act and shows that "oh.. it's so scary....!". Ha-ha. that's kind of fun!
