CoddleLife Glass Milk Bottle

I brought these wide neck glass milk bottles on 7th May 2011. The reason I choose wide neck so that both of my children can continue with their existing teats. I have waited for 4 months for their stock to arrive.

The one with silicon wrap is belong to JC and the other is belong to JE. I found out that glass bottles are easy heat up compare to plastic bottles.

So far so good, the glass milk bottles still exist.

These CoddleLife glass milk bottle only sell in certain organic stores or online stores. I brought them in “Just Life” organic store without any discount. If you purchase it during baby expo, you can get 20% discount and certain online stores give between 10% to 20% discount.

Glass/PES/PP/PC Milk Bottles???

Even wonder what make PP better than PC once upon a time.  What make PES better than PP this time round?

Interesting information regarding Bisphenol A (BPA) Polycarbonite Plastic Safety and Bisphenol A Myths

In my own opinion, sterilisation is the main culprit to all this chemical leach. If a plastic container/milk bottles do not expose to high temperature, the chemical will not leach.

Is it necessary to sterilize the milk bottles? Read more:-

Is PP milk bottles are really safe? Well, I guess no body will know it unless another curious mind (researcher) give us a detailed write-up about it.  Maybe few years down the road, PP/PES are not safe as well.

So, we as the parent, we do whatever we can to protect our little one. Sigh! Nothing in this world are safe anymore.  Educated yourself, equipped with more knowledgeable information regarding what you are using and how to deal with it rather than be a follower of everything.

Throw Out Those Sippy Cups (Even the BPA-Free Ones!)

Article taken from theStir.

Just when I've banished every last bit of BPA-containing plastic from our home because of the chemicals it seeps into our food and drink, it seems all the replacements are bad too. That's right, a new study says all those BPA-free products I thought I was so healthy buying are still leaking chemicals that act like estrogen. In fact, they may even leak more chemicals than the regular plastic products that contain BPA, the ones I just threw out!

The good news is no one knows if these chemicals are harmful. The bad news as a mom to a toddler is that they could be, and from snack containers to bento boxes to sippy cups, my kids are consuming out of plastic regularly. With BPA-free products, I thought we were okay, but now we're right back where we started when I first became petrified of plastic.

In testing more than 450 plastic products, researchers found 70 percent of them released estrogen-like chemicals. That was before they exposed them to heat, like most plastic products are exposed to through things like the dishwasher or microwave. Once researchers did that, then 95 percent of the products emitted the chemicals.

So what of the remaining 5 percent? That, says researchers, is the good news -- that plastic can be produced that doesn't leak the chemical. They just don't know how yet.

So what's a mom to do in the meantime -- risk series of stitches and switch to glass? There's stainless steel, but once I throw out all the new plastic, they'll probably find something wrong with that too. Also, we may be worrying about nothing as things like wine and vegetables also release these chemicals, according to scientists.

"Regulatory agencies need to study the effect of chemicals leaching out of plastic," said Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst at the Environmental Working Group. Yes, it would be nice if they'd get on that so I don't have to wince in fear every time I pack my kids' lunches. In the meantime, they say to avoid exposing any plastic to extreme heat and throw out those pieces that are scratched and worn.

Do you use plastic products for food and drink? Will you change that based on this new study?
