Buying Baby Bottles
For the uninitiated, babies can be a very confusing business. Sleeping – something adults very much take for granted – means working out which cot is best, and how to avoid dangerous situations where baby may not be able to breathe. Travelling means finding a car seat that’s both secure and comfortable, that will grow with baby into toddlerhood. Travelling also means finding a pram, one that is again, safe, secure and comfortable. As for feeding, some mothers take to breastfeeding straight away, while others struggle on a day-to-day basis. When it comes to bottle feeding, this can provide a very functional alternative.
But, even bottle feeding is not ready, set, go. When buying baby bottles, parents need to think about how easy the bottles and nipples will be to clean, and whether baby will take to a particular brand. So, what are the options on baby bottles? Baby bottles can be made from a range of materials, including plastic, glass, silicon and stainless steel. By now, most people understand the dangers of BPA, so it’s important to choose baby bottles that are BPA-free. Plastic is cheap and light and shatterproof, but it can also contain BPA, so be sure to check before buying. Glass is heavy and can shatter, but is BPA-free. Silicon and stainless steel, like plastic, are light and unbreakable, and while they are both BPA-free, they can also be expensive.
