Should I Buy A Stainless Steel Baby Bottle for My Child?
Jun 29th, 2011 by Christine
A lot of people are probably used to plastic and glass baby bottles. In fact they were probably weaned on such bottles. These days though, with concern spiking over Bisphenol A (BPA) content in plastics, people have been more attentive to the health benefits of the stainless steel baby bottle.
What is Bisphenol A? It’s a substance inherent to any plastic product, and researchers have concluded the validity of claims that BPA might affect humans that are exposed to it. Children, especially, might be inflicted with a number of developmental problems.
Glass bottles don’t contain BPA, but you have to make sure that the glass is tough enough that it doesn’t break. Babies and young children tend to whack their bottles around at times.
Good stainless steel, on the other hand, is probably safer than most material out there. It’s extremely tough, resistant to most molds and growth, as well as easily cleaned.
Concerns that metals might be too hot to the touch can be alleviated, as the producers of such stainless steel baby bottle brands are making them safer for children.
Acquiring a stainless steel bottle can also be beneficial for parents on the go. A number of day care facilities do not allow glass objects within the play areas because of the dangers of breakage. And plastics are already out.
Additionally, it’s been proven that it’s faster to heat milk in stainless steel bottles than in other containers made of plastic or glass.
You can also assure yourself that these bottles are environmentally safe because ever part of a stainless steel baby bottle can be recycled. Metals tend to be some of the most recyclable materials on the planet.
So, you’re not only making sure your child has the best care during his formative years; you can be contributing to the green movement at the same time.
