We as consumers are very trusting regarding products we buy in the store. If you go into the Baby Bottle Dept. in any major retail store you will see a variety of different types of Baby Products. Have you ever considered the possibility of chemical contamination into your Babies formula thru the plastic bottles when they are heated up?
Bisphenol is the main chemical that leaches out from the plastic in the Baby Bottles you are using for your child. If you heat a Baby Bottle up, it will leach Bisphenol A at about 3 to 7 parts per billion into their formula. Well, what do I do is your first reaction to this problem?
We at Safe Homes do not recommend using any form of Baby Bottles made of plastic. The long term consequences of heating your child's formula up in plastic is not known yet. Do you want your Baby to be one of the victims of this long term study on our children's health. Bisphenol has been linked to a variety of problems such as breast and prostrate cancer. This is only the beginning, other studies have showed other health problems such as early puberty, miscarriage and other sex hormone effects.
So far there is no conclusive evidence as to what Bisphenol will do to your health or your Babies development in their early years. It will take a lot of evidence to prove this but do you want your child to be one of the early test victims such as the Asbestos victims that took 30 years to prove.
I have one client who would always run up and kiss her father when he came home from the Asbestos Factory when she was a child in the 1940's. She never thought that a simple kiss for her father would lead to a serious Respiratory problem that she has to live with now called Mesothelioma. I sure if her father would have known the seriousness of Asbestos, he would have never exposed his daughter to Asbestos Dust from his clothes.
So you as a parent have the same choice now. Do you knowingly expose your Baby to a chemical called Bisphenol because it is easier to use plastic baby bottles than to use glass baby bottles. It is a choice that you will have to live with in the long term. Your decision now can impact your child long into the future. It is your choice, make it wisely.
Concerned parents should switch back to traditional glass bottles, though the bottles do carry the risk of breakage. By the way, there is a new generation of BPA-free plastic bottles now being sold in Health Food Stores such as Whole Foods.
In conclusion, we all have choices to do the right thing for our children. It is hard enough dealing with all the environmental problems such as mold or chemicals in the air. We do not need to also deal with Bisphenol in Plastic Baby Bottles in our Baby's formula. Let's do the right thing for our children now and throw out the Plastic Baby Bottles and buy new Glass Baby Bottles. If you have any questions, feel free to call us or visit our website.
