Paranoid Mum In The Making

Few days ago, I've written an email to my closest gal pals whom are either expecting or have babies already. In the mail, I wrote the following:

Hey ladies, I know you mothers are always concerned what goes into baby's food. If I say Avent bottles are not safe, you girls would definitely protest that everyone uses it so why would there be any problems.

Apparently, there are many studies stating Avent and many other mainstream bottles in the market are not healthy as the plastic contain BPA, which may may leaked to the milk contents during heating and etc. To know more about BPA and Avent bottles, please take some time to read:

Also, due to the conciousness of plastic, what others goes into their mouth other than food and bottle nippies? Teethers and pacifiers. I just would like to convey this message, its a matter of personal choice :) but I'm on the way to become a paranoid mother and just wants the best for my baby and future children.

I really hope we can get other alternatives locally too, I know its difficult when the products are not provided locally.

I was really happy that the email gets reaction from my friends (albeit one or two who disagreed). Currently, they don't sell any PBA-free baby bottles in Jakarta but I hope in months time, there will be. The closest to get it is from Singapore.
