Choosing the right baby bottles for your baby is one factor to consider to assured he also get the comfort

as of breastfeeding. It doesn’t matter if you go for a plastic or glass bottle. Many feeding bottles are out in the market today with different sizes, shapes & designs. If you go for a glass baby bottle, you have the risk of breaking it plus the fact that it’s heavier than the plastic one. But carefully choose plastic baby bottles for your little one as studies shows that some plastic bottle contains BPA, means short for Bisphenol-a, a chemical that is actually an artificial estrogen. It is used to create the plastic called polycarbonate. Most major U.S. baby bottle manufacturers use BPA in their production, as well as many food storage containers and toys.  However, after reviewing the research on the plastic, FDA that based on its ongoing review believes the amounts of bisphenol A that find their way into food and drinks are too low to cause any  health effects in humans. However, the agency is continuing to look into the question of BPA safety, and for now, the issue remains unresolved.

Disposable bottle liners are also typically BPA-free. It’s quite more expensive than bottles alone because you have to change them after each feeding.
