Breasts are BPA free!

Are you tired of worrying about what products are safe for your child and which products are not? If you are breastfeeding your baby, you don’t have to worry about recent safety concerns of the controversial Bisphenol-A (BPA) in bottles and lining of formula cans- your breasts are naturally BPA free!   BPA is often used  to make the clear plastic water bottles and baby bottles.  It is also found in the lining of nearly every soft drink can to food product. The concerns of this chemical are that they appear to have estrogen like effects.  In animal studies, they appear to accelerate puberty as well as pose a cancer risk.  While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has deemed this chemical safe, a scientific panel recently faulted the FDA saying it ignored important evidence when reassuring consumers that BPA was safe. The controversy continues…

If you are pumping or occasionally need to use a bottle, there are BPA free bottles, however, currently these bottles are more expensive.
