What material is good for plastic baby bottles?

Nowadays, many mothers are unable to breastfeed their babies for various reasons, so they choose to feed their babies with formula milk. Feeding with formula milk involves the problem of choosing a bottle. Only by choosing a good bottle can the baby drink healthy and nutritious formula milk. There is actually a lot of knowledge involved in choosing a plastic baby bottle. Plastic baby bottles are made of a variety of materials, so you must choose a good one.

There are many types of baby bottles in the market with different shapes. Currently, glass and plastic baby bottles are more commonly used. In recent years, silicone and stainless steel baby bottles have appeared.

1. Glass baby bottle: suitable for newborns

The advantages of glass bottles are good safety, good heat resistance, not easy to scratch, not easy to hide dirt, easy to clean, and inexpensive, making them suitable for newborns who need to be breastfed frequently. The disadvantage of glass bottles is that they are not strong enough and are fragile, so they are suitable for mothers to hold and feed their babies at home.

2. Plastic milk bottles: suitable for babies over three months old

Plastic bottles are light and can be used for babies after three months. Among the three materials of plastic baby bottles, PP baby bottles are the most common and have good performance, making them the first choice for plastic baby bottles. PES has many advantages like PP, and is easier to clean and more durable, with advantages close to those of glass, but it is more expensive. If we ignore the price factor and only consider safety and durability, then the new material PPSU is the safest. It is easier to wash and more durable than PC, and is almost as durable as glass. However, PPS bottles are relatively expensive, and there are fewer brands to choose from.

3. Stainless steel bottle: for babies over 1 year old

Stainless steel bottles have a long service life and are inexpensive, so they can be used as bottles for babies over one year old. However, because the stainless steel bottle is opaque, it is impossible to see how much milk is left in it.

4. Silicone baby bottles: suitable for babies of all ages

Silicone bottles are safe, lightweight and suitable for babies of any age. Of course, since silicone bottles are soft, babies will feel more comfortable using them.

When choosing a plastic bottle, you can observe the material of the bottle, as well as its transparency, ease of cleaning and so on. As long as you compare these aspects, it will be helpful for you to choose a plastic bottle. I hope you can choose a clean and healthy bottle suitable for children. May your baby grow up healthily.
