The Cost Of Baby Bottles That Are BPA Free

Those of you who are now knowledgeable in everything bisphanol A (BPA), who own baby bottles that contain BPA, and are at the present considering a switch to BPA free baby bottles are perhaps looking at all the bottles on the market and are shocked at the prices - given that a low-priced BPA free baby bottle is $16 and a usual baby bottle can be bought for as low as $4.00 I am not surprised.

The fact is that most BPA free baby bottles are made from either polypropylene of PES plastic and both these plastic are simply more costly the polycarbonate. The main reason for this price dissimilarity is that polycarbonate is more abundant, thus making it less expensive.

The second reason, and maybe one not mentioned earlier than, is that PES plastic is still in it's childhood and a little on the boutique side and less frequent. Also, the main brands that have determined to manufacture BPA free baby bottles are still producing polycarbonate baby bottles, if not in the U.S certainly for the remainder of the globe. To demonstrate this I apply the parallel that when Ford develops a new concept car, the cost to build could be millions of dollars, but it's not until it goes to bulk manufacture that the price comes downward to a figure that the bulk of people can afford. Meaning, one day, BPA free baby bottles will turn out to be cheaper to create.

This means that, for the time being, BPA free baby bottles will stay a little on the dear side. One thing to deliberate, though, is that BPA free baby bottles will last a good deal longer than a polycarbonate baby bottle and it's probable that if you have more than one child that you will be able to pass this bottle on.

The other issue to think about is this; what cost should you pay for your baby's safety and peace of mind?
