Are you looking to buy BPA Free baby bottles in Malaysia? What does it means by “BPA Free”? It means it’s free of Bisphenol A, a chemical that makes hard plastic, which makes about 95% of baby bottles in the market. If you want to know more about this chemical BPA, you may visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A.

There are few brands for BPA-free baby bottles here in Malaysia such as Avent, Dr. Brown, Nuby, The First Years, Safety Plus, Evenflo, Tommee Tippee, Babisil, Bumble Bee etc. Which brand do you use for your baby? Well, the popular one in Malaysia is Avent. Avent BPA free is more commonly available at most major baby stores. Back in 2008, you’ll have to buy it from UK or USA.

Philips Avent BPA-Free Bottles 125ml & 260ml (Single Bottle)

Philips Avent BPA-Free Bottles 125ml & 260ml (Two Bottles)

• Avent bottle is clinically proven to reduce colic.

• The anti-colic valve flexes to allow air into the bottle, reducing colic. The soft, naturally shaped teat makes it easier to combine breast and bottle feeding. Bottle is made from PES, a BPA-Free material with a natural honey-coloured tint.

• Shaped for stability and comfort, its waisted shape is easier to hold and its wide-neck design makes filling and cleaning easy. Clear markings on the bottle ensure accurate measurement and make it easier to determine how much baby has been fed. The dome cap seals the teat securely, to ensure leakproof mixing and travel without the need for separate sealing discs.

• Supplied with slow flow silicone teats

Suggested Retail Price is as follow:

125ml/4oz (Single Bottle) - RM43
260ml/9oz (Single Bottle) - RM49
125ml/4oz (2 Bottles) - RM79
260ml/9oz (2 Bottles) - RM95

During sales period, you can buy these Avent bpa-free bottles at 20% off. You should be able to buy them at greater discount when there are special promotions going on.

Does Avent BPA Free bottles leak?

Do you encountered any leaking problems on the Avent BPA free bottles? My sister been using it for her baby for months. No problems so far. I believed those who encountered the leaking problem is due to not closing it properly. You should also use the bottles with Avent silicone teats as leaking may occured if used with other brand’s teats.

Where to buy Avent BPA-Free baby bottles in Malaysia?

You should be able to find it at baby stores such as Jusco, Babyjaya, Kiddyplace etc.
