New Baby Bottle Trend: Silicone
2008 was the year that changed the baby bottle. Glass Bottles made a come back, bottles with BPA were removed from the shelves and Silicone made it's debut.
This year at ABC a few companies introduced bottles made of this amazing material.
Silicone is perfect because it has no open pores to harbor bacteria. It is free of BPA , Latex, Phthlate, PVC and lead.
Bottles made from this material are flexible except for the BPA-free plastic exo-skeleton, which is placed over the neck and shoulders of the bottle.
