Avent Bottles Recalled!

OMG... Just found out that Avent products has been recalled in Canada for containing a toxic chemical call BPA or Bisphenol-a! I have been using Avent breastpumps, milk bottles and teats for 15 months now!

This is a common chemical found in many baby bottles, drinking cups and plastic products. Is has been linked to serious health problem including cancer!

Here is a BPA Crash Course for you.

Here is a list of BPA free baby bottle and cups; unfortunately not many are available in Malaysia : (


Simply put, avoid all plastic product that has a recycling symbol of 7 ! (recycling symbol looks like a triangle of arrows with a number in the middle. Normally at the bottom of product)

Oh dear... gotta replace all my bottles and breastpumps (yes, breastpumps; I have 3 breastpumps!).
