How to ensure that BB utensils, utensils safe? Most people only know that cleaning and disinfection, while ignoring the fundamental - material safety. BB products can generally use plastic, silicone, stainless steel and other drop-resistant materials, and "entrance" products will use silica gel, such as silicone bottles, silicone rubber pacifiers, silicone rubber toothbrush ... ... why these common "entrance" BB supplies Choose the silicone? Other materials are not safe? Here we will explain one by one.
To make the baby healthy growth, we must prevent "disease from the mouth", not only to ensure the safety of the food itself, but also to ensure that clean dishes. Bottle, pacifier, dinner bowl, spoon, etc., and even toys, as long as the baby may be put into the mouth of things, can not ignore the security.
Bottle is the first newborn baby "cutlery", not only feeding, baby water or other granules also need to use.
In fact, the bottle is not non-silicone can not. From the material distinction, the bottle is roughly divided into glass bottles, plastic bottles, silicone rubber bottles 3 categories; which, plastic bottles and PC bottles, PP bottles, PES bottles, PPSU bottles and other categories. General recommended 0-6 months baby selection glass bottle; over 7 months later, the baby can take their own bottle of drink, choose safe and reliable silicone bottle.
3 class bottle, the glass material is the most secure, but not impatient. So the question is, why 7 months later, give the baby to choose silicone bottles instead of plastic bottles?
First of course, is security. Silicone bottles are made of liquid silicone, non-toxic and tasteless, can be used as food grade; but the plastic to achieve good product characteristics, you need to add a lot of antioxidants, plasticizers, stabilizers, etc., will be harmful to humans. Followed by the nature of stability. Because the bottle is to be regularly cleaned and disinfected, the silicone nature of stable, acid and alkali, heat (-60 ° C-200 ° C), and moisture; but the plastic stability is slightly worse, at high temperatures or decomposition of harmful substances ( Such as PC material).
In fact, silicone and plastic are very resistant to fall, to the softness of silicone is moderate, feel better. So the glass bottle, the bottle is generally inclined to buy food grade silicone.
The pacifier is the real contact with the baby's mouth part, so the material requirements are higher than the bottle. Pacifier can be made of silicone and rubber materials, in the selection, in addition to ensuring safety, but also to better achieve the soft characteristics of the pacifier. So, most people will choose silicone.
Silicone rubber pacifier is generally transparent, for the food grade materials; and rubber pacifier yellowish, sulfur content easily exceeded, the potential "disease from the mouth" of the danger.
Silicone rubber excellent flexibility, especially liquid silicone, can be stretched and resistant to tear, for the shape of the product better. In addition to the softness of silicone, you can high imitation mother nipple touch, play to appease the baby's emotional effect. The rubber will be more rigid, difficult to achieve this effect. So baby pacifier, whether it is standard bottle, or an independent pacifier, mostly liquid silicone as the best raw materials.
